We arrived in Dublin after 17 or 18 hours travelling including an hour's delay at SingaporeAirport for some unknown reason. Grey sky, drizzle and 13 degrees is quite a contrast after Singapore! Oh and it's summer apparently.
We visited the Chester Beatty Library this afternoon at Dublin Castle. The library houses Beatty's personal collection of books, manuscripts, & artwork. Beatty made his money as a mining engineer/ mine owner and he and his second wife spent 60 years or so collection texts and art work form around the world with a particular interest in oriental and middle Eastern works from 200AD through to the 19th century.
