Catching up, Part 2 - Dublin

Here are some of our Dublin pictures from our week in the Irish Capital.

Highlights included Chrystal's first (and many subsequent) Guinness, our Ulysses walk around the streets of Dublin, the highly recommended Guinness tour and many historical sites around the city (The Gaol, Croke Park [DESPITE the Rugby result a few days previous], Ha'penny Bridge, the Post Office etc).
Walking is always the best way to see a new city although we cheated with taxi when we ran out of stream or the weather threatened. However we did spend most of Tuesday following a walk that Chrystal had downloaded to her iPod, following the route of Leopold Bloom around the city.

It rained a bit (actually quite a lot, one day in particular!!) but but we had a BLAST! of a time.

Our traditional Irish fare consisted of Curry, home-made chicken pie (thanks to our friends Dervela and James), Indonesian and finally some (Irish traditional) Boxty, and of course many Guinness.

We never did make it out of the city - the suggested trip to the mountains started too early (for this is a town where breakfast is served until 11! :) ) and we were taking it easy this week. Maybe we'll do the grand tour next time...

SLAINTE!
