The walking tour of The Liberties starts at Stephen's Green Hotel, which is a bad idea because, as we all know, hotels have bars in them. My friends and I thought we'd have one for the road before the walk started. Somehow we managed to have three for the road. Before we had time to order coffee, it was time to go on tour. Whilst walking zig-zag down aforementioned road, we did manage to actually take in what our friendly (and patient) tour guide told the group about the various crowded streets and petite parks. The tour ended at the Guinness Brewery, which was appropriate since I smelt like a brewery. Just as well walking tours are outside activities as opposed to confined space activities! read more
