Dublin

Quick getaway to Dublin this weekend. Emma and I headed off bright and early on saturday morning from Gatwick, and within an hour we were exploring the cobbled streets of Irelands capital. We saw a ridiculous amount of sights considering we were only there for 24hours - dublin castle, trinity college, the guinness factory, throughout the old and new areas of the city. Had a great weekend away, and it came at the perfect time because the next few weeks of work are going to be hectic!!


Guinness factory


View from the Guinness factory - which I enjoyed more than the drink itself 

River Liffey that runs though the centre of Dublin

The Temple Bar - a big deal in Dublin

Haha

Christ Church
