Dang.. it went fast!!! Last day on vacation, and heading back home tomorrow. Took the car to Malahide Castle for a few hours. Enjoyed the castle and the vast botanical gardens as well. (LOVED the butterfly house they had) Ate lunch at the garden cafe, then sadly returned the rental back. Had one last dinner with some Guinness Pints, Jameson whiskey, and authentic Irish food. Then headed back to the apartment to pack for the journey home.
