Well here we are in Dublin, Ireland. Lovely to be met at the airport by John and see a familiar face last night. We are so lucky to have lovely accommodation and hosts - the Fairleys.
It's freezing cold and wet here today - lucky we packed a few warm clothes! It's off to explore Dublin.
Dropped off at bus stop to catch the 46A to the city with instructions to return later in day.
Umbrellas in definite need! Walked about and snapped a few of the tourist spots.
Pretty wet and cold walking about so we decide after walking down Temple Bar to pop into one of the pubs to thaw out and listen to some Irish music.
Temple Bar
Headed to catch bus home as per instructions - 46A - thought it was strange that there was no one left on bus - driver said last stop Phoenix Park - everyone off. We were in the middle of nowhere, miles from Foxrock Church, where we were to get off. Jumped in a taxi - 25 euros later back at the Fairleys.
Transpires we caught the bus on the wrong side of street!!
We made it back in time to go out for dinner to a local Indian restaurant. Delicious! At the restaurant treated to a display by a crazy Irishman - he began whacking our table with a napkin - said he was catching mosquitoes - (none to be seen anywhere) whacked chairs, floor, etc. Michelle and I were in hysterics. Poor man's wife was so embarrassed and apologised for his behaviour - loved it - true Irish
spirit!
spirit!
Hilarious - I love it! Hope you got it on video! I had a similar experience with a bus in Melbourne - was waiting for ages for the right bus but was on the wrong side of the road.
ReplyDeleteIt was hilarious. There are some real characters out and about!
