Dublin; Saturday, 18 August, 2001

As I landed in Dublin for my first ever tip by myself I found that it was going to be a "soft" day (i.e. pissing it down).

After catching the airport bus into town I visited the tourist information centre and booked myself onto a musical pub crawl for the evening. I then set about heading out of town to my hotel.

In the process I was passed by about 20 buses that I only later discovered stopped right outside the hotel and would have saved me an absolute soaking!

That evening I caught the bus back into town and went the the Temple Bar area to join the pub crawl.

A really fun evening involving several pints of Guinness 3 pubs and lots of music.

By the time I came out of the last pub the rain had stopped a warm breeze was blowing and the weather looked fare for the rest of the trip.
