Guinness, A Taste of Ireland


The Guinness brewery was set up in 1759 in St. James's Gate. This brew had resulted in a considerable economic impact for the city. For much time since its foundation, the Guinness brewery was the largest employer in the city. Guinness is surely a major part of Irish culture, so Zenzero couldn't resist not visiting the Guinness Factory, and trying a pint or two himself. Yumm!



Dublin: Ireland's Fair City


He might not have the luck of the Irish, but he is lucky enough to get to visit the Irish Capital: Dublin. The Greeks had their first recorded settlement in the area which the they called Eblana Civitas. Later on, a settlement called Dubh Linn started emerging and the town was established by the Norse in about 841. Ultimately it was taken over by the Celts until the British launched the conquest of Ireland. Today it acts as Zenzero's travel destination.   

Among the many landmarks, Zenzero also visited Dublina, Trinity College, Saint Patrick's Church, Sweet Molly Malone, Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum and later on, the Guinness factory.
