EXPLORING DUBLIN

Today Millie and I are going into Dublin to have a look around. We caught the train in with Karry & Graham and then parted ways. We went to search for the ‘hop on hop off’ bus while Karry & Graham went to visit Trinity College. We want to visit the famous Guinness Stonehouse and it is one of the stops on the bus. After riding around looking at other parts of the city we hopped off to go and visit Guinness. It was a fantastic place to visit, lots of interactive exhibits and lots of info on how the Guinness is made. It’s a lovely building too with a few levels, and apart from the displays, it also has a coffee shop and a couple of eateries. There is a lovely bar at the top level which was very popular and of course serving Guinness! Millie and I sat up here and had a bit of a rest while we had a Guinness and enjoyed the atmosphere.

After buying a few souvenirs from the Guinness shop, we jumped back on the ‘hop on hop off’ bus and away we went again. We finished the circuit and thoroughly enjoyed riding around and seeing the beautiful old buildings, parks and monuments. We had a coffee when we finished and a look at a couple of shops before heading off to catch the train back to meet Karry and Graham. Another friendly face at the train station helped us find how to pay and get on the right train. Karry and Graham found us at our meet up place and away we went back to Sandyford.

Back to Blue Light for our second and last night there. Another great dinner at the pub followed by some entertaining music.Read more
