Arrived in Dublin.

After a very quick flight from Manchester to Dublin, which only took us 30 minutes we had arrived, it wasn't the best weather but it wasn't raining so couldn't complain. After grabbing a bit to eat we headed to our hotel. Of course the day i had chosen to fly is the day of a big hurling match so we were greeted with traffic and road shut off that would of got us to our hotel so much quicker, so begrudgingly parting with €45 we were finally at our beautiful hotel. We were staying

at the Ashling Hotel, which was a stunning hotel, with amazing food. We were staying in a Deluxe King size Room, which was just perfect, we even had our own little balcony over looking the Guinness Factory, which we later visited. We were just around the corner from Phoenix Park which is the biggest park in Europe and has it's own zoo which of course we visited. 

We dropped our bags off and decided we would walk around a bit before we could properly check in, no more than a two minute walk we spotted a museum, at first I was not very enthusiastic about going, but when we were there and finding out there was a whole section on the war history made it a whole lot better, both me and John (my boyfriend) find history on war fascinated so it was a perfect unexpected visit. 
Part of the museum is actually in a old army barracks called Collins Barracks.

It was just my luck that I had left my camera  back at the hotel not expecting to be in such an interesting place. 

After are little trip out we headed back to the hotel to go and jump on our ridiculously big bed and have a little rest, before heading down to the hotel restaurant where we had the most delicious meal, both having steak which was the best steak i had ever eaten with a lovely crème brûlée.
