From Ely, we got back on the road and headed North towards King’s Lynn. By this point, even though we’d been caught in the rain in the morning as we arrived in Ely, it was nice and hot with barely a cloud in the sky! Lovely turn in the weather! The roads were nice to drive along, traffic was light, and the surrounding scenery was lovely, so it was a great relaxing drive.

This morning after a quick trip to the local shopping centre for some essentials, we set off to visit Phoenix Park and Dublin Zoo which is less than 15 minutes from our hotel. Phoenix Park is the biggest inner-city park in Europe, and it is definitely very big, it’d probably take around an hour to walk from one side to the other.

Today we learnt that a huge number of the roads around and heading away from Dublin were built in the last 10 years, so according to the satnav in my car we spent most of the day driving through fields! Since it’s Helen’s birthday today, we started by visiting an Inglot shop (a high-end makeup brand) in Ireland’s largest shopping centre (that’s about a quarter of the size of the Trafford Centre for comparison).

For our honeymoon, we chose to visit the Lake District for a few nights. A different kind of break to our usual sightseeing holidays, we wanted somewhere easy and relaxing, to take in the countryside and recover after all the excitement of the wedding.

Tuesday was our last full day away, so we decided to do some more travelling to see the sights. We first drove out to Marazion and St Michael’s Mount, which was beautiful; the village of Marazion was very quaint (although everyone around referred to it as a town despite it having no more than 1500 residents).
