Dublin Part 1 - Guinness Factory

Went to Dublin for 3 days, with 2 fellow kiwi friends, first stop on our trip the Guinness Factory.
Amazing brewery, amazing beer, and even more amazing city, more photos of Dublin to follow shortly...

Brighton

A couple of girls and I went for a lovely day trip down to Sunny Brighton, the weather was amazing, even got a little tan. Brighton is a lovely little sea side town, the pebble beach is a little odd though.
