And the next stop...Ireland

We didn’t have to get up too terribly early today to get our travel day started.  We had ordered a cab to come at 11 so I don’t think we got up til almost 10 to do our last minute packing and eat a little something for breakfast.   Then off we were, to the train station where we would get our train back to Edinburgh.  Then from the train station we took the bus back to the airport.  We allowed ourselves more time than necessary to make our flight.  So we wound up sitting around the airport for awhile once again but I guess I’d rather that than rushing around and running to make our flight. 

Spent my last few pounds getting something to eat and then before you know it we were boarding the plane and off to the final country in our European tour, Ireland.  The flight was quick, just 45 minutes.  And then we were in Dublin.  That’s not the final destination for the day though so once we got through the passport check and collected our bags we set off to find a bus that would take us to galway.  We didn’t end up finding the exact bus that we had found online, but we did find another one I had looked at.  It wasn’t leaving for another 50 minutes, but it worked.  So we sat on the bus awhile but we did get going eventually and we should get into galway a little after 9 if all goes as plan.  I don’t have as good of an idea of what I want to do while here so we’re going to have a bit of fun just winging it.  Hopefully all will go well.

We got into galway and everything went fine.  The hotel was just a few minutes walk from the bus station.  We got checked in and went up to the room which had a purple door which was just awesome.  Also one of the walls of the room was purple so that was pretty cool too.  We also had a little balconey which was nice.  It was already after 9 when we got in and we had had a long day of traveling so we didn’t go out and do anything that night.  We did book a tour for the next day though.  And then we just spent some time relaxing in the room.  We were definitely looking forward to the next day of seeing beautiful irish scenery though.
