Great writers' footsteeps: looking for J. Joyce - Nicola in Dublin

Nicola is supposed to be a writer, but he's been afflicted by  a writer's cramp lately.  Furthermore he was somehow engaged with Edda and now that she left the house he's  been looming around idly flirting with all the girls.
Trying to revive his inspiration he has decided to take a trip to Dublin, on the tracks of J. Joyce's Ulysses.
Anyway he's going to enjoy a tour of the pubs.

Cecilia, who should know better, seized the moment and volunteered to accompany him, as a secretary. She's been eyeing Nicola since her arrival.

She thinks he's got the "tall dark stranger" looks. So she borrowed Ofelia tartan outfit an off they are!

Day One


First of all they pose for a picture with J. Joyce statue.


Then they head for the Writer's museum.


Then a visit to the Martello tower. Cecilia is  bored already.


And Ormond Quay.



Nicola has been blabbering for hours, he's in a stream of consciousness mood and Cecilia wants to die.....

Day two

Nicola is stunned when they meet Giorgia in Grafton Street, he completely forgets about the stream of consciusness and dragging Cecilia with him invites Giorgia to join in.


Giorgia loves Joyce, so she enthusiastically agrees.

They visit the Phoenix Park


Sandy Mouth Strand


And the Castle. Nicola and Giorgia are getting along wonderfully!


Day three

Nicola has completely forgot to focus upon his inspiration and proposes a  tour of the pubs!


The Market


The Stag's Head


The Temple


The Quai

Nicola and Giorgia are definitely an item. Cecilia is very angry at me, but I don't believe she had any chance with Nicola, would she ever find Mr Right Guy?
