Naked under James Joyce

Ah, now that has grabbed your attention!!

Not that I would wish anyone to be naked under James Joyce, I am not sure how much fun that would be.

If you visit Ireland, chances are that if you go by ferry you will travel to and from the port of Dun Laoghaire. Not far from the port is a small cove overlooked by the James Joyce tower, called the Forty foot.

here you can observe (or partake) in swimming in the bay. Fair enough in summer and early autumn but to be honest the last you thing you expect to see is a butt naked old boy jumping in without a care in the world.

It looked great fun and I would love to have ago next time I am there. But as for a full monty swim, well that will have to wait.

Another thing that is great to look at when you walk along the seafront here is a giant anemone sculpture.
