    Thank you so much for this nostalgic day in Dublin. I was fortunate to travel to Dublin in 2007 with my son, daughter, and future son-in-law. We also got to experience the Jameson brewery. I have wonderful pictures of my son all around the city at many of the same sites you saw. Unfortunately he passed in 2010 but these memories were some of the best times together.

    Hello from Ireland, really interested to see your vlog on my home city. I used to work in Dun Laoghaire so I know it well. It is Dublin, just not Dublin city centre, its a suburb and postal addresses have Co Dublin (County Dublin)
    First off though, the only people who say Top of The Morning are American tourists, Irish people dont say that, sorry :)
    The train you took is called The DART - Dublin Area Rapid Transport and its a commuter train linking South County Dublin and North County Dublin with Dublin City Centre.
    Its not normally that crowded, you just ended up having your port day on the worst day possible due to the Womans Mini Marathon event. This event is on once a year , on the first Sunday of June. I know that was out of your control, but if you had chosen not to go into Dublin City Centre you would have had a much nicer day. The area you got off the train at Pearse St and Merrion Square is the main area for the event, as you saw. If you had known about the event you could have checked the route online and avoided that area.
    You should have gone into Starbucks, as both the coffee menu and food items are different. Its a mistake many Americans make, not going into the chains like McDonalds, Starbucks etc as all the international ones outside America have a local menu, so even though its the same type of food, you get things that are not available in America.
    The Molly Malone statue is one of the most popular busking / street entertainment spots due to all the tourists. The song about her is Dublins unofficial anthem and while Molly Malone is not a real person, the song is based on the lives of poor Dublin women of the 17th century.
    So glad you did the Jamison Tour and not the stereotypical Guinness tour.
    I feel so sorry for you, trying to see my city with the crowds of the Marathon event, I am impressed by how much you got around though and using the Luas.

      Lol, maybe don't recommend multinational chain stores to people travelling abroad? Fine if they choose to go there themselves, but you're doing a mad disservice to independent Irish businesses. I'm glad they didn't go in.

  • @Melissa-vp2wz
    @Melissa-vp2wz Před rokem +1

    I’ve been deliberating for ages about how to communicate the pronunciation of Keogh. So it’s one single syllable, not two, and imagine “Coe” (like Sebastian Coe), or “Koh”, but with a short guttural “y” after the “c” sound - kyoe. Not kuh-yoe or keh-yoe - all one fluid sound, kyoe!!!
    I went to Trinity and the Buttery was our student canteen - fed me for many years, but not somewhere I’d recommend. 😂😂 So glad you had lovely weather, but sorry you encountered the Women’s Mini Marathon! I’d like to do the Jameson Distillery myself!
    (Oh and bravo on the Dún Laoghaire pronunciation!! 👏🏻)

    We had the pleasure of touring the Guiness and Jameson venues in January 2020. Guiness was very much a "theme park" vibe and was not really worth the price. However, the tour finishes at the very top with AMAZING views of Dublin; it is rather crowded up there though. The Jameson tour was AWESOME! Leave extra time and spending cash for some stellar Jameson cocktails in the lobby bar; spring for the private whiskey tasting; there was only one other couple in our tasting and you can take your photos at Old Man Jameson's desk. He convenient had a tap behind his desk to serve guests! Also, do purchase a bottle of the Distillery Edition Jameson. They will customize a label and inside that wonderful bottle is utterly sublime whiskey. It is only for sale there and is worth the hassle of toting it home!!!

    I’m really enjoying your videos. We’re going on the regal at the end of August and looking forward to it very much. The sound quality on your videos is great. What kind of microphone do you use? Also, we don’t hear a ton of background noise that drowns out speech. Great job. I also like that you do a review of the food that you eat. I haven’t watched all the videos yet, but was just wondering if you ever eat at the buffet. When we were on the Royal last year to Alaska, we were not overly impressed with the food at either the restaurants or the buffet. We did love the international café, though. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
