Dublin
Just back from a pretty cool trip to Dublin. Bit gutted I missed the second FitzGerald 40th installment in Gizzie...hope you'll all be around for mine in 14 years time and counting! Check out the link below, I am the master brewer! Damn the Guinness tastes really good over there, maybe not different, but better. They use so much water from the local river it has got to be bad, but they have a 9,000 year lease!
Didn't get as much drinking done in Dublin as I had planned to, as have been suffering from some bug since our party last weekend. Average. Still...I gave it a good go! Found some really cool old Dublin pubs, the Stags Head, McDaids etc...the list goes on. Scotland were playing Ireland at the time so the atmosphere around town was electric with the anticipation of a good ol' Celtic clash, kilts and the Famous Grouse everywhere. I really wanted to go but tickets were ludicrously expensive, so maybe thought I should save it for some NZ game.
Saw the giant knitting needle. Check. Went to the Irish Literary museum, where the most famous guy is James Joyce who is famous because he reinvented the way writing was done, totally ignored the bounds of accepted prose. Basically just fucked with the language. Classic Irish fame. Didn't see the Pogues. Didn't see any four leaf clovers. No Irish dancing. Next time...
