Europe » United Kingdom » England » Greater London » London City May 30th 2009

We woke up early Saturday morning and walked around Dublin. We checked out of our hostel around 10 and headed to the airport. Our flight lasted around an hour. We then followed the signs to the train station and ended up getting on the slowest train ever, or as the guy behind us said 'This is the bloody slowest train ever!!!!' .. we love listening to them talk. An hour later we were in London. We checked in to our hostel, which is the prettiest place ever. The walls are hot pink and the floors are covered in glitter. It doesn't take much to amuse us haha. We then walked over to London Bridge, which is around 5 minutes away and seen it. Then we walked along the river and found something to eat. We ended ... read more

Europe » Ireland » County Dublin » Dublin May 29th 2009

(This is the second part of May 29th) After checking in to our hostel (which is awesome) we decided to go to Howth, Ireland. Howth is around 30 minutes away from Dublin and we took a train/tram/subway type thing to get there (we're not certain what it was). While walking to the train station, a guy that was walking there too started talking to us. His name was PJ and he lived in Dublin. He was amazed that we only had one middle name and so he decided that we needed an additional one as well. He gave us the names Francheska (spell?) for Amber and Florence for Sam. Everyone we came across in Dublin were very friendly and welcoming. We reached Howth (pronounced like 'both') and this town is probably the most beautiful place either ... read more

Hey Everyone!! We just made it to Dublin. Our flight was supposed to leave New York last night at 9:40 but it got delayed for over 3 hours. We got here somewhere around 1pm their time. We took a bus in to town and just got off it and was walking to our hostel (St. John Gogarty's) and found an internet cafe along the way so we stopped by. So far everything is going great. We're going to go check in and then go to a nearby town (Howth) and see the cliffs that overlook the ocean. We'll put up some pictures later. I will try to update this more tomorrow. --Am & Sam P.S. Thanks for the messages everyone, I'm not certain yet how to write back on here yet, but we got them = ... read more
