Dublin - We're thinking of becoming residents!

We had time on our hands, as the wind never seems to drop below 25 kts, usually from the South which is where we want to go!  Another trip to the City was the order of the day.

No visit to Dublin is complete with out a visit to Molly, looking well polished in places!

A small corner of Trinity College - a place for the wise, since 1592

Almost as splendid - City Hall, 1779

Customs House, 1791, complete with statue of Brittania on the domed roof - a relic of when She Ruled the Waves.

It's now a City of Bicycles - Boris would be proud of it!

And now for something modern - the Convention Centre

Dublin's oldest Shopping Centre - First traded in 1894 and still going ... but there are others

The very beautiful Stephen's Green Shopping Centre - Claim to Fame:  The Largest Indoor Clock in Europe!

The clearly Very Unsuccessful Docklands Shopping Centre - There's nobody to be seen

Grafton Street - so this is where all the people are

Still on Grafton Street, then on to the many Bridges over the Liffy

First the Old - The Ha'penny bridge, built as the first toll bridge to replace a ferry back in 1816, complete with 'Wise Words' on the risers

The Sean O'Casey bridge, 2005, certainly looked as if it replaced the one that had fallen down!!

The Super Modern Samuel Beckett Bridge

In stark contrast -

The Linesman

The Famine Statues

The Jeannie Johnstone Famine Ship (replica) - made 16 voyages to North America between 1848 and 1855 for those who were off to start a new life in the New World.

Enough of this Culture - back to Dun Laoghaire, to check on the weather forecast ...
