     We leave from the hotel at 10:00 pm to drive down to the National Botanic Gardens in Dublin. This is one of the most gorgeous gardens where there are many ponds, flowers, statues, plants, trees, and glasshouses!!- NATURE. Entry fee is free but they don't allow dogs, picnics, games, jogging/running, music, etc.This garden is only and only meant for walking through the garden, and enjoying the nature in itself! Our previously booked guided tour's cost is $13.42 for all five of us as one group. Once finished with our walk in the garden, we'll go to get lunch at Keshk Cafe Restaurant-$29.52. 
    Another beautiful park to see is the Phoenix Park which is also a sight of gardens and nature sites. Uniquely though, there is a historic obelisk of a cross dedicated to Pope John Paul II. This pope was one of the most influential leaders who helped end the Communist rule. He was also known for improving the Catholic Church's relations with other religions. -HISTORY.
