Gravity Bar @ the Guinness Storehouse Dublin

Today we woke up late again. We still haven't gotten the free breakfast at the hotel!

We went on the Guinness Brewery tour which takes a while since its 6 floors of info. Will sent Dan an email of a picture of him at the Brewery. We played the alcohol trivia game and had a free pint of Guinness in the Gravity Bar. By this point my stomach …

Day 9, our final day in Ireland started early because we had to pack our bags and the car for the trip home.

I was having such a great time in Ireland and really wasn’t ready for all the fun to end. We decided to close out Ireland by going on the Guinness Storehouse tour. It was only 3 doors down from our hostel.

On the way …

About 2 weeks ago on our Ring of Kerry trip my friend Emily invited me and some of our other friends to go see a band called Walk the Moon in Dublin. I hadn't heard of the band before, but listened to their album when I was back in Cork and they are amazing. I instantly fell in love with their music and started to get really excited about the …

Ben and I had a great time touring the Guinness Storehouse and the Old Jameson Distillery, and at the end of the day we had a nap before heading out on the Hostel's Pub Crawl. To be honest, our expectations were low, but it completely blew our expectations out of the water. It was a combined group of all the hostels in Dublin (or most of them), and …

Today is our last day in Ireland. This morning we went to City Centre to the Guinness Storehouse. We took a city bus and navigated our way through Dublin on our own. The storehouse was cool, although we didn't have a lot of time there. After we finished touring, we went to the top level where Gravity Bar is. You can see 360 degree views of Dublin …

Well what a week we have had in Ireland! I won't lie to you - it hasn't all been great - SOMEONE got herself a cold in Dublin. Yes, my generally **** immune system which had been going great guns for 7 months without a sick day (some sort of record, for me) took one whiff of the Guinness air and decided to catch a cold. Quite annoying but a pretty …

So here is the last leg of the trip! Ireland then the uk. I am feeling that things are winding down and it was very nice to roll into Ireland where there was some familiarity w the language and such. Kind of nice. I really was kind of tired my first night after I arrived so I checked into the hostel and went across the street to a pub. I ordered my …

I flew in without a plan and made one. I consulted with a tourist lady in the terminal whose name was Marian. She set me up at the Abbey Court Hostel on Bachelors' Walk (the street name) on the banks of the River Liffey in the heart of Dublin, right across from the famous Temple Bar area.
I purchased a 20 Euro pass that included a bus trip …

After a full day of flying, we arrived in the Dublin airport at about 8:00 in the morning. We were tired, but decided to power through the day and not sleep until that night. After waiting for over an hour to get through customs, we emerged into the misting grey of Dublin town, ready to see the sights of the city. We caught a shuttle bus to the …
