Both Brad and I are making a post here on Cool Your Throats, adjacent to each other, looking out onto a Irish street, in its capital, Dublin. First impressions: cool city.
Nightmare which is travelling. Skipping everything at the camp site in Wales, we walked from the campsite into Newport (the small camping town), caught a 15 minute bus to Fishguard, caught a ferry from there to Ireland (3 and a half hours), then waited and hour and fifteen for the 3 and a half hour bus trip we were to talk to Dublin. Using Brads Lonely Planet travel guide, we took to the streets, me clasping the tent, Brad clasping "Rodrigo". Midnight - city still alight.
Fighting of the possibility in our minds that the hostel had a curfew and then in turn - would be closed, we trudged on - admiring nightclub after bar after nightclub. There it was. In all its grandeur - the Avalon Hostel - and it was groooovy. (And still open - Whew!!)
Settle in. Choose beds. What next? Sleep would seem the most logical thing. Us being logical guys - we instead choose the Bar. About a 200 metre walk, we settle in (so stupid, but an American themed bar - I mean, why choose an American themed bar for your first drink in Ireland?) ...Irrespective, we got pints of Guinness. Why? For Gods sake - I have NO IDEA!!!
NEVER AGAIN!!!!
(Which, in fact, is the exact same thing brad declared at the start of the trip: he said "SHOWERS....NEVER AGAIN!") Someone get a guerney!!! And Metho.
