We did a lot of things in dublin the second day, but nothing was as awesome as visiting the Tea garden and tasting real tea. Now, I've never been a big fan of tea. I've wanted to be a big fan of it, but the taste has never really caught me that much. I have learned to be able to drink tea, yet it's not my favourite drink.
But robert found this tea garden place in dubli ad has been hooked ever since the first time, and I understand why! It's super delicious!!

It was such a super cozy room, with a calm atmosphere that we sat there for a few hours just talking and sipping the most delicious chai tea I have ever tasted!! I really wonder shy we don't have a real tea shop in sweden! In stockholm there are so many tea-enthusiasts that a tea-shop would bloom! Especially when its this tasty... I should start a tea business in stockholm lah! Would make major cash! haha!
A whole pot of tea we bought and shared for 10 Euro which was enough for about 3,5 tea cups each. I could probably have chugged down a whole pot by myself though! Ah! Now I want more of that tea! So delicious!
After the tea we went to a pub to see the typical live shows that go on in dublin. (if you've seen Ps I love you, you know what I mean). I also shot a little video of it, so I will upload it later for you :)
After seeing the performance we realized we were hungry and so we went to search for some irish food and we decided on a restaurant specialty called "guiness pie". And this is what we got:
So it's a bowl of stew, a piece of bread and fries. And a shot of guinness, supposedly to put in the stew, but I only put a little bit of it in since I'm not much for alcohol, let alone guinness beer. Now there was nothing wrong with the taste of the food - it was delicious actually, but when it arrived I was stumped. "This is not pie" I said to robert.
I don't know what pie looks like in other parts of the world but as far as I know, pie looks like this:
So yeah, I was very surprised, and so was robert because he had eaten at this very ame restaurant and gotten something entirely different. So we asked the waitress but she swore it was pie. So, we ate it, and of course it was good, no doubt about it. But calling it pie was a total lie!!
Then we walked down the cobblestone road that is central dublin (Like taking a stroll in a pittoresue city a few hundred years ago, super charming.) and went home to chill and watch more hunter x hunter.
And that was it for the dublin trip, because the next morning all we had time for was a quick breakfast before running for the bus - because we woke up way too late and I just barely made it to my flight haha!
I booked my next trip to dublin a few days ago and so I know I will be going to dublin again on the 17th (So very soon! Only a week left!) and I will be staying for almost a week. So look forward to more pictures from dublin soon :) I also have a few videos that I haven't uploaded yet, but that's for another post :)
