I continued my experience in London. These last days I was very occuped and I hope that now I'll write more often. In these "kit kat" I've visited a little bit more London and the last weekend we visited Dublin (an incredible city).
For example the weekend of 5-6 of February, Mireia came here again and we visited the city center. We started in Madame Tussaud's (http://www.madametussauds.com) but we didn't enter, there were a lot of people in cue. We continued to Marylebone High Street where we found some beautiful shops and then we arrived to Oxford Street. My uncle had recomended me to visit Fortnum & Manson (http://www.fortnumandmason.com) and of course, we visited the shop. It's a beutiful shop to visit, only to visit, jejeje. Near the shop we found a Benihana Restaurant where my uncle told us that if we have an opportunity we would take lunch or dinner, because is a different restaurant.
In the afternoon we walked around to Big Ben and London Eye and we ended the day in a pub, drinking a beer.
On Sunday, we went to Speakers Corner and we continued to Harrod's. We walked around Harrod's and finally we went to the airport. Mireia had the flight at 16h. Afterwards, I went to Stamford Bridge (Chelsea Stadium) where it was the Chelsea - Arsenal day. There were a lot of people and I tried to buy a ticket but it was impossible.
The week was the same. Study, study and more study English and the afternoons were work, work and more work. I had a very stressful week. It's lucky that the following weekend we going to Dublin. Different city, different experiences.
Finally, last weekend started with a David's retirement dinner. All David's family came to celebrate his early retirement. I met all his family and we had an excellent dinner. I prepared two (Truita de Patates) omelettes with potatoes. I enjoyed it a lot.
On Saturday, we went to Dublin. It was an incredible experience. Dublin is fantastic and people were very friendly. Now I understand the comments of a good friend who always said that Dublin was different.
We had only 24h to spend in Dublin. We started visiting Guinness Factory (very important) and to get to factory we bought two tickets for Red City Bus. In this way, we had a good way to visit Dublin quickly.
The Guinness Factory was a good visit, but the best thing is the Gravity Bar, on the top of the Factory where we drank a very good pint of Guinness.
We continued visiting Temple Bar. We went to a tipical Irish Pub, Oliver St John Gogarty (http://www.gogartys.ie). There was an incredible ambient because the pub was full. A lot of people were watching the 6 Nations match, France - Ireland. Really, a very good ambient. We drank a tipical pint of Guinness and after we went to another pub, also tipical, The Temple Bar (http://www.thetemplebarpub.com). In this pub we drank another Guinness and we enjoyed live music. We enjoyed it a lot. Finally we took dinner in Gogartys pub and we continued the evening visiting another pubs.
On Sunday, we woke up early because we wanted to visit a lot of places, Trinity College, St Patricks Cathedral, Christ Church, Dublin Castle, etc... Thanks to Red City Bus, we could visit all the places and ended we drank the last Irish Guinness in the airport.
We recommend visit to Dublin.
