Our day trip to Dunoon - near the mouth of Glasgows Clyde river.
and below - our trip to Dublin.
( oh, and I've added a stunning panorama from our New Zealand trip - here )
* remember : click on the photo to see it larger.
A train trip, a ferry ride and we're in yet another lovely part of Scotland !
arty shot
This is a lovely traditional hotel -
we ventured in out of the cold seeking a coffee and in the foyer there was
a board with table numbers allocated to room numbers.
where we had lunch - overlooking the water,
just before we ferried back to Glassow side
as the sky started going dark around 5pm.

and ... Our weekend in Dublin !
and guess who we flew with !
This place must rival Amsterdam for the skinniest building award !
Looking down towards the spire in O'Connell street.
Some crazy beardy weirdy in a box.
The amnesty memorial flame, and as memorials go ... stunning.
and they have a canal system too !
In this park their are many memorials including ...
... Oscar Wilde.
Waiting for inspiration to send our postcard back to Tim.
The Temple Bar area with restaurants and, yes, bars !
Ian : My feelings about Dublin : It was pleasant but didn't feel that different from
Glasgow ( except cleaner ! ). It was interesting to see the 2000 year old
bodies found in peat bogs in the Dublin museum. A little bit touristy.
I'd like to get out into the countryside next time.
... and a cute Irish cop !
and lastly, a few recent shots of Dumbarton road near our place
and the xmas lights of George square in the city centre.
Enjoy ! and have a great New Year !
(and if you saw that recent documentary -
you'll hopefully be joining me in boycotting ALL
of the Coca Cola brands because of their disgusting
corporate behaviour and human rights abuses
in third world countries.)

Oh ! and I must say - Congratulations Australia ! - for
finally steering away from the grey fearful 1950's
world of John Howard ! 8 years late, but Here's
hoping for a more enlightened future !
