this morning i woke up to the smell of breakfast (about 8am) and found that everyone was sitting at the table waiting for me. preben (morten's boyfriend) had cooked an amazing breakfast for everyone and luckily they had coffee as well.

after breakfast, morten and preben had to go to work, so peter and mette (morten's brother and cousin) decided to take me out to see the city. we went to the mall first (apparently one of the biggest malls in europe) just to look around and get some groceries for dinner. it felt like a bit of a tease because we didn't have much time... i'll go back tomorrow. i saw a huge H&M... jana, i'll buy you something.

anyway, then we got home and went to meet morten for birthday lunch at an indian restaurant by his work. so good. after lunch, we thought we would go downtown and see dublin.

we took a cab to city centre and walked to find a specific bar that peter liked, called "The Temple Bar".

we stayed there far too long talking to people from pretty much every country in the world and drinking lots of guinness. then when we realized we were late for birthday dinner, we caught a cab home.

we had an amazing dinner at home, then went back to the temple bar. so that's where i've been for about the last 5 hours, drinking beer, singing irish songs, and talking to people from all over the world. one guy actually asked me to marry him so i could stay in Ireland... i thought about it, but regretfully declined... as i thought it was a little soon.

anyway, what i've seen of dublin is beautiful so far. everyone is so amazing and polite, even the cab drivers are so excited that i'm here visiting Ireland. peter and mette are leaving back to Denmark tomorrow, unfortunately, so i'll be alone from here on in. luckily i think i can find my way around now that i've been around with them. and they offered me a place to stay and a guide when i go to Denmark next week.

i think i'm going to be happy here.

love you all, miss everyone, slainte.

At the rate the diary is increasing in size, I'll need a new computer next week! Fun stuff...and excellent writing skills, I might add. This could turn into a bestselling travel novel. Good-on-ya-mate!
