Dublin once more - Blogabond

Another slow, leisurely morning with check out at 11am. We took our time, had a nice brekki before heading off to the bus station to try for a bus to Dublin. We got there with only 5 mins to wait, which we were impressed with. We knew the bus would be slow, but we didn’t realize just how slow. 3 hours of jolting along, bouncing up and down in slightly squashy seats. It wasn’t so bad, we were able to take in the landscape of Ireland that we missed on our own travels, and it was nice to be going somewhere by road and not have to be looking for the turn offs and signs!

Back to the Dublin Backpackers once more, it is feels like home and we are so comfortable here. We had a little rest before we head out into the city centre which was a little quiet given it is a Sunday. We did a little grocery shopping for the next two days and head back to cook dinner. Really, not a very interesting day, but it was another chilled out one that was nice. It’s really nice to have some time to just do mundane things and I think we have too do this from time to time just so we can recharge our batteries and be ‘normal’ being on the go all day everyday is fun, but it isn’t so healthy really, we need time to stop and do ‘chores’ like washing and grocery shopping.

We will be in Dublin another day, before we head back to the UK for a little time where I will see TAKE THAT! You can’t begin to imagine my excitement! It’s been such a long time coming and the wait for my tickets to arrive has been an anxious one (tickets only get sent out a week before the concert, mine was sent only yesterday, it now has to be sent onto another address where I will pick it up.. it was touch and go there for awhile if it would arrive in time, but I think we can all breath a sigh of relieve now and say that it’s all okay and it WILL arrive in time) after this, we will head to Europe for a while. We are both excited about the next few weeks, and so for this reason, I’m glad we’re having these few days of “nothing” to just relax.
