DUB//Saturday August 5 First off, happy 7 years babe!! 💖 This morning we started our day with a danish and coffee because that’s what happens in Europe. Haha then we were headed for the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin. I have to say, because our Jameson distillery experience was so great in Middleton we probably had warped expectations. But the two do not compare. I recommend getting a skip the line ticket ahead of time online through viator, we walked right in, and the line of people just showing up and buying tickets was lengthy. Ok, so I get if you need to come here-bc we did. But if you go to Jameson first you will be disappointed. The tour is a self guided walk through a bunch of high level facts on Guinness. Then you end with a free pint or 3 smaller tastings in the tasting room. If you make it to the tasting room half past the hour you will get to see some traditional Irish dancing and partake in a few more beer tastings specific to Ireland and or Dublin. There is a gravity baron the top floor you can access for free and you can see panoramic views of Dublin. That was cool, but I cant say this was super enjoyable compared to our other experiences. From there we went to St. Patrick’s cathedral which was breathtaking. They do a fantastic job at clearly explaining the history and importance of what you are looking at, and it is just a beautiful church. They sell souvenirs inside which I thought was weird. Next we ended the night with a great dinner at The Cellar bar with my former boss Rachel who came for the wedding as well. We had oysters which were my favorite part of the meal! I also had a great Irish burger because I can’t get enough. Haha It was lovely too see her and spend the time visiting though! From there we headed back to our hotel because we had an early flight to Paris, France. The am. Yaaassssssss 🇫🇷 Irish reflections: Driving on the opposite side of the road is challenging….stressful…scary, BUT my favorite parts of our time there were only possible because we had a car. I will say you need An amazing co pilot here bc directions are not very clear even with navigation. Some roads don’t have signage at all….literally. Haha Again, challenging but doable if you can put clues together between the maps and written directions. Think about it when planning. Dublin is cool, but if you real,y want to experience this country and not have 14 hour tours with buses of people thinker getting a car. I got used to driving around day 3.
