Headed over to Paris at the end of May for a few days and was totally impressed by it all. I really rated the transport, the food, the attractions, the aesthetics....pretty much knocked off the touristy things. Snuck out to a couple of sessions at the French Open tennis which was good too - it was quite weird actually because they do tickets like at Wimbledon (one in/one out), but somehow we managed to time our entry so this China who was coming out gave us free tickets to one of the show courts which was ideal.
From there we headed over to Dublin for a couple of nights - really friendly place and so many pubs it is unbelievable. Did a tour of the old gaol there which was first rate and also paid our dues at the Guinness Factory which was pretty decent.
Definitely have to return to see some more of the countryside up there though.
