Dublin, Ireland revisited...

Hey, so this post is all about my last day at Dublin, Ireland - 28th Feb - Tuesday.

So, as stated in the previous post on Dublin, Ireland, I couldn't sleep, or you can say that I woke up early.

I hopped onto the hop-on, hop-off city bus tour. I took a bunch of pictures or cathedrals, churches, old architectures, and all. After about 30 minutes of bus ride, I arrived at the most visited tourist spot in Dublin, Ireland. The St. James's Gate Brewery, home to the world famous GUINNESS(R).St. Patrick's Cathedral
Trinity College
Some random shots.

The St. James's Gate Brewery
Water is an important ingredient... And I look 'funny' in this picture.
Testing the taste at the taste-testing lab.
I was also "selected" to launch a batch of brew. Not really selected, I waited.
Me filling in some personal information. So, brew 4083 is MINE. Well, I wished, it's launched by me.
Launching the brew!
There we go, it's in the Mash-Vessel. The very first stage.
Malaysia is the home of one of Guinness breweries in the world.
Me leaving a note at the brewery. Click on it, and you should be able to read the entire note.
Enjoying my Guinness at the Gravity bar. Great 360 degrees view of Dublin.
The complimentary pint, the perfect PINT. Look at the head! Also, the BEFORE pic.
The AFTER pic.
Also, this is the admission ticket for the tour. It's a paper-weight, and it contains one drop of Guinness.

That concludes the Guinness Tour.

On the way back from the tour, the 2 chimneys, that's the Guinness brewery.
Just thought that it's interesting. I think it's the millennium bridge or something. Sorry for the blurry spots, it was raining.

O'Connell street.
Me, in front of Barnacles. the hostel.
in front of THE Temple Bar
In front of the convenience store that we got food at 3.00+am after our first night out.
Sorry for the lines. Me, over River Liffey. That's the temple bar side behind me. It was really windy. And, damn, I looked like a bunny.
Told you it was windy, look at the straps of my backpack.
More bunny look.

That's about it, I had an OK Italian lunch, before catching the bus to the airport, where I will later fly to Manchester.

Check back soon for more.
