Travel: Phoenix Park
Phoenix Park – it’s a massive and awesome park in Dublin. It’s home to the Dublin Zoo, a Tea Room (we didn’t visit this; someone asked us for directions to it, though) and a lot of stunning flowers. Okay, let’s check out some of the highlights of Phoenix Park. Phoenix Park First, we visited quite early – around 8:45am – 9:00am on a Friday morning, and it wasn’t busy at all. Some runners, a few people walking, and one person on a bike. No dogs,…

Travel: Dublin Zoo
Dublin Zoo – it’s a fantastic way to spend a morning or an afternoon, walking, seeing the animals, and enjoying the company you’re with. The zoo is in Phoenix Park (more on that soon!) and is about 70 acres. We put on about 30,000 steps – we walked a lot. The zoo opens at 9:30am, and we got there shortly after it opened and spent the morning – so about 2.5 hours. We booked our tickets online to save about 15%, plus they have student…

Travel: Dublin Sights
Dublin sights! There are so many statues and sights all around Dublin, so be sure to walk and enjoy your surroundings.

Okay, photo time. Dublin Sights The Thomas Davis Stature above has a bird on its head – it’s kind of wild how much it’s covered in bird poop.…

Travel: Dublin Snapshot
