  • Day 4

    Showday Dublin 3Arena

    April 17 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    We started around 9 with the merch team and kicked off the day with a classic English breakfast.

    It was a pretty chill merchandise day for us. The merch had been shipped in from France, already pre-sorted and counted, so all we had to do was locate everything and make sure the local crew was set and ready to go.

    That left me with a bit of extra time, so I started doing hair earlier than usual and got to really enjoy the catering—honestly, the best one we’ve had on the tour so far.

    During warrior training, we focused on Tenet. I got a bit grumpy—probably hormonal. We learned a new prayer for the goddess, and the amulet chose me to embody her on stage tonight. It felt fitting, since my period is about to start—there’s probably no stronger symbol of femininity than that.

    I started collecting greens for the crown and began working on it, only to realize (a little too late) that it was crawling with bugs. I’d already had it in my hands, and soon the dressing room was full of them.

    I ran out to search for new greens, which turned out to be surprisingly difficult in Dublin—it’s not the greenest city, apparently, and I assume every leaf is already claimed by a bug. Still, I managed to find some wild bits and put together a crown for tonight.

    Dinner catering was incredible again, and the ritual felt especially strong. Since I was up on the riser for two songs, my feet didn’t hurt as much either.

    And then, right during the show, the moment I had the goddess amulet on, I started getting cramps and actually began bleeding. The effect was immediate and powerful. It's wild how real this ritual energy gets—like the body just knows.

    We wrapped the night with an easy merch load-out and a drink on the bus.

    A sunny and chill visit in Dublin

    February 25 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

    After a few calls for work and letting Morgan waking up progressively, we were able to start our day.
    Morgan took control of the visits for the day (with some help) and a map in hand, he guided us.

    A picnic in the park and unfortunately the zoological museum and the natural museum were closed so we went to the archeological one and we roamed around the city.Read more

    Kosmata limona

    January 29 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

    Sem pobegnil sam s Kindlom na kosilce v Hairy Lemon pub, 5 min stran od hotela.

    Pub mi je priporočil irski sodelavec, je pa zanimiv znotraj, ves polepljen s starimi bankovci... in pa, seveda, Guiness kot prva izbira pivca.

    Im še dodatno: tule so menda snemali določene scene filma Commitments... moram mal po YouTubu poiskat...

    Kurzurlaub auf der grünen Insel

    January 13 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    Wir reisten mit dem Flugzeug von Frankfurt am Main an. In etwas weniger als 2 Stunden, brachte uns die Maschine der AerLingus sicher zur grünen Insel.
    Obwohl wir am Flughafen Dublin noch schauten mit welcher Buslinie wir fahren können, verkaufte uns ein tüchtiger Verkäufer teure Tickets für den FlughafenExpressBus. Bei der Rückfahrt waren wir dann schlauer 😏.
    Unser Hotel war sauber, liegt optimal für Ausflüge und die Servicekräfte waren hilfsbereit und nett. In den Akzent in Dublin mussten wir uns zuerst hineinhören, aber dann klappte die Verständigung gut. Nachdem wir eingecheckt hatten, machten wir uns auf den Weg, um die Stadt ein wenig zu erkunden. Ihr könnt euch selbst einen Eindruck verschaffen, wenn ihr die Fotos betrachtet. Viel Spaß dabei. 😊

    London Week #4 Pt. 2

    October 25, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    Had to do a whole post for the Dublin, Ireland weekend trip because we did so much!! I put captions on a lot of them to explain specifics but overall, the other Cal Lu students and I who went really enjoyed it! We spent Friday exploring the cobblestone streets and went to some local spots. The second day we went on an incredible tour through parts of Ireland outside of Dublin and had an amazing tour guide who played music, made jokes, told us about Irish culture, and gave us free candy for the 13hr day. The last day we did another tour through the Guinness Storehouse which was a great way to end our weekend.Read more

