Dublin
Cobblestones, that is my memory of Dublin! No, Dublin is a wonderful vibrant city, with an amazing history and she wants to share it with you. From the whisky, found everywhere to the very moving Famine Memorial, there is something for everyone, even a zoo, to take the littlies.
I took the train from Galway across to Dublin and loved watching the countryside, so green slip past my window, except when it was raining!
Dublin is the queen of one-way streets, so going anywhere in any transport, is interesting. Walking is recommended. Yes, cobblestones and all.
Things to do, The Book of Kells, in Trinity College, is amazing. An ancient manuscript of the the four Gospels, the workmanship is beautiful.
Christchurch Cathedral, this is both the main church for the Church of Ireland and the Roman Catholic Church. A beautiful building, with vaults underneath.
EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum. This tells the Irish Story, from earliest times, until today. I found it very moving.
Dublin Castle, this is still in use, today, as the Irish Prime Minister is sworn in in the main room. The gardens are also lovely to wander around.
These are just some of the things I did, including the full loop of one of the hop-on, hop-off buses.
And then you can always go here, I did and it was very interesting.

This is in one of the rooms, taking about leaving.
This is the Famine Memorial, not far from EPIC.
