jameson's and rugby

we had every intention of starting gently today... honest... so we take a stroll from our hotel along the banks of the liffey towards town. on the way we decide to do the jameson's whiskey tour. sadly the tour is not open at the moment... but the shop/bar/info centre is... and by way of saying sorry that the tour is not open.. they give you a free drink! excellent! so we sat down and enjoyed a whiskey and ginger (simon) and a whiskey and cranberry juice (alison). after watching the information movie and checking out the shop they ncie lady behind the bar asked us if we wanted another one... well you can;t say no really can you.

so after warming up in jameson's we head further into town and find somewhere to watch the game. we found a fab bar in an old coverted church. they had good food, a big screen, and somewhere to sit... so this was our home for the next few hours.

the scotland vs italy was a great warm-up... but the atmosphere for the ireland vs england match was electric. we had already decide to support ireland - they deserve to win the 6 nations - so with all our new friends we cheered them on. what a game! what a result.

some shocking service in pizza express meant we had a free meal to finish the day off as well.
