This morning we had to say goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa and make our way towards the airport. Jasper was sad to say goodbye, because I don't think he understands that we'll see them at home in less than a week.
After a quick stop for supplies at Tesco, we went on to Bru na Boinne, a set of prehistoric tombs just North of Dublin.
We visited the visitor centre and booked a tour for the Newgrange tomb. You have to take a bus to the site at a specific time. We hadn't booked ahead so we were lucky to get a spot that afternoon.
Unfortunately, our time slot was right at nap time, so Ellis fell asleep immediately and Jasper slowly fell asleep as we walked around.
We got to visit the inside of the tomb, but no pictures are allowed inside. There is a fairly narrow tunnel that opens up into a cavern on the inside. It was pretty crowded with the 24 other people on our bus, and both kids were fast asleep.
The site is pretty impressive, especially considering the technology available at the time. Newgrange is 1000 years older than Stonehenge.
After the tour, we drove back to our airport hotel and went to a local mall to get some airplane supplies at the Euros store.
