Fuller’s Beer



Fuller’s Beer

Originally uploaded by gt2697

Last night, after being up for essentially 30 hours, and wanting to make it
a quick evening, we headed out from our South Kensington hotel to find a
neighborhood pub for a quick bite and a pint. We found ourselves at a place
called The Top Shelf, and tried some beers from a company called Fuller’s.
Both the London Pride and Vintage Ale were very good, and more information
can be found here – www.fullers-ales.com/

I switched on my iPhone momentarily to see what network it would pick
up. The answer, 3!

I thought this was intersting info as we were in the flight across the
Atlantic. The temperature is very cold at that altitude!

First Guinness in Ireland

The 3 hour layover in Dublin turned out to not be too bad. We found a
place in the airport that served Guinness and had to get a pint. It is
very true what they say, the Guinness does taste MUCH better over
here! Can’t wait to have a few more over the next week.
