Visited Dublin last wkend. We ended up spending more time
outside Dublin instead..
went on a one day tour to Wicklow and Glendalough on Saturday. pretty scenic views enroute...

they have got pretty lil purple flowers growing on turf everywhere (which they burn during winter instead of coal)

the valley where they filmed bravehearts! (not that I watched the movie)

lovely lakes..


Monastic City (Glendalough)


yet another beautiful lake near Monastic City..


American frens - Darren & Dave!

On Sunday, we went for the Guinness Factory tour... and we actually spent 3.5hrs there!! so ridiculous.. but the tour's kinda nice.. they show u the entire beer making process..and all the ingredients that go into it!

the tour ends off at the Gravity bar.. (right at the top!) u get to exchange ur ticket stub for a free pint of Guinness..

and u get an aerial view of Dublin city centre as well.

Guinness's reli black and bitter (yeh I know.. not much of a description eh.) but I reli havent mastered the art of appreciating alcohol (apart from those in chocolates) so.. I only managed 1/4 pint!
Massive Guinness hat in the Guinness storehouse..

finally.. we ventured into Dublin city centre- Grafton Street

Christchurch cathedral..

traditional Irish food! ~ Stewed Beef Casserole

and Irish lamb Stew + wheaten bread.

they're both reli hearty and lovely =)
ooh.. lastly.. do you know that garfield's Irish?

yup.. that about sums up Dublin trip. not as exciting as the other places.. looking forward to Switzerland this wkend!! =)
