10 Reasons Why you should NOT visit Dublin
Written by Lynne Embling

Dublin, according to the Lonely Planet is a “small capital with a huge reputation”
– and having decided to have a look for myself, I would certainly not recommend you visit because:
-
Dubliners are too friendly, always offering to help with hilarious anecdotes
-
The surrounding countryside is too beautiful, particularly around Wicklow – even when it’s raining!
-
The steak at FX Buxley is only the best traditional Irish steakhouse
-
The hop-on hop-off tour bus drivers make you laugh
-
– and they sing and recite local poetry whilst driving through the very busy streets
-
The Guinness Storehouse offer you a free, yes FREE, pint of Guinness
-
You get lovely views of the Liffey from the Halfpenny Bridge
-
Your feet are bound to tap when you stroll around Temple Bar, listening to the lilting Irish tunes or the new, still-to-be-discovered groups busking.
-
There are too many stunning golf courses to play
-
Finally, don’t visit Dublin if you want to feel miserable – it’s just not worth the hassle!
And, when I asked if we wanted single or return tickets to Dublin, the ticket master replied “Returns? to be sure, I’m please yer coming back!” – and we will!
