A taste of Ireland
I headed to Ireland’s capital, Dublin, for a fun-filled weekend with friends from London.
We flew in Saturday morning and out Sunday night so we packed in as much as possible. Of the highlights was a visit to the Guinness Storehouse, the product Ireland is most famous for. We learnt the history of this famous brew, had samples and enjoyed our own pint on the seventh floor Gravity Bar with 360 degree views of Dublin. And I can say the Guinness definitely tastes better in Dublin – it must be something in the water.

Among the other highlights were a night out in the Temple Bar area, a visit to Dublin Castle, Trinity College, Christ Church Cathedral, lunch at Temple Bar with two pages of sandwiches to choose from, dinner in an Irish pub – try beef and Guinness pie or Irish stew – and afternoon tea at Queen of Tarts with an array of delectable treats. One thing is for sure, the Irish like their drink!!
