dublin

June found us in Dublin for a few days.

We checked out The Temple Bar for a late night of raucous singing and beer.



The next day we headed down to The Point.

Dublin Docklands was being regenerated until the recession hit hard. The promised 'Point Village' hasn't happened yet. Several large buildings stand empty. The only place we could find to get a cup of tea (it was raining and quite cold) was a business hotel, which seemed pretty empty.

But we took a ride on the Dublin Wheel



and enjoyed the views





Walking back into town, this caught my eye



Off to France tomorrow ....
