Hi Gianfranco, Possibly the youngest on the list at a tiny 24. I'd like to go to Dublin sometime in my life, but probably not this trip because it's not too far a stretch from the UK (not intending step on anybody's toes!). But I really do want to visit the birthplace of my name! "Mun Riann your name was, laddie? Aye drink up!" Also, bent on finding a serpent they say they don't have :-)
Monument, museums, art galleries, great food, reasonable security and hospitality- not that much to ask is it? I'd like to think I'm reasonably urbanised, but the thing is I'm afraid of coming across as a lost 17 year old (which I could pass off for I've been told) with a big fat DSLR round my neck- hence my safety paranoia.. Decisions decisions..
