Anyone for a pint of Guinness?




My Cousin Vinton was visiting from Australia last month so we decided we would take him to Dublin as we had been meaning to check it out.
Also Renee's cousin Kelly lives there so we wanted to catch up with here as well.
Dublin was great fun and had a relaxed and chilled out vibe.
We wandered around the cobbled lanes and went to the Dublin Castle and at night caught up with Kelly and her boyfriend Ken. The took us around to a few different pubs to sample some Guinness and here some Irish music which was cool.

The next day we visited a Jail that was a few hundred years old, It hasn't been used for prisoners since the 1920's but is used for TV and movies including "In the name of the Father".
A trip to Dublin would not have been complete without a trip to the Guinness Storehouse so we headed there for a tour and to sample the finest pint in Dublin. The top of the storehouse has a rooftop bar with great views over Dublin and the surroundings.
