12,593 Steps
(Managed to get 7,603 steps out of travel day. The time zone change played a bit of havoc with the fitbit, but for all the sitting still covered a bit of ground.)
I have arrived! Immigration and customs is pretty easy, and found the bus running near my hotel right away. Arrived at the hotel way early for checkin, but marvelously they would be ready in about 30 min. Went on walk about Grafton, and many of the shops and restaurants were just starting to open. Found coffee and cruised St Stephen's Green in a soft rain. Felt a lot like home.
Wasn't terribly adventurous overall. Indulged in a bit of a nap, and went back out to see what goes on in the hood around happy hour. Basically every pub is bursting with people. This place is humming. Actually found one of the Rick Steve's recommended pubs, and scouted a seat. They serve cider over ice here. Maybe because they don't refrigerate the bottles? After bight and bev, was pretty much done for.
Upon return to the Inn discovered my window nearly overlooks the terrace for a rather massive club located next door. Oddly enough, I think it was when the music died down around 3AM when I woke up. Pretty much lay there in a semi awake state for the next several hrs, before just giving in to start my day.
