just got back from a short break in Dublin - only 45 minutes in the air which makes the usual shenanigans of the airline's insistence of booking in 2 hours before departure even more ludicruous, especially as the no-expense-spent airline don't seem to bother to clear away the detritus of the previous flight anymore.my god, how i dislike flying - is it supposed to be the best way to travel? it has speed in its favour but little else.
Dublin is...a city. (This may come as no surprise to many of you). i come from a city and i left when i could so i'm slightly prejudiced against cities. As cities go, Dublin is all right - more like a dirty big town really - two days just about does it.
it has trams! - not many trams though but travelling on trams makes me wonder why all cities don't have them.
it has traffic! despite the (stereotypical) irish temperament, impatience is prevalent on Dublin roads - the horn being the expression of choice!
the best bits of Dublin is the food, drink and the diddle-dee-dee music, normally going on in the same establishment. (having said that, take my advice and avoid the guinness brewery tour. for one thing it's not a brewery tour, it's a tour of a museum - the brewery is next door! being no stranger to brewery tours, i was rather disappointed by this...)
