Our Saturday began with a
tour of the
Guinness Factory.
Knowing that we had precious few hours of daylight in which to tour the rest of the city, we took an Uber to St. Steven's Green - think Central Park but in Dublin. The driver, like most Irishmen, was conversational and informative. At 4:00 we finally settled down for lunch in a pub.
We walked the iconic Grafton Street a final time to soak in the Christmas lights and atmosphere.
We walked the quad at Trinity College before stopping at a pub in the Temple Bar area for a ceremonial round of Baileys and some traditional Irish music before walking back to our apartment.
It was a great day.
It sounds lovely. Your photos are beautiful. I’ve enjoyed your trip. Pack a Cadbury for me.
ReplyDeleteSafe journey home to all of you! Thanks for the blog.
It sounds like a perfect trip
ReplyDeleteI have relived my trips to Ireland through your journey. I REALLY like the the Guinness brewery too. It was more of a Guinness museum then a beer making center. I particularly liked some of the old advertising. Like the fish riding the bike. Safe travel home.
ReplyDeleteWe had a Bailey's for dessert yesterday, along with pie of course. No Guinness, though! Thank you for the blogs. I looked forward to them everyday. Safe journey home.
ReplyDeleteIf you don’t return to Green Bay and write a newspaper column, I think you should pick-up where James Joyce left off in Dublin. Great travelogue! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed traveling vicariously through you. What a wonderful trip! Safe travels home.
