Goodbye Dublin

Dublin is a very friendly city, easy to get around we would all recommend it for a visit.

Sightseeing Bus Tour of Dublin

Today we took the hop on hop off bus tour with a very informative guide around the sights of Dublin. 
The Temple Bar is not only a fantastic pub full of memorabilia, but an area of little cobbled streets full of old pubs, shops and restaurants.
