After driving around the countryside of the west coast of Ireland, we headed to the city to end our trip in Dublin. It was a long weekend so there were loads of people out and about.
The Temple Bar area on the south side of the river is wall to wall pubs along cobblestone streets. Plenty of people was getting rowdy, spilling out onto the streets having a great old time.
Nearby is Trinity College which was like an oasis in the middle of the bustling city. It's a university campus with lots of gardens and grand buildings.
We needed a break from walking around so we headed to a pub for a few pints to re-energise. Kate has developed a bit of a taste for beer since we've been in Europe, but she still couldn't bring herself to order a Guinness, so she stuck to cider instead.
Our hotel was conveniently located above a pub, so we had yet another great traditional Irish feed and a few pints of Guinness for dinner.
We really liked Ireland and would definitely recommend a a driving holiday on the west coast. Hopefully we will be able to come back again one day.
