To be sure, to be sure

Thea and I have booked some flights to go to Dublin in two weeks. We leave on Friday 18 April and get back the following Sunday evening. We are going with our flatmates Sasha and Jean, and a couple of their friends.

I haven't started looking into what's in Dublin, so I'm not sure what we'll be doing. Maybe just looking around. The Guinness factor is there, so I'm sure we'll take a tour (hopefully with some samples...).

For those that have been before, or know anything about it, what's the go? There are leprechauns in Dublin, yeah? With pots of gold at the bottom of rainbows?

I went when I was pretty young, so don't remember much, but I do remember going to this awesome castle in tiperrary(?) called 'Cahir Castle'.

Don't know how close it is to dublin though, but you can walk right through the whole castle, and it's huge!

I've heard it's a long way to Tipperary...

Umm, no it's not. The sweetest girl I know is currently living in Wimbledon, ironically close to Piccadilly and Leicester Square.

Don't forget to kiss the Blarney Stone while U are there.

Cahir Castle is still vivid in my memory too!

Actually in Dublin - Trinity College has The Book of Kells on display - awesome.
See if you can find Molly Malone on Grafton St :) Grafton St is the main street I think.
St Patricks Cathedral is quite stunning, as is Christchurch Cathedral and Dublin Castle is interesting.
Pretty sure I went on a Guinness tour.
The River Liffey with the Ha'penny Bridge with picturesque at sunset (at least in October 98 it was)

please replace the 'with' on the 2nd last line with 'is'
