Dublin once more

Another slow, leisurely morning with check out at 11am. We took our time, had a nice brekki before heading off to the bus station to try for a bus to Dublin. We got there with only 5 mins to wait, which we were impressed with. We knew the bus would be slow, but we didn’t realize just how...

Dublin

Dublin Today was our day off from rehearsals, so we all had a bit of a lie in and then left on the shuttle bus for Dublin. After the first bus reversing into a huge metal bollard, we changed buses and got to town at about 11.45am. We found a cute cafe for breakfast and then wandered around...

Turn Your F'ing Music Off

Let’s see- what has happened since the last time I wrote? Well I had my first couple classes in my ‘History of Ireland’ course- which have all been fabulous! I’m so excited to get to experience taking a college course in a different country. I’m interested to see what kinds of similarities...

Whisky and chippies for breakfst

We didn’t sleep very well last night. It was a combination of things really. Firstly, there were ‘hoons’ going up and down the road in there revved out cars (it turned out this one particular guy was the pizza delivery man, I was wondering if he could claim his car alterations for work...

Having Great Craic!

Well yesterday was another great day in Dublin- what a shocker! In the morning we had some orientation stuff, which I thought would be a lot worse than it actually was. Some parts of it were pretty cool actually; we had a woman come in to teach us different phrases in Gaelic. I think...

First Night Out!

Dublin = amazing! Originally my plan for my first night here was to go to bed wicked early because I was so tired from my long day. Also, with the time difference I basically didn’t have a Wednesday night. But Megan wanted to go to City Centre for some dinner and drinks so I figured sleep...

Céad míle fáilte go hÉirinn

Guinness Brewery

After careful consultation with our trusty Lonely Planet book -complete with trusty map- we made our way towards the Guinness Brewery for a squiz at how the black stuff is made and a taste test. It didn't look too far on the map, a few blocks this way, a few blocks that way and hey presto you'd...

Dublin day 2: cow market, temple bar, metal aliens and old photos

Taxi, bus, train, plane, bus, foot work and BED!

3am is well too early to be up and about and eating breakfast, but it was an ungodly act we had to undergo in order to make it to Dublin today. Our plane was leaving Heathrow at 11.30am, but as we had to make our way from Bristol it was quite an ordeal to make it there in time. We caught a...
