Driving up the Coast ...







We drove along the coast road through County Down. Stopping for a toilet break we came across a little walk from the car park down to the water ... pretty nice! And the weather got better too ...

Dublin By Night ...

The River Liffy (I think) runs through Dublin.





Nope, we didn't make it into the Temple Bar! But we did wander past for a picture.






Hard Rock Cafe, Dublin




Always happy to pass a Hard Rock Cafe and pick up a t-shirt - the location specific one! Yes, my t-shirt collection has increased by another!

Brazen Head, Dublin




We ate at the Oldest Pub in Dublin, the Brazen Head. Quite a different place to the Brazen Head in Stellenbosch who just had their 2nd anniversary and when I visited had never seen an Irish person, let alone a Scottish person!

O'Connell Street, Dublin

We stayed in O'Connell Street, right downtown in Dublin.



The General Post Office (GPO) also on O'Connell Street.



The Royal Dublin Hotel - which was lovely, and handy for everything that we wanted to do and see (thanks Paul). I even managed to get stuck (literally) in the lift (elevator) doors on the way to our room!
