A lovely Irish breakfast and we were fuelled up for a day of shopping and sightseeing. We spent the morning at Trinity College then walking around the shopping district buying heaps of stuff! Luckily we both had our credit cards! he he he (Just joking). I bought 2 pairs of shoes, same ones, different colours and a couple 
of tops. It was great fun, then we headed over to the Guinness factory in the afternoon. Its a great tour although how much can you really say about Guinness until it gets boring? As it turns out quite alot. After walking around & up 6 floors of fascinating info we got to the restaurant for lunch/dinner. It was amazing, Naomi had seafood chowder & I had pan seared salmon. So tasty and great prices. We even splurged on dessert, an apple & berry tart with cream for me & chocolate brownie for Naomi. After we were totally stuffed it was up to the 7th flo
or which is a glass surrounded bar. It has amazing views of the city and on a nice sunny afternoon I can imagine how impressive it would be. We went to the bar and got our free pint of Guinness and managed to wangle some seats by the window. Well I've tried it in England and it still tastes awful! I did manage to drink enough so that the foam went below the rim of the glass. Naomi managed to finish hers!

It was back to the hotel for a rest then we got ready and hit the Temple Bar area of Dublin. We 
came upon the actual pub called Temple Bar Pub and decided we might as well be full on tourist's and went inside. It was fantastic, cheesey music & they had cider for me. We made some friends with 3 Canadian girls (Nadia, Indeara & Emily) so had a great laugh. A couple of Irish lads decided to join us (they were
hammered) and it was so funny trying to understand them. Luckily their friends turned up, and they were semi sober so it was easier. We all headed out to a local dance club where we stayed until 2ish when we decided to head back. It was great fun but I was ready to sleep!

Sunday we were up and out by 11ish and we headed over to Dublin castle for a look, then we wandered around the area soaking up the atmosphere. Soon enough it was time to head back to the hotel for the journey back to London. At the airport Naomi got talking to a pilot and we hoped he might be ours so we could get VIP treatment but alas he worked for another company. We managed to get home in one piece, although Naomi did loose her wallet. It always makes me laugh to see the English queue. They hadn't even announced our flight and one person stood up to queue and then it was a mad dash to get in line. They must have stood there for 20mins before they even started to let anyone through.
