Maynooth to Dublin, Ireland

I rolled out of Maynooth at 8:52 this morning, with less than a half day of riding left to finish off crossing Ireland. I began again on the Royal Canal Way, which was a bit more rugged of a stretch than it had been yesterday.


After seven kilometres along the canal I had to leave it and cycle along roads.


Partly this was because I had to make a small detour to stop at the Cherry Grove Hospital to get a rabies shot (a story I have told on my traveling blog, anedmontonian.blogspot.ca).


After about 40 minutes at the hospital, I carried on further into Dublin . . .


. . . along the River Liffey and past the Guiness Factory . . .


. . . to the Dublin Port.


I stopped at the Irish Ferries terminal. I will travel from here over to Wales tomorrow as a foot passenger, and I might carry on cycling in Wales some time in the future, so this was a logical place to end. 


From Maynooth to here was just 28 kilometres, and took me 84 minutes.


I watched a ferry set off across the Irish Sea . . .


. . . before cycling back into the city centre, where I checked into my hotel, dropped the bike, and headed for some lunch.
