Dublin has been the backdrop for many novels and it's no surprise given its written tradition dates back to 800 A.D. with The Book of Kells, which is now on display at Trinity College, Ireland's oldest university. The city is the birthplace of many literary figures such as Joyce, Beckett, Yeats, Shawn and Wilde to name but a few. The city's Georgian elegance blends seamlessly with the medieval and modern architecture that gives Dublin its unique character. One can't deny that Dublin is a city of culture; the UNESCO designated Ireland's capital as the city of literature in 2010. Culture enthusiasts are also spoilt for choice when it comes to museums and galleries. From the National Museum of Ireland and the National Library to the National Gallery and the charming Little Museum of Dublin housing the lectern that US president JFK used to address the National Parliament in 1963, there is plenty to take in. Not to forget of course the magnificent Dublin Castle dating back to the 13th century. Aside from its splendid riches, the best thing about this city is its people. Dubliners are friendly, warm, surprisingly outgoing and witty, even more so after a few pints of Guinness. In its over 1000 pubs one makes friends easily. It should be compulsory for tourists to spend some time in a pub as it is one of the most memorable experiences of a visit to Ireland. Dublin is also a young city, it has one of the youngest populations in Europe, around half of its inhabitants are believed to be under the age of 25. This fact has made the city vibrant, dynamic, energetic and ambitious. Dublin is brimming with trendy bars, sophisticated restaurants and lively clubs, the epicentre being the buzzing Temple Bar area. Live music is a religion in Ireland and Dublin is its mecca. The city's live music scene is superb and has given the world a number of global musical superstars from U2 and Westlife to The Script and Sinead O’Connor. Everyone is welcome in this now multicultural city, but be warned, Dublin, like its people, is so charismatic and infectious that you may never want to leave.

Calf of Man is a 2.50-square-kilometre island, off the southwest coast of the Isle of Man. It is separated from the Isle of Man by a narrow stretch of water called the Calf Sound. Like the nearby rocky islets of Chicken Rock and Kitterland, it is part of the historic parish of Rushen and the current parish district of Arbory and Rushen. It has only two seasonal inhabitants. The word 'calf' derives from the Old Norse word kalfr which means a small island lying near a larger one. One can reach the Calf of Man by boat from either Port Erin or Port St Mary.

Day 11

reykjavik, iceland

Arrival: 07:00

Reykjavik is not your typical capital city, it has no magnificent buildings, or a historic city centre or grand monuments, this city is much more than that. Iceland’s capital is different, full of life and very close to nature. Its location, at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, between two fjords and surrounded by a lunar volcanic framework, makes the city, whose name literally means Bay of Smokes, incomparably special. The world’s northernmost capital is the perfect place for outdoor and wildlife enthusiasts. Surrounded by sea, whale watching is one of the most popular tourist activities. The city has plenty of open spaces: parks, pedestrian areas, a lake situated next to the city hall and Nauthólsvik geothermal beach just 15 min away from the city centre. Throughout the city there are 7 municipal geothermal pools where locals go to socialise and relax after work. Other activities like cycling, hiking, horse riding, sailing and fishing can all be enjoyed on the doorsteps of the capital. Aside from all its natural wonders, Reykjavik always has something to offer. It is a cosmopolitan and dynamic city full of museums, art galleries and cosy coffee shops. Its nightlife is exciting and outrageous, during a night out, it seems locals are making up for the prohibition on beer that was in force till 1989 and nightspots tend to stay open until the early hours of the morning. During the day, the capital is a much more relaxed place, with its neat colourful houses, rubbish-free streets and an easygoing pace of life. Reykjavik is considered one of the cleanest, greenest and safest cities in the world. Getting lost in this city is almost impossible: Hallgrímskirkja church and Öskjuhlíð hill are visible from most places in the city centre and are essential landmarks for orientation. Reykjavik is dynamic, creative, modern, cosy and very special. Its peculiar personality and magnetic surroundings will make you agree that there’s no better city in the world.
