Weekend in DUBLIN, IRELAND!

Worked half day on friday & went to dublin for the weekend - less than an hour flight from London! Turned out there was a big footy match on sun arvo Ireland v France so it was really busy with loads of french around. Stayed in a hotel about 10 mins bus ride out of town toward the airport, everywhere else was full! Loved Dublin - there was a great atmosphere, everyone was very friendly... managed to fit in a bit of sightseeing, some shopping, a bus tour of the city, a tour of the Guinness Storehouse and a reasonable amount of nightlife!



O'Connell Street - main shopping street



Monument of Light (60 metre knitting needle)



Monument of Peace - giant cross of water at top end of O'Connell St.





Tram!



River Liffey (looking upstream)




Trinity College


Dublin Castle






The Temple Bar - this was where I spent most of friday night!

Temple Bar area by night

Did a tour of the Guinness Storehouse!

Claimed a pint of the 'black stuff' at the top where they have a great 360 degree view of Dublin.


Looking up through the centre of the storehouse - 7 stories high.
