Well we
packed in a couple of whirlwind days once Carmina arrived. We started out with lunch at the Pepper Pot on Grafton Street, great food, I had a pear and bacon sandwich, the food was different,
but delicious. Our conversation didn’t stop
until after the last bite of blueberry cheesecake. We walked around,
window shopped and ended up eating Sushi at Yamaodi.
We took the
Dart the next day South of Dublin and stopped in Dalkey, Killiney, and Dun
Laoghaire. Van Morrison and Bono live in Dalkey and the beautiful Irish singer
Enya lives in Killiney. We didn’t see any of them when we were there.
It was great
to be at the beach. Dun Laoghaire is a wonderful get away. You can walk along the water, get an ice cream at Teddy's and then eat it as you stroll through The People's Park.
A person really does not need or want to drive a car while in the city. It’s easy to get most everywhere on foot or by taxi. I would encourage anyone coming to Dublin to utilize the public transportation. The Dart will take you South of Dublin as I just mentioned all along the coast into Wicklow County. You can get a "Day Pass" and you're free to stop at any of the stations along the route, then get back on and keep going all the way to Greystones and back. You can also go North of Dublin stopping in Howth which is also a lovely beach area.
St. Stephen’s Green is always a must-see and also The Ha Penny Bridge. The street performers along your walk to St. Stephen’s Green are always entertaining, singing, dancing, playing the drums, just trying to earn a Euro or two.
Carmina arrived Sunday morning and it was pretty much non-stop until Monday night when we packed up, paid up and set our alarm for 4AM. The taxi was right on time at five and we were on our way to Paris!
