Mizmazzle’s Trip Across the Pond

[tody]

@Tago-Mago I mean, who WOULDN'T fall for that?

[Mizmazzle]

@americanathreads bro!!! Thanks so much for all this. We will have 3 days in Dublin so these will be fantastic resources for us!! So psyched right now!!
While in Dublin we’re staying in Portobello.

The show we are seeing was originally booked at Waylon’s but was relocated a couple of days ago to Opium Live. Kinda bummed about that as Waylon’s looked really cool.

We leave Dublin and have lodging booked in Ballyvaughn for 2 nights. We then have 2 nights before we have to fly out of Cork that we left open to be able to explore and be flexible. Any suggestions based on that would be really helpful.

@Tago-Mago kebab sounds sooo good. We have it here, but nothing like I’ve had abroad.

[Mizmazzle]

@pechelman thanks Phil. Galway was on our list…but I think we opted for very small villages to stay in for some reason. Sounded more idilic I guess. But we might be able to swing a day trip there for sure.

@Mizmazzle For sure man! Ah nice, 3 days is great. Plenty of time to do Dublin well. Knowing you're there a bit longer than I thought, if you really want to check out the best Guinness/Pub in town, John Kavanagh's Pub "The Gravediggers" is probably the pub. Bit further out though, so the other ones listed will be just fine too.

If you're staying in Portobello (good location), I probably would recommend taking a stroll or LUAS to Ranelagh and walking around. There is a Brother Hubbard there, great pubs (McSorley's), and a cafe we love called Nobó (acai bowl, coffee, dairy free chocolate).

In Portobello, a couple of restaurants you could check out:

• Alma (incredible brunch, reservation!)
• Bibi's (brunch)
• Bastible
• Clanbrassil House
• Richmond

Note: for all restaurants mentioned, worth looking into reservations/availabilty. Most you wouldn't be able to wander up and get a table.

Not too familiar with Ballyvaughn, but I've got a restaurant/pub saved called Moran's Oyster Cottage which I've seen recommended a lot, could be worth checking out.

Obviously up to you, but as you're going to be so close to Galway, I think it'd be a mistake to skip it - even for half a day. It's not a big city at all, has great culture, and rarely disappoints. But if it messes with your itinerary, obviously do what you need to do, but just wanted to mention it.

For those couple of open days, I'd look into Lahinch (seaside town), Killarney (lakeside town, with a beautiful surrounding landscape), and yes Dingle, but that might add to your driving time quite a bit with Cork being the final destination.

It's going to be quite the come down to reality going from rural Ireland to Gosvegas

[Tago Mago]

@AdamJ There's plenty to distract from the scenery in Gos Vegas

AI says:

In slang, "fox" and "foxy" can describe a person, most often a woman, who is sexually attractive.

So No.....

[Tago Mago]

@Giles especially now that you have left Gosport for the weekend

[Giles]

Glad someone recognises me for what I really am.....

Gosport's booming business: mobility scooters!
