Last night we had a Halloween party at our house for our birthdays :) So impressed with everyone's outfits! I think Simon's fake blood (that doesn't seem to come off) was the winner... seemed to scare everyone.... especially me!

The best part about Halloween over this side of the world is how rubbish quality the pumpkins are, which makes carving them a lot easier. They are so soft and just break away easily...

The vodka shots seemed a good thing at the time... but feeling worse for wear today after them...

Dublin

Simon with one of his many Guinness' for the weekend

Pa pa, we made it to the Jameson's distillery for you!
The Guinness Brewery!
Ummm, tastes good!

All of the different Guinness bottles made over time...

We flew to Dublin on Friday with dirty old Ryan Air and stayed at this beautiful Victorian B&B pub in the heart of Dublin city. We arrived on Friday night and went straight to our bar downstairs for our first of many Guinness'. Sooooo good and we had the excuse of it being good for you. hehe.

We spent Saturday morning at the Jameson's Whiskey distillery where I tried my first whiskey. And ahhhh sorry pa pa, but it's definitely an acquired taste for the mature shall I say... not me. Was interesting to see the process of how it is made and Simon loved the free drinks after the tour.

In the afternoon we went to the Guinness brewery and spent hours looking around, tasting, having a meal at the "Guinness restaurant" and then drinking a few at the bar on the 7th floor overlooking Dublin. Awesome bar!
