Ireland: Day 6 (Dublin)

The Bonnington Hotel is our destination for the night after leaving Kilbeggan, so we plugged the hotel's name in the GPS. Just like many times this trip, we were taken somewhere else. I don't know what's going on, but the GPS led us to a residential area, that took all our patience and common sense to get back to the right track. After much delay and headaches, we managed to find the hotel. I don't know if it's because the hotel changed its name from Regency Hotel to Bonnington is the reason why the darn GPS gave us the wrong destination.

The hotel is really nice with ample parking in the back is provided for guests. The accommodations are really nicer than we expected - and the front desk clerk is friendly and accommodating. It is a large hotel and centrally located near the airport.

Once we got all our bags down, we went out to explore. We found Jervis Shopping Center and decided it's where we want to spend a couple of hours before turning in for the night. It is a huge mall and quite difficult to navigate at first. We saw a little cake shop sitting in the middle like a coffee cart type. We were in need of a little snack, so why not? A piece of cake and a cup of joe which we shared before continuing to see what else is there in this huge mall.









We walked around up and down the 5 or so levels, in and out of stores browsing and checking but no buying. Hunger was setting in, but we found the restaurants were in the process of closing. We were a bit sad that one of the eateries we chose to eat dinner at was actually completely closed up for the night when we returned. However, we found food halls, 2 of them, and so we got pre-packed food to go for dinner at the hotel. Just outside the mall is a pedestrian only street. We tried to see as much as we could but it was raining and very cold and thought it was time to go back to the hotel to be warm and get planning for the next day.
