Day Two & Three

Day Two

Yesterday was a blast :) To start the day, we woke up bright and early and headed down to the bar for our continental breakfast. We hung out in the room for most of the afternoon, sleeping, and still adjusting to the time difference. After taking a much needed nap, we headed out in search of a sushi restaurant that my Frommer's guide had given great reviews. We walked around town for about an hour and ended up not being able to find it, so we settled on a cute Irish tavern just down the street from our hotel. Around 6:30, we got ready for our traditional Irish music pub crawl. The only non-Americans on the tour were our two guides, a Swedish couple, and a few of German sisters. Overall, it was pretty fun, but very touristy. It ended up being more music oriented and less pub crawl-esk, which was fine with us because we ended up going out on our own pub crawl later that night :)

Day Three 

Well, this morning was about as chaotic as the night that we ended with. Today was suppose to be our train tour to Cork. We had to be at the train station at 6:40am to redeem our vouchers, with the train departing at 7. Because we accidentally stayed out WAY past our bedtime, we slept through both of our wake up calls. We didn't even get out of bed until the concierge came up to our room at 6:30. At first, I was so proud of us because we got ready in less than 5 min and had called a cab to come ASAP. Unfortunately, our cabbie didn't understand that we had a train to catch, and didn't show up to the hotel until 7! By the time we got to the train station, our tour had already left (we missed it by 5min!!!). Luckily, the tour guide company let us change our trip to tomorrow :) After the morning's disaster, we went back to the hotel to sleep off our hangovers. Eventually, we forced ourselves out of bed and did a little bit of souvenir shopping and went out to a fancy dinner at a restaurant called Darwins. Since then, we went out to pick up some groceries and are planning on taking it EASY tonight. Bed by 10:30 and train tour to Cork tomorrow :)
