"The Viking Splash tour"

The last day we found out that we had to take one of the typically tourist-buses. Ok, it wasn't very typially. This was the Viking Splash Tour. We all had to wear viking helmets and roar at pedestrians on command. Fun thing, but maybe ot if you are travelling alone. Here are some shots from this tour.

The Viking valuta is whatever you may have in your garage.

The amphibie-bus suddenly drove into the sea. This is the house where most of the U2-music was created. Here with Bono's own seagull in front.

Local lads diving from an old ship into ..the dock? Shait!

And this is the ship where the lads were diving from.

Vikings returning to the land of the celts.

Dublin fair city


This giant spire of over 122 meter in the the north side of the river Liffey is one of the millennium-projects of Dublin. It wasn't finished before 2003, when everybody was way over the millennium-thing. Its now for sale on Ebay and the price so far is 50€.

Ha'penny Bridge (The Liffey Bridge) over the River Liffey on a rainy day. The bridge goes straigt over to Temple Bar-area. It was built because the ferries in the old days was so bad that sombody had to build a bridge to get people safely over. It used to cost one and a half penny to cross, therefore the name.

The Church Bar in the end of Henry Street. Its a protestant church made in to a bar. Its the first time i have been drinking a stout of Guinness in a church. Taken in may 2010.
