A Trip to Noddy's, and Dublin City Centre, Wicklow and Dublin, Ireland - 16th August 2021

We head out to somewhere near Blessington in the Wicklow Mountains for lunch with Noddy, Jilly and the donkeys. Then, the next day, we're off to do the Guinness Storehouse tour, but before we get there there's a long walk from just into the Northside of the city, over the Liffy, past the cathedrals and down Thomas Street.
