In my previous post, I shared with you all the quirky colourful areas of Dublin; places where you can hang out and explore when the weather is unpredictable and you might have to run for shelter any moment.
But seeing that it's summer time, I'm hoping that the Irish weather is a little kinder, and you get at least a couple of warm, sunny, mornings if you're living in Dublin or visiting the city.
A great way to spend a warm good weathered morning/afternoon in Dublin is to walk along the Liffey River.
The river and its bridges are beautiful at night, but on a nice day, they are just as lovely to hang around.
With a lemonade (or ice cream) in hand, a wonderful afternoon stroll down the river would be perfect.
As I was walking along the Liffey, I realised Dublin had so many lovely bridges. My 2 favourites were, the one near Temple Bar called Ha'penny Bridge, and the Samuel Beckett Bridge.
Walking down along the river towards The Samuel Beckett bridge (or the Harp Bridge), you get to see a lot of interesting sights from buildings like the Custom House to like a group of bronze statues representing ---- my favourite sight was the ships along the river. It maybe because of my then obsession with the TV Show Once Upon A Time, and The Jolly Roger, but that ship sure looked like it could belong to Captain Hook!

I was really surprised by the lack of people along the river in Dublin. When I was in Paris last summer, the banks of La Seine were CONSTANTLY filled with people sitting around and having a drink.
Ok, I understand that Paris is beautiful in the spring/summer, but the Dublin River is lovely as well! It's just sad that the Irish don't get great weather that often. I'm pretty sure if they have long warm sunny spring/summer days and nights, the Liffey would be filled with people chilling out around it. I mean I saw quite a number of empty benched on my walk. Somebody has to fill them sometime otherwise they wouldn't be there. Maybe I was there a little too early in the season. And since the weather was being quite temperamental, people might have just chosen to not stay out for too long.
People from Dublin, tell me, does the Liffey gets crowded during the summer time?
I sure hope it does because I have this image of how vibrant it could be in my head!
