Nollaig Shona from Dublin

We took the train to Manchester and flew across to Dublin on the 24th as the ferry we had booked from Holyhead was cancelled as the port is out of action due to storm damage.

The Liffey
Dublin airport was welcoming although the sentiment is perhaps questionable!
Ha’penny bridge looking pretty at night. We are staying in an apartment very close by.
I hope I get royalties from these chips.
I had to buy a packet, they were pretty good too.
This is the famous post office where the uprising’s leaders holed up in 1916. You can still see the bullet holes.
This is the Dublin portal to other cities. It reminded me of the Star Trek episode “The city on the edge of forever.” https://www.portals.org/portal/dublin
Naturally there’s a statue of James Joyce.
The apartment kindly hung a stocking on everyone’s doors this morning.

Its a bit odd being here on Christmas day just ourselves, the city is empty apart from the odd groups of tourists wandering about, but I’m glad we are here anyway. Merry Christmas to everyone from us both!
