LAST NIGHT IN DUBLIN

Last night in Dublin, Ireland..


Day 126


After going to Dublin Castle and the National Library where there was an exhibition on WB Yeats (by the way the B stands for Butler and he is a Kilkenny boy so is there any relation...? And to Jilly? Something to ponder eh?) we decided to go to the Natural history museum..to see the BOG MAN but apparently the stairs crumbled and fell down and 13 people were injured! So it was closed!

So what to do? We had a pot of tea. How civilised hey...well, talking of tea, we're INTO teas.......................and love our silver pots of tea! AND i have to tell you..in England it's 'english breakfast tea' and in IReland it's 'Irish Breakfast Tea'!!! I wonder if it's Welsh tea in Wales! ANd talking of that...same with the 'full breakfasts'..in England it's the English full breakfast...in Scotland it's the full Scottish breakfast etc..so funny.

Anyway, where were we?

Oh ok..what we did on our last Irish day...

We went to the Arlington after our day of sightseeing...

And what a night!

If anyone is in Dublin...this is the place to go. We prebooked our table so we could see the traditional riverdancing show and music which is free. The charge is the dinner but you don't have to order the whole menu...as we didn't. We had the main..and enjoyed the show and it was brilliant!

The band were the Rafferty Boys..and not only did they play traditional irish music..they played a whole lot of oldies too..so we were jigging and jiving..it was wonderful!!!

Honestly....more time was definatly needed in Ireland...and especially because it would have been great to catch up with Annie's friend Pippa. To tell you the truth. It's actually hard to work out what to arrange! It's weird catching up with people we don't know and yet they know the people we do know so well!

In hindsite...we could have met her at the Arlington! I think she would have loved the show and it would have been a great night for all. That would have been perfect.

Later. We had our irish coffees and thought of Dublin in our dreams....
