The volcano ash didn't get us but the Guinness did! MMMM MMMM Good. Check out the photo of the pint of Guinness. Isn't that the most "perfect" head?
We landed in sunny Ireland early this morning with a fast, hard landing. Even the stewardess was shocked and commented that she must have words with the pilot. In spite of the landing we arrived safe and sound. The weather is warm, sunny and dry. Beautiful! The "Babes" Irish Eyes are smiling. The 10 day weather forecast is sunny, unseasonably warm and dry.
Our first stop was the Guinness Store House for a tour of where they brew delicious dark Guinness stout. They will continue brewing this great ale as there is a lease for 9000 years. In the store house you can see the original lease signed by Arthur Guinness in 1759 and it is surrounded by "the worlds largest pint glass of Guinness". The bar tenders drew the ale expertly creating a pint with the perfect head.
A quick sip of the tasty stout and we were on our way to check into the Royal Marine hotel in Dun Loaghaire, a quaint village situated along side of the Irish sea. This afternoon we took a stroll along the pier to visit the light house and watch the sail boats in the harbour. Dun Laoghaire is where you catch a ferry to Whales.
This evening's dinner was fit for a queen. Exceptional service, delicious food and smooth wines. Off to bed early as tommorrow morning we are off to Dublin to view the sites. More details to follow.
