Did you know that the background of my blog is a picture of Dundalk way up high on a hill? I know it's pretty awesome. A lot of you are probably wondering what Dundalk is like and where it's located on the map. I figured you would be so that's why I decided to write this post. To help you understand where I go when I visit Ireland and what it's like.
Dundalk is located on the North Eastern side of Ireland. Three miles from the border which separates Ireland from Northern Ireland. It is town in County Louth. The capital is an hour from Dundalk.
There are lots of shopping centers in the town itself. You can take a bus, drive or even walk to the town in Dundalk. They actually have this really big mall called the Marshes. The Marshes has lots of small stores and food places as well. There's another mall called the Long Walk. The Long Walk is still opened to the public, but a lot of stores closed down.
If you ever want a delicous breakfast, lunch or dinner, this Resturant is worth every penny. It's call the Copper Kettle. The Copper Kettle has been around since I was a little girl. They have the best Chips and gravy. The Irish love their gravy as much as they love their beer. There's also something new on the menu everyday. There's also this bakery called Home Bakery. They have the best rolls in my opinion. But they also have lots of sweet treats.
They recently opened up this new store called Dealz. Dealz is a shopping center that sells grocery, sweets, crisps, soft drinks, chocolate, pet supplies, gardening, art and party supplies for a lot less. Similar to Dollar Tree in America only Dealz isn't all a dollar but defiantly cheap. One of my favorite stores actually.
Besides shops, malls, pubs and resturants Dundalk has a whole lot more to offer. You can drive, take the bus or even walk to the Navy Bank. The Navy Bank is a board walk that lets you see this amazing view of the Irish Sea and the mountains while you enjoy the fresh air.
Unfortuantly there aren't any books on Dundalk yet. But one day someone will write one. Who knows who will be the author or when it will happen. But I can say there has to be one. For now we have google. Which is helpful in certain ways. I still think a book would be a lot more helpful. It would attract more tourists.
Now that you got an idea what Dundalk looks like, close your eyes and use your imagination
