The Liffey - Dublin
The Liffey

**** UNDER CONSTRUCTION ****

I have just returned from a 5 day break visiting family and friends, during this trip I decided that I was going to be a "tourist"! and so have taken loads of pics of my favourite places in Dublin!
As soon as they are developed they will be on here!!
It will prob be a longish proccess as I have 5 years of experience to share here!
So please bear with me.

Dublin is my second home, I lived here for 2 years, and my husband was born and lived here for 26 years! so we are always back and forth visiting friends and family.

I think that when you live somewhere, sometimes you take it for granted, and my perspective of Dublin as home would be completley different from a tourists perspective.
I certainly diddnt see and do as much of the attractions as I could have living here, and so I dont have tons of photographs to show you, but I have millions of memories of the wonderful times I had here.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:People, Nighlife, Shopping,

    Great Dublin page..seems like it was a cloudy day when you were there... I was there in December so it was drizzling often. Nevertheless, its a lovely town!
