The Coast in Bundooran

This is on the beach in Bundoran. One of our nice days since we didn't have to many of them.

Hey Everyone, How's it going? Hope all is well at home. I've now been in Ireland for 2 weeks. The two nights we stayed in Dublin were a lot of fun. We left Dublin on the Firday morning to catch a bus to Bundoran. We had to catch the tram to the bus station and we couldn't find it so we asked a guy to direct us to the tram station. We thought we had found it cause the sign said Temporary Garda Station!!!! We all went in with our packs on and knocked on the window. A man with a uniform came to the window and Dana said we'd like to go to Busarus Station. He looked at us kinda wierd and said ok. I thought it was kinda wierd that he never told us how much. So Dana just ask how much for the ticket and we had start pulling out our wallets to pay. That's when he informed us that it was the police station not the bus station!!!!!! We were laughing so hard and Dana turned around and said ok we don't want your kind of tickets then! So for anyone that didn't know Garda means

The winds were so crazy that the sand was flying around everywhere.

Police!!!!!! The officer came out through the door and guided us out to show us that the tram ticket booth was about 5 steps down the road. We were laughing soo hard. The tram was packed with people and we ended up having to get on different trams and meeting at the station. The bus ride was 4 hours long and because Bundoran is so small we had no idea where we were going cause its not on a map. There was a nice lady on the bus that explained to us were we were going and a little history about Ireland. Like any town that starts with bally, like Ballyshannon means Town of Shannon.

We arrived in Bundoran and its gorgeous here. Its like White Rock without the crowds. The ocean is amazing and as soon as I arrive in Glasglow I'll upload the photos onto my travel blog. I've now been in Bundoran for two weeks and I've realized that all they do is eat and drink!!! My cousin Leanne took me out last Saturday night to a pub called The Kickin Donkey and it was karoke night. However most of you know that I don't get

This is what you see when you walk around Roughy.

up onto stage unless I'm really drunk!!! So out came the shots of tequila. I HATE TEQUILA!!! By the time I picked a song that hadn't been sung yet the pub was shutting down. AHHH to bad for me and for the locals. We headed down to a night club called Jumpin Jacks. Its wierd here cause everything starts soo much later than home. We got to Jumpin Jacks at 1:30am and walked right in and by 2 - 230am it was packed. Lots of techno music here. Everyone piled out of the club at 430am and headed up the street to this tiny Chinese Take Away Shop. We couldn't even stand in the shop cause it was packed with people. They must make a killing. I wish I had my camera cause all the people that had there food were sitting on the curb of the street eating their free prawn chips that you get free with a 20 dollar purchase. It was soo funny.

St.Patrick's day is tomorrow, so tonight we are going to watch the hills have eyes and drink a few bottles of wine with the girls. I'm a little scared about tomorrow night cause

Ocean in Bundoran

all we have been hearing is everyone is done before dinner! There's a parade at 3pm and then its just a big drink fest. I'll try and take some photos to remember my day with....lol......Sunday night we are catching a bus to Dublin so we can fly back to Glasgow to get ready for Spain.

Lots of Love
Kel
