We went to Grasmere where William Wordsworth lived with his sister Dorothy and later with his wife Mary. We went to the cemetery where they are buried and where he planted 7 or 8 yew trees. They are big now. There is a daffodil garden alongside the cemetery which is a mass of yellow in spring. We looked around the town, another pretty town before returning to Windemere. We caught a ferry to the southern end of the lake before hopping on a steam train for a short trip. The train enthusiasts were in their element. We then drove on down to Chester, a medieval town with a sign for 'carriages and post horses for hire'! The hotel was old with a 4 sided spiral staircase and severalieces of unusual antique furniture. Next day we drove around to see the cathedral, with a square tower, and the ruins of the Roman walls. There is parts of an ancient Roman amphitheatre and a garden with many artefacts from the Roman times. We then drove across northern Wales to catch the ferry to Dublin. We, of course, visited LlanfairPG on the way (Llanfairwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch). Today we had a tour of Dublin before visiting Trinity College to see the old books, including the Book of Kells. A copy of the first 4 books of the new testament, written and illustrated in 800 AD. There were other books of about the same age too. The illustrations are incredibly detailed, and the text in the Book of Kells is still clear, not smudged or faded at all. We had a tour of the Guinness factory and then went shopping. Tonight we are going to an Irish cabaret and dinner.
