Day 2: Kilkenny to Switzerland

We had to rush the end of the drumming not so much because we were in danger of missing our plane, but rather because the bus driver had someplace to be after dropping us off.  This meant we have no time for lunch after we stopped drumming.   

We were so sad to leave and a big shout-out to Kate O'Brien and Tommy Hackett for planning and implementing such fun and engaging and challenging events. 

On the drive to the Dublin airport, they finally told us that we were heading to Switzerland and we had a 2 hour drive from the airport to our hotel.   This means that for those people who managed to find food at the Dublin airport (we did) it had been about 8 hours since breakfast. For those who didn't it was even longer. 

By the time we landed, and got our luggage, and found some food at the airport (for those who didn't find anything in Dublin), and boarded our bus, it was 11:30. Well we did lose an hour to time zones, but nonetheless, it was late.

We got to the hotel at 1:30 and even though I kept telling myself we had to be up and on the bus at 8 am, my brain wouldn't listen and I didn't fall asleep until 3 am. 

Russell bought a bottle of wine at the airport, but there were no wine glasses in the room. So he decided straight from the bottle was better than paper cups.Read more
