Before we go back to our rooms, pack our suitcases and head out to Atlanta and Dallas respectively!

We went to the highest pub, the birthplace of the most popular Irish beer in the world and then we topped it off with the oldest bar in Ireland. Called Brazen Head, this was established in the 12th century.

Note that later, when I was doing the research, I found that there is a Sean’s Bar in Athlone (we went past it yesterday to Galway) that claims to be the oldest pub and that goes back to 900 AD!

… without a trip to the birthplace of the Irish’s biggest contribution to the world – Guinness Beer!

This memorial is dedicated to those that were affected by the Potato Famine in Ireland. There are 7 people here and the same sculptor – Rowan Gillespie – has a sculpture called “Migrants” in Toronto, Canada. Only 5 people are there representing the rough ratio of people that perished in their real journeys 150 years back.

This modern day restaurant boat is a replica of the original boat that were used by desperate Irish folks trying to escape the Potato famine. Many perished on the way and were thrown overboard. Hence the nickname Coffin Boat.

This is one of the 24 bridges in Dublin over River Liffey. This is shaped like a harp which is the national symbol of Ireland. Making it the only country whose national symbol is a musical instrument.

A building in the shape of a beer mug. Apparently at the perfect angle for beer to be poured!
