Crazy Adventure to Ireland – 13.3.2010
First let me help you understand what I meant by crazy. Our schedule started by catching a bus at 4:09a.m. the 13th of March to the train station. There we waited in the creepily empty, as in a horror film way, train station for about 45 minutes to depart from Venice to Milan. Upon arriving in Milan we had to catch another bus to the airport take a plane to Dublin. Yet again we took a double decker bus to the Dublin train station for our train to Killarney for the weekend. Travel time from the take off of the first bus to us walking into our Hostel was 17 hours. We made it just fine through the beginning luckily because we remembered to bring our permit of stay making it much simpler and less stressful. When on the plane I was in awe of the amazing Swiss Alps poking through the clouds. I never really had a strong desire to go to Switzerland, there were too many other countries I preferred see first. Now I am sure I would like to go snowboarding there. They were the most beautiful mountains I have seen. Vale does not compare. On the double decker bus from the Dublin airport I experienced what it was like to be traveling on the wrong side of the road or just the other side depending on how you want to look at it. Driving through Dublin was a nice change with all its modern buildings and signs with English everywhere. After checking into our hostel we walked the main street looking for a place to grab dinner when we stumbled across an Irish fast food place. Across the street we got our first Guiness beer before we headed back which helped us fall fast asleep. We were excited to see there were other groups of students staying there also. They changed our minds that night when we were trying to get some shut eye from the full day of traveling in an uncomfortably hot room because we were abruptly awoken by there drunk bums being loud and obnoxious.
