Dublin, Ireland

How: airline AER LINGUS.
Where: at friends house

From hot Prague i landed in Dublin where greeted whether like in October. It was so freezing. I took only my summer clothes!!! One pair of jeans and one sweeter as well and those were all the time on me. It was all the time sunny but chilly, little bit rain only during two days, rest was nice and dry.
I managed to visit many sights in Dublin (Trinity College area - founded 1592, Saint Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin castle, O'Connell Bridge, Temple Bar area), nature and sea side.
I was even taken for Irish football tournament and supported team called Ath Cliath. During this trip was important also to see World Cup 2006 (in pubs).
Pubs are also cool. One pub was special - it had walls full of money from all over the world. On money was person name and time when they were there. I saw some Estonian crowns as well. Cool idea and well done.
By accident we got to see one open air concert with Irish songs in Irish language. Those women were singing so nicely that it was for me like being bewitched.
Dublin has many many sculptures and statues starting from people to rabbits. PHOENIX Park in Dublin covers 1800 acres. It is the largest city park in the world.
