how about howth?

Starting point: Dalkey DART station: Catching the train to Howth!

On the DART.

And, um, on Dublin Bus too, because on that bank holiday Monday we chose to go to Howth, the DART line just happened to be cut off for repairs :(

So... one bus and two trains later...

We got to the Peninsula of Howth Head!



Howth is a beautiful fishing village with lots of fish, shellfish and seafood shops and restaurants.

Mmm... we were spoiled for choice.


And, even though it was a bank holiday, the shops were open... and busy.


Then we went for a walk around the harbour...




and met this funny little dog (with the most human of facial expressions!)
the end of the pier


"ship ahoy!"




???¿¿!!

If you look closely here, you'll see one of the local seals peeping up at you!


"Which one is which, Daddy?"




eating fish and chips!!



and playing with the locals in the playground on the seafront



heading home...



through the city, to the other side... good night.
