Dublin (part 6) - flowers and performances

After seeing trinity college we decided to get a smoothie. Robert had spoke so warmly of the smoothies from zumo, and so we went there. Unfortunately almost every smoothie had a base of orange, and I'm not so fond of orange. But there was one that looked good without orange and so I picked that one. I don't remember exactly what was in it, but I had the choice of choosing extra either strawberry or coconut in the mix and since I couldn't choose the guy behind the cocunter offered me both. And I took it.

I had no idea that strawberry and coconut would taste so aweful together lah! (I think there was pear in the mix a well) so unfortunately I couldnt drink it all - it somehow tasted like preservatives haha!

Then, with robert still drinking his smoothie and me looking for a trashcan to throw away mine, we went to the park.

You see this pretty little swan? This is a looooong zoom in, because I could never get that close to a swimming swan with my camera otherwise.

And well, as you can see, the swans were pretty far off ;) Such a great zoom on my camera, I love it :D

Random statue in the park of some random dude ;)

Flowers were already in full bloom over there already so I seized the opportunity to take a lot of pictures of the spring <3

After the walk in the park we went back to the main street ad found a few really funny things like this:

The sign says: Closed for a mini-makeover, yet when you look inside it looks like the end of the world haha! I thought it was funny at least ;)

Or this sign on top of the gift shop. It's always rainy in ireland!

Then we saw some pretty cool stuff, the first one is crazy realistic statue made of SAND that we found right on the side of the street.

And then these guys! No not the them, the black statues, except they're of course not REAL statues, they're real living humans posing as statues, and they were real good at it too!

We also found two bagpipe players, one with a scottish bagpipe (the right one) and one with the irish bagpipe version. I had no idea that they had different bagpipes, but aparently they do!

The last thing we saw before talking a walk to the next place was loads of people wanting to take pictures of this statue. I have no idea who she is or why this statue was so important, so I squeezed myself in and took a picture of it. So yah, now that I do have a picture of her - anyone know who the hell she is? :P
