Been a couple of years but we have returned for our 7th visit to the Emerald Isle. Arrived early 5am local – and immediately had a bit of adventure as our luggage was delayed getting to the carousel. But all good eventually. We have the day here to kill before early bed and an early flight to Glasgow tomorrow.

Bus into the city – actually sun out! – and wandering the city. Breakfast/Bloody Mary at The Boxty House, then across the street to Temple Bar for first pint of the day and an oyster shooter.

River Liffey

Halfpenny Bridge

well… that first pint of the day turned into 8 or 9 – well ok 14. More tomorrow – Glasgow!
