I'm writing really early today because I'm about to leave to find a bus to Belfast, in Northern Ireland. I won't be able to post again until Sunday night, so I figured I'd show you what's happening this weekend now.
So Alice, possibly Courtney, and I are going to find a bus to Belfast. There are several routes, including one from Galway to Belfast (with a couple bus changes), or one from here to Dublin Airport, then straight to Belfast. We're not sure yet how it will work--just as long as we get there!
Once we're there, we have two beds booked in The Linen House Hostel (which we will hopefully be able to find in the dark!). The bus will be a bit expensive, so this is the cheapest hostel we could find (7.50 euros a night).
For Saturday, we booked a tour through Paddywagon's Tour Company that will take us around some famous sites in the area. Since we don't know our way around the city or countryside up there, we figured getting a tour would be nice.
Sunday, however, we're just going to wander around the market and find some of the famous sites within the city before we have to catch a bus back down to Galway. Again, we'll have to figure that out on the fly...so cross your fingers!
I'm a little worried about the bus part, but otherwise I think this weekend should be lots of fun. Technically, we're going to a different country, so we can finally say we've gone somehow besides western Ireland! I'll be sure to take lots of pictures, don't worry, and hopefully have some funny stories to tell.
So that's the plan! I'll let you know how it turned out on Sunday!
Good...afternoon!?
