Last day in Dublin!

8/21/2021

Hello everybody, this has been the last day in Dublin!
The day started early, as I need to go to the bathroom, and I chilled for a bit, wanting to rest from yesterday.
I went out at about 12pm, and went down south, going to to Mount Jerome, which is a cemetary. For some reason I do find cemetaries interesting.
After that I headed back to the hostel and charged my phone, I decided to walk along the river to the docks, but it started pouring down. So I walked back to the hostel, totally soaked.
After a while it started to clear, so I headed out again. It was also getting sunny. So I went to the docks and a park called Ringends Park. After that, I headed for a late dinner, and headed back to the hostel.
The hostel, Kinlay House, is ok, but not spectacular. If you need somewhere to sleep, it might suit you, but don´t expect anything really fancy. The breakfast is very small amongst other things.
Dublin itself is really nice, it was just a big shame that it has rained almost the whole time. Cork was also nice, the little I saw from it.
I would definitely come back here to Dublin and also wanting to explore the rest of the country.

Hello Everybody! Today I have been in Cork!
The day started very early, since my sleep were terrible. Woke up at 2am, and going in and out of sleep until 5am. In which I gave up.
I went to the train station at 7am, since I wanted to catch the 8a train to Cork, as it was a quite a long train ride! During the ride, I fell asleep for a bit.
I arrived in Cork at around 10.30. It was drizzling. I walked to the centre of town and had a look around. I then headed south, going to the Elizabeth fort, and had a look, while being in the area of St Fin barre cathedral. It was very interesting.
After that I headed down to the Lake, which was interesting too.
After the lake, I headed down to the St Fin Barre cemetary, and after that I decided to head back, since by this time, I have walked quite a lot. So I walked the long way back to the trainstation, and took the train back to Dublin. During the ride, I talked with an Irishman, which was awesome.
I then walked back to the hostel and has chilled ever since!

Hello everybody! This was the first whole day in Dublin!
The day started quite early, as I woke up at 6am, nedded to go to the bathroom! After that I chilled for a bit until breakfast at 8am. They didn´t have a lot to offer, so I had some toast. I chilled some more, and had a nap.
I decided to head out at 10.30 and walked to the Dublin castle and had a look. Then I walked to St Patricks Cathedral.
I then took the long walk to the Wellington Monument and walked past the Dublin Zoo. I had the idea to go in, but you had to prebook a ticket, which I didn´t. So I walked past it, and started to head back.
I walked along the river Liffy, which runs through the city. Which was nice! I then ehaded back to the hostel and chilled for a bit, and recharging my phone. i then headed out for dinner, walking the Temple Bar area, which was getting to get crowded. After dinner I headed to Merrion Square park and chilled for a bit.
After that, I headed back and bought some supplies for tomorrow, as I plan to head to Cork tomorrow for a day trip.

Arriving in Dublin!

Hello, I have arrived in Dublin Ireland!
The Day started very early, since I went to bed quite late, and couldn´t really fall asleep. I´m guessing it both bad sleeping patterns and nervousness for this trip!
So I chilled on the computer a little bit until a taxi came and picked me up at 5am!
The Check in was different this time, they checked if I was fully vaccinated and if I had a locator form, as was expected.
The flight ran smoothly and I managed to go to my flight to Dublin, as it was only 50min between flights. The Flight to Dublin was late though, was over 30min late.
But It didn´t really matter, as I arrived at the hostel at around 12pm. I left my bag and headed out, as check in to the hostel were about 2pm.
So I headed to the National Botanical Garden, which was quite a long walk. It was very interesting. After a while, I headed back to the hostel and chilled for a bit, charging my phone. I then headed out for dinner and had a burger from Five Guys. I then headed to Molly Malone Statue, and headed back, catching a Luke Kelly Statue, who is known from The Dubliners which actually sang a song about Molly Malone!
Then I headed back to the hostel, and has chilled ever since.
This will be an early night, since I´m really tired! I will need a shower first though! We will see what I will do tomorrow!

Hello, It´s been a long time since I have written anything, since my last trip actually!
As the title says, I´m going to a short notice trip. To Dublin, Ireland! It´s been quite a while since I have been abroad and it has been a long time since I have been to Dublin!
I´m having over a week off, so I wanted to head out. I know it´s risky, with everything going on in the world. But I am fully vaccinated and will be careful. I will be flying early in the morning, and will arrive in Dublin quite early in Dublin!
What will I do in Dublin?
I will just chill and walk around town. Maybe even take a day trip to Cork. I will only be in Dublin for a couple of days, wednesday to sunday!
