And my completed ones:
- I saw the Book of Kells: the long hall of the library was way more awesome than the book itself - you can only see one page.
- Visit the Guinness Storehouse: Good one, especially for the very special treat of savoring a pint of Guinness while enjoying a 360 view of Dublin.
- Visit the Little Museum of Dublin: So much to see in this tiny space, a little capharnaüm-esque. I wish the museum was somehow bigger, and there were more signs telling the story of each artifact - maybe in audio format. The guides are excellent and full of stories... don't just go there to watch the items, the stories are what makes the whole experience exhilarating.
- Boating in Dublin Bay - cruise from Dun Laoghaire to Howth.
- Eat a Dublin coddle: not sure I got what so fantastic about them, nice dish, I will probably get it the next time I see it on a menu. Pity, it is so rare to find a place which serves them in Dublin. Maybe an additional excuse to go to the gravedigger.
- Go to Johnnie Fox's: fun
- Visit the Old Jameson Distillery: Quite disappointed to be honest, I enjoyed more the Bushmills tour.

- Visit the Irish museum of Modern Art: good one, the ground are excellent for kids running, and there is a tea room for mammy to relax.
