Dublin

 September 5th

Today the weather really wasn’t any better.  Our group of 10 got 2 taxis to the Guinness Storehouse. We had reserved a private tour and added “Pour a Perfect Pint”. 

 The tour started with an overview of the history of Guinness and the brewing process. Our guide, Kevin, was very cute and informative. The first thing was saw was the original lease that Arthur Guinness signed on the St. James’s Gate Brewery for a period of 9,000 years.

   

We then went on to sample different Guinness brews and learned how to pour that perfect pint!!!

 

By the time we were through, we had drank 2 pints (Charlie had 3) and several samples….needless to say, we all seemed quite happy.

 

We hopped on the HOHO bus and rode around Dublin.  Needed to make a few stops to relieve ourselves of the 2/3 pints……the weather had not improved so we headed back to the ship…tired, damp but happy!!!!
