Hello lovelies!
It has been a little while; I've been working, going on adventures, and writing! I've been meaning to write about my most recent solo trip. I'm a few weeks (maybe more than a few) late, but better late than never.
In July, I embarked on my third solo trip to Dublin, which is a little closer to home (somewhat). I spent a few days in Dublin and had the most refreshing time, including the quick one-hour flight.
The whole reason for my visit to Dublin, which I'm sure no one is surprised about, was to visit a library—to do the Book of Kells tour, to be exact.
The tour wasn't my only bookish adventure. I also visited a few Oscar Wilde spots, nosed in book windows, and wrote in coffee shops. It was a fabulous writing trip, and Dublin didn't disappoint in inspiring me.
I really enjoyed wandering through the streets of Dublin. I finally ticked off having my first Guinness in Ireland off my bucket list! I'm not overly a fan, but I enjoyed the experience of being in a friendly Irish pub. The locals were lovely—even if there was an England league sports game of sorts going on. Everyone I met was lovely, and the Irish accent will forever be one of my favourites. I hope to visit other areas of Ireland, but now that I've done Dublin, I'd like to explore further. It helps that it doesn't take very long to get there, and it's under an hour on a plane. Quicker than getting a train from Newcastle to London or Newcastle to Edinburgh.
