Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling.....

Sorry for my goat like singing folks, it's probably the nostalgia! It's been a few months now since we've been to Dublin and the memories are still fresh! We fell in love with that city! The buzz, the shops, the Irish pubs, the views - a delight!
Firstly, I must say that although architecture wise it's nowhere near as beautiful as Edinburgh this city has a really good feel to it! The busyness, the street entertainers, the modern buildings mingling with the old ones, the cafes, the restaurants - all blended for an amazing show for the eyes and senses!
There are shops and banks in very old but stylish buildings. From the outside no one would blame you if you thought those are museums or old libraries!
One main attraction that we completely loved is the Guinness Storehouse! Pure delight and entertainment! The Guinness shop is compelling, the restaurants very inviting and many to choose from, the story of making beer very insightful, the images of hops are very refreshing, the tasting room is more than tempting and the 360 degree view over the city room at the top of the Storehouse is the climax! We easily spent there a good few hours and if we weren't worn out by the crowds and all the excitement we could have easily spent there another day or two!
What more can I say about Dublin? The pubs and the Guinness can make your head spin...but leaving you wanting for more! ...Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling...oops...maybe I had one two many beers....but who could blame me? :)
