Dublin

I've just been to Dublin and I absolutely loved it. I have been before so I know the places to go and the different things you can go and see.

We first went to the Guinness factory;

I did do it last year so I knew what to expect, but it was just as good as it was last time. It was only €18 admission, which has gone up since last year, but overall I don't think that is a bad price, you do get to enjoy a pint of Guinness  with that swell, which you can either pour yourself and learn how to pour a proper pint of Guinness or get it up stairs from the Gravity bar. 

There are several different floors, as you go through them, they go through the ingredients used, you get to try a sample of Guinness and they teach you how you should drink it.

The last floor is the best, it's the gravity bar, the walls are all glass and because it's so high up you can see out through the whole of Dublin, and there are little notes on the walls telling you about different buildings you can see, and what they are.


On another day while I was in Dublin, we visited a sea side town call Howth, it was lovely, just like being at home because I live in a sea side town now. You can walk all along the pier and the views are beautiful..

As you can see from the pictures, Howth was absolutely lovely, I would visit again. We ended the day with some cocktails in a little pub looking out along the coast, such a lovely relaxing day!

We did try to get to the Jameson factory but we hadn't booked online as the next tour wasn't for a couple of hours and it would mean we wouldn't have the chance to do the other things we wanted to do.

Other places visited;

Hard rock Cafe - Dublin Centre - We had drinks and some lunch here, the food was really nice.

Wrights bar and cafe - Swords - A lovely place for food and drinks, they always have a DJ on through out the week, so if you are staying in the area its a must.

Empire - Swords - The place for cocktails - Between 7 and 10pm cocktails are 2 for €10. Which is a really good price because drinks can be expensive in Dublin. Apparently the food is good here too, although I didn't get a chance to try it.

Sorry i've not posted much lately, there's been so much going on with uni and then going away, but I will post a lot more now i'm back. 

Also let me know if there is any other places I should visit next time I go!
