Last day of a short break in Dublin and a visit to the General Post Office and museum of the Easter Rising of 1916. Very good and highly recommended if you are here for a couple of days. The museum is in the basement of the building itself and has an excellent display of artifacts, as well as a very well presented short film of the key events, although it's slightly weird to think that it was all happening just above your head on the ground floor.
We visited Dublin a few years ago for a long weekend , I enjoyed the city , the centre is small enough to walk around I found.
ReplyDeleteYep, we walked our socks off but it's very easy to get around. I think I prefer Belfast though.
DeleteMy favourite story about this battle is that both sides observed a daily ceasefire in St Stephen’s Green, so the park keeper could feed the ducks.
