Day 42 - DUBLIN

We set off earlyish today as had a lot to fit in. First we headed down the main road that had the shops on it as Kim wants some brown boots and NO we didn't find any that suit, so New York better have them!!!!

Just another lovely pub

We then took the On-Off  bus around Dublin which was very good and the driver was very entertaining to say the last (I must admit we had a little trouble understanding some of the things he said! To be sure! To be sure!)
 We then walked around on foot as you get to see so much more and walk off all the alchol and food we ate the day before (Yes we have put on a few little kilos, so just be mindful when you see us next and don't say you look healthy with a smile!!!!!!)

Kilmainham Gaol, where the 14 rebels were executed in 1916
  

The Millenium Spire - erected in 2003!

 Well, we thought that we needed to hear some good old fashioned Irish music, by the way they don't start playing till 9pm or after. We had a little rest before heading out around 8pm to the Temple Bar area that has lots of pubs and music. We picked one that seems to have lots of people in it and it was very Irish, but let me tell you they don't play the old Irish music - it is all the modern stuff that we can sing along to, which I really enjoyed. Met some people and asked them where we go for Irish music and we were told that Perth has great Irish music or Christchurch back home (haha, go Ireland).

 Walked home around 11ish and still wasn't dark dark in the sky but pleasant seeing the city at night. OK fellow followers off to New York to see the Big Apple before returning home! :-) Talk tomorrow
