The city of Sirens
It is my second (and last) night in Dublin,
My cold is still giving me the shits, but is slowly receding, with enough drugs (thank God they still sell you Psuedoephedrine in Ireland) and Irish whiskey.
Had a general wander about on the first day, then hit Temple bar in the evening, which was jam packed to bursting. the majority of all the pubs were overflowing out onto the streets, yet still managed a couple of pints of the black gold.
Dublin is a lot more run down than I expected, lots of derelict buildings about and general disrepair. There always seems to be a siren blaring in the background Ambulance and police always rushing somewhere.
The following day I did the Jameson's factory and then the Guinness Storehouse
The Tour at the storehouse is pretty huge, with an awesome bar at the top of the building, with glass walls, giving 360' views over Dublin.
Am about to head out for a last couple of pints of Guinness before bed.
Picked the car up today and its off to Belfast in the morning.
Later!!
Jealous much. Shouldn't you have one of those in each hand?

hello! sounds like you having a great trip and if you see Ben and Af again, send a big congratulations to them!!! somethings in the water Sim- you might be next!- good to see that your drinking copious amounts of ale with pseudoephedrine; that'll make for a good night and guaranteed hangover! Have fun in France and think of a very jealous me, whilst munching on a proper baguette with some runny brie- lucky bugger. christelle xo
