Dublin

09/07/2009

Tossed up between Ireland or Munich and/or Amsterdam. In the end upon some recommendations from my old boss Burgo did the Ireland thing.
Being time rich and money poor I thought I’ll for a change take the long way around with an overnight coach and ferry crossing into Dublin.

After about 4 hours sleep arrived into Dublin with the rising sun; being early walked around the now quiet streets of Temple Bar and surrounds of the Liffey river before a traditional Irish breakfast watching people commuting to w_o_ r_k.
Then into Trinity College to look at the Book of Kells (one of the oldest books in the world), before visiting the National Art Gallery and the nearby shops of Grafton St.
Lastly finished the day by visiting, sampling and learning to pour the perfect pint (certified too) of Guinness at the storehouse museum. Simply tastes better here than anywhere else in the world!

That night noticed Dublins claim to skyline glory, a massive stainless spike that sticks up from a traffic island in the middle of the road…
