When Irish Eyes Are Smiling

So The Boyf and I were in Ireland this weekend! We stayed in a lovely hotel called The Burlington which was about a 10-15 minute walk from the city centre. We landed at Dublin Airport at the same time as the French rugby team, so I took a happy snap with Chabal! He's so mean looking!

We had a really great time, Dublin is a great city, lots of fun! The only downside was the cost of everything! When friends told me that Dublin was expensive, I didn't think it could be THAT expensive! But other than that, good times!

We bought tickets for the hop on hop off bus which was great because it's the easiest way to see the city and learn your way around. I think I'll be doing a hop on hop off bus tour for every new city I visit.

We went to the Guiness Storehouse which was really good, during the tour you get a half pint half way through and then a full pint at the end which you can drink in the Gravity Bar, the highest bar in Dublin with great views of the city.

Over the weekend, I gained a new respect for rugby and beer! The Boyf explained a whole lot to me while we were watching the Six Nations England vs Italy game. I think I might just get into the whole rugby thing!

For Valentine's Day, we went to a church which is the burial place of St. Valentine, and we had a meal in the Temple Bar area. Can you tell I was feeling the love? It was a lovely day. xx
