19.03 Dublin

I spent my day walking up and down Dublin: starting from Christ Church cathedral, the Castle (that seemed to me an unusual combination of medieval and modern – both in terms of colours and architecture), down Dame street til Trinity College, Merrion Square, back along the city quays to Temple Bar and - last but not least, St. Parick's Cathedral. Again, I avoided the map unless it was strictly necessary.
“My feet started aching again. Changing shoes was a good thing to do, but they probably need flip-flops rather than trainers. And less walking. I am resting them at the O’Donoghue's..” – I remember reading on the guide that this is one of the singing pubs of Dublin..not that I wanted to stop here, it just happened – “It is quite dark inside, low lights and heavy wooden stools. Along the walls, framed black and white pictures brings you to a time of simplicity and happiness made of no possessions. Behind the counter of one the Irish prides is showing off its shiny beauty: bottles of whiskey are lined up upside down, ready to entertain customers to their liking.”
Few people started gathering in the backroom. Half an hour later I could hear Irish music being played. A violin, a flute an accordion, a banjo and pints of Guinnes: no need for anything else.
