Ireland in 2 Days - Dublin Edition

From Cornwall we made our way to Ireland, and stayed in lovely Dublin.  Unfortunately, we didn't give ourselves much time there and only had 2 full days to explore. 

I'll let the pictures do the talking for this entry. But let me tell you, it includes one of my favourite veggie burgers.






This beauty can be had at any Gourmet Burger Kitchen throughout the UK.









After a fair amount of sightseeing, it started raining (it is Ireland after all) and so we started our own little pub crawl.  Chewy made me try Guiness, which I wasn't a fan of, but good thing the Irish are also fans of cider.  We met some lovely people in the pubs, and had a raging good time with all the music and singing and dancing that was going on.  Happy days!

Frolicking Through the Fields of Zennor, Cornwall

First things first - apologies for the complete lack of posts recently, I've just been incredibly busy and haven't had a moment to post anything unfortunately.

But anyway, I can't finish my posts about Cornwall without mentioning the adorable village we stayed in.  Zennor is a teeny tiny dot on the map, but it's one of my favourite places on earth now.  Home to the Tinners Arms pub, our hostel (more on that later), and a handful of houses, there isn't much, but it is exactly that which makes it so lovely.





We stealth walked around the fields in hope of not disturbing all the rabbits, and it took many attempts to get a photo of one!


Now onto our hostel...again, one of my favourites.  It's called Zennor Backpackers and can be found in this converted chapel, which is also home to a cafe on the ground floor.  Our room had a perfect, unrestricted view of the cliffs, it was simply stunning.















After spending a long time playing with the calves, you can have some delicious food and plenty of drinks at the Tinners Arms.  It's one of the oldest pubs in the world, and really cosy and perfect for some drinks, and also has plenty of vegetarian options thankfully.
