Dublin: 6/5

We got up this morning feeling amazing. It's astonishing what some sleep will do for you. We also successfully beat jetlag, which is VERY good. AfTer our free hostel breakfast we left to walk around town. We saw St Patricks Church and Park, Christ's church also. Beautiful semi-gothic churches. After that we walked along the boardwalk of the Liffey, then went back to the hostel for leftover dinner/lunch. After lunch we walked to the Guinness factory, paid our 14€, and wandered around the factory. had our 'complimentary' beer, with gorgeous 360 degree view, then went to the downstairs bar. Asked that bartender about the Foreign Extra Guinness, so he gave us a free one and we talked for a while. He was verrry nice. Apparently that beer is only sold in South Africa!

My feet hurt a lot, but otherwise I'm not too torn up from all the walking, just need to stretch a lot. Either going to the Jameson Distillery or Belfast or Cork tomorrow, not sure.

Churches and beer... sounds like a rather tradition Irish combination to me!

The pictures were nice. The angle on a number of the shots at the churches makes the proportions pretty crazy to look at. Either that church is very small... or you guys have grown a little... ;)
