A day in Dublin

 Dublin can certainly give Melbourne a run for it's money with the four seasons in one day thing. This morning was warmish and sunny, with blue skies. We set off to walk through Temple Bar to see what we would see. After that we wandered through St. Stephen's Green, a lovely park, where the first blossom and daffodils were just coming out.

We then came across the National Museum in Dublin, which was amazing with lots of ancient artefacts from Ireland's past, even mummified bodies that have been found preserved in the Irish bogs. Fascinating stuff.

As we came out of the museum, we found the temperature had plummeted and it was pouring rain, so we were thoroughly soaked by the time we got back to the hotel.

Dublin is a city of many bars and restaurants, and it's tricky to choose where to eat. Tonight though, we had booked tickets to a Celtic Nights dinner show which was fabulous. Such energy and fun music and energetic Irish dance, with a lovely meal. It was a perfect way to finish the day.

  1. Lots of pubs, what a great idea, Ireland looks a very interesting place. Maureen has asked me to tell you she has sold her house, she is finding it hard to get onto your blog.
