Dun Laoghaire - Ireland's Own Riviera!

It's been ages since I last visited Dun Laoghaire, the beautiful seaside town just about ten miles outside Dublin. For the past couple of years I've been promising myself I'd go but something always cropped up to prevent me so last Tuesday I took the bull by the horns and "jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire" as the old Bagatelle song, "Summer In Dublin" lyrics go.

The day was a sweltherer, the sun so warm and the sky so blue that you'd be forgiven for thinking you were walking along a promenade on the French Riviera. Taken July 2011.

Enjoy!
