luisaionora in dublin

We took these two kissing cousins into town for a look around Dublin city with Luis and Saoia...

Travelling on the new tram: the Luas (meaning 'light' in Irish)


First stop St. Stephen's Green

On the bridge over the lake in Stephen's Green
Buggy buddies getting chauffeured around town!

Next stop: Grafton Street!
The new Phil Lynott statue (of Thin Lizzy fame) on Harry Street.

...past all the trendy shops...


... along Dame street...

... and on down to Temple Bar

Saioa on cobblestoned Crown Alley


Since it was such a fleeting visit, we were stuck for time. It was nice to take a leisurely stroll around though. Here's Luis walking by the Temple Bar pub.

Walking up in the drizzling rain towards Dublin Castle.

Time for a coffee break.

eeeeooo

By then night had fallen, so we crossed the Ha'penny Bridge and strolled along the hanging walkway and back over O'Connell Bridge, past the Central Bank, Trinity and Molly Malone to Grafton Street again, for a little last minute shopping :)

Lorcan was in great form!

...though a little iffy about staying in the buggy for so long!

Nora had a little nap and woke up thirsty!

The Christmas lights were still hanging on Grafton Street, reading: "Nollaig Shona Duit", Irish for Merry Christmas to you!
