Busking in Temple Bar, Dublin, Ireland - 12th August 2019
We head off up to Dublin so that Fred can do a bit of busking, but first we stop by an exhibition near Pearse Station. Sadly it's closed on Mondays, so then we try to visit the Book of Kells, but the queue's a mile long. However, we do get to (possibly) be in a TV version of the book "Normal People", which is being filmed in the grounds of Trinity College. Then, Isobel takes us to her favourite Pizza place, but it's shut down, after which we end up at a bar in Temple Bar which isn't what it used to be. There's also a trip to Walton's Music, but that's moved out of town. So it's all a run of bad luck, but in between we do get to visit the Molly Malone statue, although it's already got its allocation of buskers so Fred can't busk his Molly Malone tune on the flute. However, he does get to do it in Temple Bar, and even gets a couple of Euro and a round of applause.
