23 - 24 July 2012

The highlight of the day was a tour of the Guiness Storehouse, a truly world class attraction. This visit later prompted another limerick.

It's time to hit the hay,
And have sweet dreams if we may,
Today we tasted the Guiness,
With a passion from withinus,
And came away feeling merry and gay.

The Gravity Bar, atop the Guiness Strorehouse, has 360 degree views of Dublin.

Dublin has no Underground but does have very flash trams.

The inner city was buzzing with thousands of young people on holidays. We think they were mainly Europeans on summer vacation.

We had a wonderful time in Ireland but it was time to pack up and return to London for some R&R before the Olympics start.
