Dublin's fair city

To Dublin, Ireland on Wednesday to see a supplier with the day job. The plane was over an hour late taking off from Gatwick on a foggy morning with aircraft queuing for the single runway. Stayed the night at The Morrison hotel on the banks of the Liffie, which has minimalist Japanese-style decor, and dined at "La Stampa" a large open-plan place in pleasant surroundings. Early start back at 07:30 with a cheerful Irish cab driver telling tall tales about partying in the Republic. Good to see Dublin is booming with the IT industry a big component in that success.
