IRELAND!!!

My trip to Ireland was quite eventful - first neglecting to check in at the airport and instead breezing through security only to discover at the boarding gates we had to run back to the check in desk. They told us we wouldn't make our flight, but we hotstepped it as fast as we could, escorted by security and made it to the plane just as they were closing the doors.

I had never been on one of those "online check-in" budget airlines, so I was confused by the lack of seat allocation. I asked one of the male stewardesses and he responded with a wink "you can sit in the lounge with me."

Once we reached the Dublin airport and deboarded the plane, I discovered I had lost my passport. We dashed back to the plane and I had to wait with my favourite stewardess whilst they sought out my passport, which he had found. Anyway.. here are a few of my photos!

the famous Temple Bar area in Dublin

A cool memorial of sorts. Famine was it?

Bray Head!









Back in Dublin from the top of the Guinness Storehouse!


A bit out of order. We stopped in Dalkey, to visit Bono's favourite pub, the Queens Head.

On the escalator up to the top floor.

We made it to Dublin Castle (which we saved for our last day) 15 minutes after it had closed. So this is all we saw.
