    Inch Island

    February 12, 2018 in Ireland ⋅ 🌙 0 °C

    I was sick the whole night. Too much Chinese food 😅
    Had a good vomit and probably woke up the whole damn household but it couldn't be helped.
    I tried the floor again - yeahhh wasn't gonna happen lol.

    Was up by 10:30 and Laura's mum put on the same feast. I really do like the white pudding. Laura didn't have work today so she joined us.

    We then watched some more Olympics cause it was snowing.

    I met their cat that isn't actually their cat...
    what a cutie!! Very plump.
    She liked pats but isn't allowed in the house.

    The fire hadn't yet been put on so I was freaking FREEZING.
    They soon got it going for me. 😅

    I enquired if we were going to do anything today or if the weather was too bad but it cleared up so we headed out.

    Polar came with us. She sat in the back.
    She makes sooooo much damn noise!
    It was still shitty weather and the snow coming at the window made me flinch.
    We drove to Dunree fort. It was freeeeezing. My face was gonna fall off.
    The fort was on the waters edge hence the cold.
    It was an old army barracks but Laura couldn't really tell us more than that. She told us she learnt about it in school but it has been a while lol (she is 36)
    We basically came because it's pretty. The fort itself wasn't even open so we walked around the area a bit.
    Polar did 3 huge poos. Impressive.

    We got some happy snaps then left.
    Next we drove to Mamore gap. This was the best bot of the day but the windows were so foggy it was sometimes hard to see and Laura had a big Jesus/Mary charm thing dangling from her mirror it blocked half my view - it was huge.
    (I had swapped to the back tonne with polar)

    Mamore gap is basically just a road that goes between two mountains.
    It was beautiful though. Ireland really is lovely.

    Drive drive drive. Polar still yapping away.

    Laura took us to Harry's pub which is where she works and bought us a hot toddy.
    It's hot whiskey.
    Any other day I would have passed but you have too in Ireland.
    God it was awful hahah I had to help Will finish his.
    Polar was just walking around the pub as dogs do...
    An area Australia could improve on 😂😂

    Laura had resent me the bus tickets but the email never came through so she called the bus company.
    "I'm sorry our electronic systems don't work on weekends - you will get the email on Monday"
    .............
    Erm what.
    How bloody ridiculous.
    They were like pay the bus driver and you will get a refund.
    YEAH EXCEPT WHEN YOU BUY FROM THE DRIVER THE PRICE GOES UP €10.
    Which won't be compensated.... STUPID.

    Anyways.

    We then went back home, i packed and Laura's mum cooked a delicious home meal I nearly cried - THEY HAD GRAVY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
    Tried some Yorkshire pudding.

    It was meats, veggies potatoes etc.
    sooo goooood.

    Left and went to the bus stop.
    Paid the driver 45€........ not impressed.... and got on.

    Have Laura a bigggg hug. It was so good to see her. I find her so funny.

    The bus should have taken 3 hour but took 5 😓

    Our hostel was at least next to the bus station so that bit was easy.
    Checked in then went to get dinner.

    Shitty rooms and nowhere to charge your phone but everything else seems sound.
