Going backwards in our journey, we now land in Dublin, the capital of Ireland. It was a cold day and we decided to walk to the city from the port. Big mistake! 6 miles later or so, we took the Luas, the tramway to the downtown area. It is true what they say of Dubliners. Friendly people who are willing to help you find your destination. Dublin is famous for poets, Georgian architecture, landscaped parks, and Guinness beer. Belfast was a quick back-to- back trip before Dublin!
The folks here in Ireland are genuinely friendly which is refreshing for a big city that’s had its share of conflict. It all started 1000 years ago when the Vikings came to town. Life was quiet after the Danes invaded and then in the 18th century, the medieval seaport flourished into a sophisticated city. During the Irish War of Independence, it became once again the center of rebellion. Today, it is jam-packed with museums, art galleries, and historic landmarks; but our day-stay did not allow us to visit all. That’s okay, it just means I will have to return one day soon!
