title Busking in Temple Bar, Dublin, Ireland - 12th August 2019 intro We head off up to Dublin so that Fred can do a bit of busking, but first we stop by an exhibition near Pearse Station. Sadly it's closed on Mondays, so then we try to visit the Book of Kells, but the queue's a mile long. However, we do get to (possibly) be in a TV version of the book "Normal People", which is being filmed in the grounds of Trinity College. Then, Isobel takes us to her favourite Pizza place, but it's shut down, after which we end up at a bar in Temple Bar which isn't what it used to be. There's also a trip to Walton's Music, but that's moved out of town. So it's all a run of bad luck, but in between we do get to visit the Molly Malone statue, although it's already got its allocation of buskers so Fred can't busk his Molly Malone tune on the flute. However, he does get to do it in Temple Bar, and even gets a couple of Euro and a round of applause. imgc3985 Noddy and the boys play cards imgp2337 We head off to the Booterstown DART station imgp2338 The boys inspect a broken door at the DART station imgp2340 A couple of DART trains imgp2344 Harry and Isobel on the train imgp2345 Random graffiti imgp2346 Graffiti on railway equipment imgp2348 More graffiti near Lansdowne Road imgp2351 The cool converted gasometer near Lansdowne Road imgp2353 At Pearse Street station imgp2355 Under the arches near Pearse Street imgp2359 Harry stares up at a big steel ball sculpture imgp2361 Part of the queue for the Book of Kells imgp2362 A statue dude in a chair imgp2363 Roaming around Trinity College imgp2368 The actor gets his hair ruffled so it's just right imgp2377 The fake university proctor does a speech imgp2383 A big crowd scene is filmed imgp2389 The filming scene breaks up imgp2390 An ever-so-inviting sign for a, er, shop imgp2391 The gang on Grafton Street imgp2392 The statue of Phil Lynott imgp2393 Isobel's favourite pizza place has closed down imgp2395 Fred gets some origami paper from a Japanese shop imgp2396 Harry's mesmerised by a vapour generator imgp2397 Brightly-coloured bar imgp2398 Some wrecked statue lurks in a car park imgp2401 It's no wonder Molly looks sad imgp2402 Harry by the Molly Malone statue imgp2406 The boys give some money to some buskers imgp2407 Art gallery back alley imgp2408 Walking past the graffiti shop imgp2409 A graffiti-covered shop imgp2410 Isobel and the boys head into Temple Bar imgp2412 Massive wall art on Connected Ink tattoo imgp2414 The gang in Bad Ass bar imgp2416 The Bad Ass bar imgp2420 Harry's got ice cream, whilst Fred does origami imgp2424 Fred on the flute imgp2427 Hanging around outside Huey Morgan's old pizza place imgp2430 Fred busks flute in Temple Bar imgp2431 Harry's not impressed imgp2432 The tourist crowds in Temple Bar imgp2433 The Ha'penny Bridge across the Liffey imgp2434 A repair shop with a Singer sewing machine imgp2435 More Temple Bar streets imgp2436 Funky stained-glass door imgp2437 Interesting door art imgp2439 Lovely 1920s Spar building imgp2442 The market near where Walton's used to be imgp2443 Fred tries Irish flute in a world-music shop imgp2444 Fred tries a piccolo imgp2447 Crumbling building imgp2448 Impressive plasterwork and chandelier imgp2450 A covered courtyard imgp2451 Some dude walks past graffiti shutters imgp2452 Derelict antique shop imgp2453 Very purple hair on Grafton Street imgp2454 A sticker aimed at dogs imgp2455 A row of Boris bikes imgp2456 Another Dublin back street imgp2457 A former laboratory apparatus shop imgp2458 A tree stump turned into a dragon imgp2460 Fred lords it up on a throne imgp2462 Harry on the throne imgp2463 Walking around St. Stephen's Green imgp2465 Oscar Wilde on a rock imgp2469 Funky floating lights in a café imgp2470 Back at Pearse Street Station imgp2472 Isobel chats to her friend imgp2473 Back on a DART train imgp2475 Easter Rising commemoration imgp2476 Down by the canal imgp2482 The boys go nuts on the train imgp2483 The Winkies from across the bay imgp2485 On the footbridge at Booterstown imgp2496 A Heron pokes about in manky water
