Ben-B-Bloggin

We didn’t stay in Ireland only 3 days, so let tell you the rest of our trip.

Day 4, Cork
After the joy of Waterford, we took a bus to Cork. The bus trip was nice, it was a pretty clear day, the tide was low. My dad, as usually stuck up a conversation with some old catholic chick and the state of religion in the world, or at least in Ireland. thats always interesting to me. yeah right.

We arrived in cork, walked all around the city looking for a internet cafe or a B&B, found neither. Went to get some food, because after walking all around Cork with my bag i was pretty hungry and needed a break.
But that was a good idea, because at the restaurant, i.e Quizmo’s subs we meet a nice little girl name Shaneed, who walked us to the internet cafe, which we had walked right by earlier. From there we were able to find some B&B and get ready for the night.

For me, Cork was my favorite city. After finding the B&B and getting rid of our stuff we were able to explore the town, it was Sunday so the market was out on the street. Dad tried a Irish bratwurst, but after having Irish a breakfast I was in no mood to try any more sausages.

After dinner we ended up bar hopping, (like every night), searching for live music. I had a great time, we were at one bar, the old oak, they had some cover band that was covering some British group. The music was pretty good and the place was packed, but the beers were 5 euros a pop, so that set me back a little. My dad disappeared down the street to a quieter bar so i don’t think he had so much fun. But I enjoyed cork.

Day 5, Schull
The next day we headed to Schull, why Schull you ask, well I don’t know, We wanted to go to the west coast of Ireland and Schull just happened to be were the last bus stop was. We got off the bus and looked up and there was a B&B, not wanted to reenact the prior couple of days of walking around with all of our stuff on our backs, we went in and booked it. The B&B was owned by a very nice family and the rooms were very nice. My dad and I got a separate room for the first time all trip. Man that was nice.

Day 6 Limmerik
Limerick wasn’t a well planned destination, actually we decided to go about 20 mins. before the bus left. We wanted to go to Galway but we didn’t want to arrive there in the middle of the night.
My first impression of Limerick wasn’t a good one, let me say, it was like the ghetto near the bus/train station. The next morning when we woke up, I got a different view of the city, but not big enough to recommend it to anyone.

Day 7 Dublin II
for the last day we were back in Dublin, on the train we got a meet a really nice lady named Laura. She was heading to the Goo Goo Dolls concert and was living in Cork, even though she said she wasn’t enjoying it much. Dublin the second time was pretty much like the second one, except we were used to the price of Beer and food. For the second time we stayed in the Blooms Hotel in the Temple Bar The Hotel is fine if you plan on partying till 3 am every night, if you aren’t don’t book it because there is a Disco in basement.

Dad, as usual, got drunk and went to bed pretty early, I stayed up and went to that disco that was underneath our hotel. The club was pretty boring and really empty, just a bunch of other single tourists. The next morning we woke up and for the first time it was raining. oh well i guess our trip is over.
