DOOOBLIN!!!

Woot we hit Dublin yesterday morning around 8 AM. I couldn't stop giggling and Amanda thought something was wrong with me. Iono but this place makes me happy. Hell I don't care if I got stuck here forever. That's subject to change but we're really loving it so far. Met some really cool people...

Dublin once more

Later that day, I got the bus back to Dublin. I went back to the East Coast Swing lessons that evening, and had an excellent time. Two lessons gives enough steps to almost dance with, and I got the footwork enough that I could insert some Modern Jive moves. Hopefully they didn't look out of...

The start of the walking bit

The walking bit starts, so what happens? It starts raining. Hard. I started from my B & B in Dublin, and walked South towards the start of the Wicklow Way. I wasn't going to walk the whole thing, only as far as Glendalough. I went through a soggy Rathfarnham, saw a soggy looking castle in...

just passing through...

I had planned today to look at the book of Kells in Trinity College, but the queue was massive, so I went straight by train to Howth.

More in Dublin

By this time, I was running out of days to do Dublin before I had to move on to the walking part of the trip. I started off by doing the rest of the National Museum. There aren't enough superlatives, really. If only the British Museum was this good. After that, I crossed the river and...

Carry on up the Liffey

The bug seemed to have passed a bit, so I decided on a walk up the Liffey for today. I started off, but then decided on an Irish breakfast. This turned out to be ok, but a bit meat-heavy. I'm a bit dubious about white pudding: kind of like sausage meat, and not what I want for breakfast....

Tuesday is archaeology day

Tuesday was the day I got a bug as well... Anyway, I found out today that my roommate was a French girl called Stephanie. She was meant to have come with her boyfriend, but he had discovered at the last minute his passport was out of date. A lesson for us all there... I headed South across...

a little bit of Dublin

Dublin at last! I arrived at Dun Laorigh which is just at the southern extreme, and had to catch a DART train into the centre. It's a scenic trip along the coast: I hadn't really realised Dublin had so many sandy beaches. The centre of Dublin, near to the main rail station, is ugly, noisy and...
