dublin FINALLY!

---

so we finally made it to Dublin. it's bloody freezing here. it's actually snowing on us.

we went straight to the pub across the road from the hostel as soon as we got there. after the flight we so deserved it.

so went in the pub and the first person we meet is a guy from melbourne, crazy! him and his girlfriend were their for St Pat's as well and it turns out that they actually work in the hostel that we are staying at in London. so we went out for drinks with them...

next day we went for a little walk around to try and do some sight seeing. of course we got lost and ended up in the ghetto. we later found out that it is the oldest part of Dublin and is a viking district!

after that we needed a little pick me up so straight back to the pub across the road, which by now the publican knows our names and we are allowed to call it our local. everyone loves an auzzie!

then we decided to take on temple bar, it is a really pretty little place right on the River Liffe ( i hope i spelt that right, sorry to anyone if i didn't).

wasn't going to be big, but it turned out to be massive and we did't get back to the hostel untill daybreak the next morning, much to the disgust of the other people in our room.

so bring on St Pat's Day!
