One of my favorit lunch spots in Dún Laoghaire, just outside Dublin, where we usually stay when we are that side of Ireland, is just next to the hotel we stayed at. I have a few other posts about the hotel, so I won’t do another this time, but I really recomend it and you… Continue reading Easter in Ireland 2025: The Vanilla Pod Eatery

Dublin
When I was in Dun Laohaire I took the DART , a local train, in to the city center of Dublin to do some shopping. I mostly shopped and enjoyed some food and drink and did not do much sightseeing. I have done more of that earlier an if you are interested I have added… Continue reading Dublin
Flying to Ireland
I booked the trip to Ireland well in advance and got quite a good price on them. I was going out in the middle of the day on the Friday and coming back late Saturday after. The best option for tickets was with KLM this time around. Sadly there are no direct flights from Stavanger… Continue reading Flying to Ireland
Dublin in winter
After we visited Galway we brought my mother to Dublin and got to be “first time tourists” with her.

Easter in Ireland 2016 Part 3: Dublin’s Fair City
Today I went for a stroll around Dublin and enjoyed some sunshine and lovely weather. Walking past the statue of Molly Malone made me think of my old school days when we used to sing about her. There was many people out and quite a few tourist that was probably there for the 1916 centennial.… Continue reading Easter in Ireland 2016 Part 3: Dublin’s Fair City
Easter in Ireland 2016 Part 1
I made it to Ireland. Even if my flight from Stavanger was late and only sheer luck and nice air hosteses helped me catch my connecting flight in London. My bag wasn’t as lucky as me and did not make the flight. We stayed at a lovely hotel in Dublin Airport that we usually use… Continue reading Easter in Ireland 2016 Part 1
