Tourists are friendly.

Inside Dublin Castle.
The Guinness Storehouse.
Barrels. They are really hard to make.

Well this has turned out to me a great day.

We began with a free tour of London that began in the middle of the city. We saw City Hall, Dublin Castle, Temple Bar, the Viking area, St. Patrick's Cathedral, St. Stephen's Green and much more. On our tour we met a bunch of really cool people, two from Australia and two from Italy (originally from Toronto and Nebraska).

After the tour was over we all decided to walk over to the Guinness Storehouse for a tour. The self-guided tour took us level by level showing us everything about Guinness. From the four ingredients to the detailed process of making the beer, it was all quite interesting. As it was getting late, the whole group decided to head up to the Gravity Bar for our free drink. The Gravity Bar is set at the very top of the building, all the walls are glass, giving you an incredible view of the entire city. We sat around talking and getting to know each other, it was just really cool to meet people who are all experiencing different things in their travels.

From here we all headed back towards the city center and found a nice Irish restaurant for dinner. It was by far the most expensive meal yet, but well worth it after a long day. I am still super lame/sick and stayed in tonight. I just want to get better!

We head to Prague on Friday, so I will definitely have photos up by the weekend!
