Dublin

Arrived in Dublin for the last part of our trip. Cold and rainy afternoon with flooding in some parts of the city. We wandered a bit and then retired to the bar on our lovely hotel - The Marlin. Started Saturday with another big wander with stops at some jewelry stores, a cross over the ha'penny bridge, a cheesemongery (had to taste several - amazing. We were highly entertained by the young fellow who served us. When he asked about our trip and Mary told him we had walked the Camino his response was "fair play to you". Apparently that is Irish for wow, good for you.) and a visit to the Celtic whiskey shop that Rachel O'Reilly said we had to visit. You were right Rachel! Next on to the Temple Bar area where we walked by several pubs with live fiddle music and singing. We settled on Quay's upstairs where we were able to get a table and have a great fish and chips lunch. After more wandering we visited The Gin Palace. In the evening we saw a play at the historic Gaiety Theatre, founded in 1871.Weiterlesen
