Your trip reports are always so interesting that I start planning a trip to the same area. Looks like Athens will be a destination soon.
I took a photo of the same Madigan's in Dublin for a friend of mine who shares that last name.
Agree that the Maldron franchise is a good bargain. We stayed at one two different times while driving around Ireland in May 2014.
Thanks to you, I have become a big fan of Natalie and always cheer for her.
Happy travels!