  • Day 39

    Dublin

    October 11, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    Leaving on 15th so great to have a catch up with my girlfriend and her husband whom I’ve not seen for 28 years but kept in touch. To meet 2/3 of their gorgeous boys is great too. The night I arrived we went out for dinner along with others of the extended family to Hartleys - a very nice restaurant down by the yacht clubs.
    Next morning we took the dart (coast train) in to town, had a look about and did the hop on hop off bus and saw the sights of Dublin.
    Coming back we got off early and walked around Dalkey (so cute) - Helen insisted I must have my first Guinness which I admit surprised me for the better. Apparently Finnegan’s is a very good one (Bono’s local and others of that set).
    Looking out to and seeing along the coast where these nutters swim all year round was lovely and the absolutely gorgeous big homes looking out to it all.
    Next day to Pariscourt - incredible gardens and beautiful shops and outstanding lunch!
    Then to Wicklow - a great walk around the coast and through farmland. Afternoon tea with D and Neal and popped in to Moira’s. A good day of more very fresh air! (Freezing) but beautiful.
    Next day I hopped on the Luas (tram) and looked around Dundrum and met Helen. Just milling about. And next morning - head home!

  • Day 16

    The Merry Ploughboy

    September 22, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    This morning we boarded the bus in Tralee and drove back to Dublin. It is normally a 3.5 hour drive and we took about 4.5 hours . Celeste and I made a sandwich at the breakfast buffet as we expected our lunch stop would be another truck stop. We did stop at a truck stop and most people grabbed chips, pop and other snacks.

    Once we arrived we checked in and I walked about 6 km to our 2 previous hotels we stayed in Dublin . I was missing a couple of things and I thought in the off chance they maybe in the lost and found at the other hotels ( they were not).

    This hotel is not the best of the stay, we are actually on the wrong side of Dublin near the train station. The room is not the best and the hotel is old . We just ready to get home and sleep in our own bed . We overlook the train tracks. For those My Cousin Vinny fans, “ it is highly unusual for the 5 am train to come by” we definitely hear the trains.

    Tonight was our final group dinner . We went to The Merry Ploughboy Pub for an evening of traditional Irish Food, song , entertainment and dance . The food was very good, the beers and whiskey were awesome and the entertainment was fabulous. Everyone in our group had a great time .

    Immerhin kein Regen

    September 22, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    Vorsichtig aber wirklich ganz vorsichtig, habe ich heute als erstes durch den Vorhangspalt geblinzelt um zu schauen ob das Wetter wirklich so schlecht ist wie angesagt. Das würde ja die Schönheit von dieser Stadt noch unterstreichen. Welch eine Überraschung, es regnet nicht und dies sollte auch den ganzen Tag so bleiben, wobei ich sagen muss, es war ja auch schon fast die Hälfte des Tages vorbei. Bis wir nämlich aus den Federn kamen resp aus unserem Tiny Zimmer war bereits 11.30 Uhr.
    Es verschlug uns in die Gegenrichtung des Touri-Zentrum, schon fast ein wenig unheimlich, Sonntags in einer Stadt ohne Personen. Wir fanden ein herrlich, kleines Kaffee mit herrlich überrissenen Preisen dafür ein herrliches alternatives Gebäck mit den dazugehörigen Leuten ( lustige Kleider und lustige Frisuren)
    Nun ging es weiter zur Busstation von unserem roten, sehr unterhaltsamen Bus. Luni war schon voller Vorfreude. Heute jedoch, war er besser und erzählte uns viel mehr als gestern. Wir strandeten irgendwann in den Docklands. Hier hatte es aber überraschend viele Leute und wir fragen uns von wo all diese Leute kamen.
    Mittlerweile war breites Nachmittag und wir mussten schauen, dass wir rechtzeitig an unserem nächsten Busevent waren. Ich hatte einen Afternoon Tea in einem Vintage Bus gebucht. Ja, stimmt, wir hätten uns die andere Tour sparen können . Die Frage ist nur, was hätten wir dann gemacht 🤪
    Nach dem lustigen Afternoon Tea schlichen wir uns zurück ins Hotel und blieben da für die nächsten paar Stunden. Das Abendessen stand an und damit auch dr Bunti-Obe🤣 Heute hauen wir auf den Putz!!!
    Wir zogen uns unsere schönsten paar Schuhe an, schlichen runter in die Hotelbar, assen da eine Portion Muschel und gingen wieder rauf…..
    Sensationell sag ich euch. Wie gut wenn man einen Reisepartner hat, der mehr oder weniger auf der gleichen Wellenlänge ist.
    Man stelle sich nun vor, ich hätte noch Party machen müssen bis in aller Nacht in Temple Bar (Partyviertel)…….
