Finally, here we are, on the other side of the "pond". Overcasted sky but no snow whatsoever - Irish winter is wonderful. From the airport we head for the city centre straightaway. We get first impressions of Dublin on our walking tour:O'Connel Street with its Spire,numerous monuments, colorful crowd from every corner of the world. Crossing the Liffey over Ha'penny Bridge to enter the entertainment area of Dublin: Temple Bar - a meddley of colorful pubs and restaurants. Then we move to Grafton Street to have some lunch and chill out a bit. Afternoon we're back on the bus headind for our hotel. We hope to sleep hard as it's been a long day.
