Visiting this Irish city proved easy with super cheap Ryanair flights from Standstead. In the 4 days there I soaked up enough sunlight hours reserved for the whole of December (according to Lonely Planet).
This well funky little city drew me in... Cornucopia on Wicklow St fed me wholefoods deluxe. Soups and pasta bakes, magnificent(I use that word without exaggeration) varieties of the freshest salads. The locals swarm the place and it lived up to its name.
Hoards of gold had my crow eyes glistening during my visit to the National Museum. Bog bodies laid to rest in rooms resembling Celtic tombs, showed a reverent preservation of history and culture. The vicious Vikings had their own display - I would love to take my year 7 class here on excursion. There's nothing like stories of blood and guts to hold my attention.
Walking amongst the Irish, I feel some sense of belonging with my pallor, freckles and hair.
you make me want to visit all the places you have been because of your vivid and interesting descriptions. Your "irish" colouring is beautiful!
