Mum was aptly described at the Rally Reception as the Duracell Bunny’s twin & she has been living up to her name. For this blog we thought we’d share primarily a photo blog with links where we can to all the places mum has visited & activities she’s done. Some of activities don’t ave direct websites but mum uses Viator & Get Your Guide apps to find & book them.
Stroll into town passing Sweny’s (Famous in James Joyce’s Ulysses) & Merrion Square with Oscar Wilde Statue for the Viking Splash Tour
Dinner in The Hairy Lemon famous from The Commitments film followed by theatre production of Shawshank Redemption at The Gaiety Theatre
River Liffey Boat Tour passing the French Navy!!
Jeanie Johnston Tour – one of the famine ships. Miraculously everyone survived on this ship.
Mum was helping bring one of the grand Canal boats in before disaster struck & one of the locks broke meaning all the other boats coming in from the Grand Canal were effectively stuck!
Trip on the DART along the coast then walk from Sandycove to Dalkey via Forty Foot & a few fabulous swimming areas
Dinner at the very posh Indian restaurant Rasam that Nigella Lawson likes!
Then the true Duracell bunny came out as mum went kayaking with seals
Lunch at Gallaghers Boxty House followed by a Street Art Tour of Dublin
Trip on the Old Liffey Ferry out through Dublin Port to Poolbeg Power station & we even saw a rainbow
Rooftop Cocktails at Marker Hotel
Wheely Boat – open access trip boat by Blackwater Community Barge
Phizzfest – Music onboard Jennys boat & a fascinating walk & tour of the history of the Royal canal
Rally BBQ at Poolbeg Yacht Club
Brunch at Brewdog with views of Grand Canal Dock & the River Liffey
Night time lights at Charlotte Quay – amazing being moored in Dublin city
So as you can see mum has been very busy. We’ve had a few play dates too in our special off lead park.
We’re now half way through our time in Dublin & mum still has plenty planned.
The good news though is… remember the boats that were stuck…. well Waterways Ireland moved heaven & earth & got the lock fixed so they’re now on their way & should be with us tomorrow hurray!!!
