This is how we chose to get around on our day exploring Dublin. It did a tour to twenty some points and then would repeat all day long. Your bus pass let you come a go as you pleased.
This is our German travel companion surveying the area. We'll call him George.

Here we are. I believe I was stowing my bus pass in my breast pocket.

This is the General Post Office. A location of some significance that I will discuss later.

Here is the bus and our tour guide. We asked around and made sure we caught a bus with a live guide and not a recorded one.
