Monday September 15th 2008-09-15
We woke up to the sun today... I didn’t think that could happen here, but it did. We hit up the toast and jam with coffee/tea at about 7:30 and went back to bed... unfortunately I ate way too much toast and jam and I felt ill, I had a tough time falling asleep. We check out at ten but decided to stay in our room for a couple extra hours until the cleaning staff came in and gave us the boot. We moved the party into the lounge room of the hostel until we had to leave to catch our bus back to Dublin. The Bus ride was shitty, there were three super annoying Irish girls sitting behind me and one to the side... it’s a damn good thing I had two seats to myself and I had a fully charged iPod. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good Irish girl accent but not these fools... as if I want to hear them gossip about their friend trying to stay at another friend’s apartment for free... tools. I had a splendid MacDo strawberry shake to take me away from Cork, the shake was accompanied by some above par fresh fruit and a ciabatta loaf. After 4 hours or so of trying to sleep in every position possible we arrived in Cork where I took the most relieving pee of my life. While debating on how to get to the airport we over-heard some security dude giving directions to the airport via Dublin transit which is 4euro cheaper than taking the god damn bus Eireanne or whatever it’s called... I’ll call it the bus-company-run-by-big-assholes because basically all the bus drivers we had so far were just that sort. So we walked down the street and grabbed a 41 to the Dublin Airport. The Dublin airport sucks except for skateboarding.... Sheen and I went on a glorious skate adventure and found some killer manual pads and some rockin downhill parkade jams. After we sweated harder than ever we found a nice little green bench in front of the closed up MacDo on the second floor where we spent a few hours having the worst sleep of our lives. Whatever, atleast we had MacDo breakfast to look forward to.
So excited to get off of this giant isle covered in fenced off everything, security cameras, right-side drive cars, weird toilets, over priced everything and reckless drivers who drive on the wrong side of the road... I’ll come back here someday though... the countryside is totally worth it.
Spain in less than a day, gnarly.
