Ireland - Escaping the cold with irish whiskey
Arrived in Dublin around 11.30pm this friday evening and not looking much left not much right, but only wanted to get a shower and sleep... damn.. sounds like an old grandfather…haha!! Nah, I was not in the mood to explore anything and also it was cold and windy!

Today I went for breakfast into MCD and then jumped on the hoponhopoff bus, where I probably sat for an hour and just watched outside the window into the windy february saturday! Then I went off and roamed around in the normal sven-exploration-mode. Thankfully it was sunny and blue sky, but even with that it was so super cold and freezing windy! In the afternoon I had to go to a restroom and pour warm water over my hands for about 5-10 minutes…haha.. true!
This is how the time went over, roaming around, making a few pics. But compared to other capitals, here are just a few impressive things. However, its nice to walk along the streets full of pubs and shops and see the typical irish buildings with its big advertisements of beers and pubs :)
