Halló all, well folks I am back from Dublin Ireland and I have to say that I had a unforgetable time down there with my wife and many oters Icelanders, We arrived at the dublin airport at 12 on Thursday and after checking In on the hotel we start looking around and we got lost in Dublin for a three hours, but there was someone looking after us and helped us out back to the hotel and we took it easy until on Friday we went to a pup called the three rocks i think and there I went on stage and played and sang with the Marry Ploughboys the song Wild Rover and I got all the people to sing with me there was people from the Us, Norway,Iceland and Ireland and I sang the two last chorus In Icelandic and all the Icelanders sang with me, and I have to say this was the best Birthday gift i got this year the trip to Ireland and to be on stages live in Dublin this is a lot for a man like me and i will keep this In my memories for a long time. On Saturday we went shopping jabb money spent you know Christmas is coming. At Saturdaynight we went to see The Magic of the dance and Vá what a show its great one. And after that i was gonna go to the Yellow house its a pup In Arth Fortham In Dublin I hope my spelling is right and there I was gonna meet Mudcatter erinmaiden but my herniacut was hurting me so I went to sleep. Well Sunday and more shopping , and more shopping? just to have to say to you that you might think the Icelanders where not you know Okei, but In viking time we just went over there and took it but we go over there now and pay for the things , just a joke no all the Icelanders go just to shopping for christmas I think about 2000 of them goes to Dublin this year.We went to Wicklow mountains and to Acova and back on Sunday,On sunday night we went to the Celt on Earl street and there was some live music and then we went to O´Donoghue and there where some people In session playing and I sang with the Old triangle And it was great time, after a " few Pint of a guinnes we went to bed and today back home to Iceland. And here I am writing this dow I will have forgot some of things that we did do but we had a great time Down there, I forgot , something that will be in our mind for rest off our life and the visit to the Kilmainam Jail (Gaol)A dark history of All Ireland.
