Dublin 2 (2)

More of Day 2.

Temple Bar

The Temple Bar area is full of pubs and restaurants, and is where the locals generally steer clear of. Shrug!

Not a bad pub, this. They have managed to skirt the idiotic smoking laws by having a 'garden' that is entirely inside the pub. Top marks.
This pub has the same inside garden setup going but it's much smaller so 75% of the drinkers are really squashed in.
Ireland takes its 'Celtic Tiger' hi-tech economic status seriously. Here we see a government-sponsored public reading of the Microsoft Excel User Manual.
Aftermath:

An Irish coffee, Walnut Whip and Guinness tee shirt. Not a bad haul.
