Chaps,

Mrs zcacogp and I are in Dublin ... staying on Lower Leeson Street, just to the south east of the Temple Bar area.

We're in a decent hotel, but looking for inspiration on what to do while here. There seems to be a decent list of usual tourist locations (and no end of tourist tack), but what do people recommend? Looking for as authentic Irish as possible (so we need to find a good point of Guinness, plate of coddle etc etc etc) rather than tourist-hype.

All suggestions welcome. Oh, and everything seems very expensive. Much more so than London. £/Euro exchange isn't helping, but since when has Ireland been an expensive place to visit? Two cups of coffee and a pastry for nearly £7 ... and that seems to be the going rate!


Oli.
