Three Days of Travel

---

Day One - The Hague to Brussels
This should've only taken 1 1/2hrs but trains were delayed and connections had to be made and 3 1/2hrs later we were finally in Brussels. We decided against the Van Gogh hostel since the q-tip experience really grossed us out. So we stayed at a place called Sleep Well. It was amazing! Just like a hotel but with dorm rooms. We were kicking ourselves for not booking this one last time.

Day Two - Brussels to London
Could've easily done this by Eurostar in a couple of hours but our budget didn't allow for such luxuries. So a train, train, bus, ferry, bus, another train, and an underground ride brought us to London. The highlight of the whole thing was seeing the White Cliffs of Dover on our way in. We got to our hostel and it was crap. Never ever stay at the 639 Hostel in London. The rooms were dirty, the windows broken and there was cemetary right out the back. We were so grossed out by the state of the hostel that we didn't even want to take anything out of our bags in case they got contamiated with something!

Day Three - London to Cork
If we thought the hostel was bad yesterday, it was even worse today. We were in the washroom and three girls were puking from their adventures from the night before. We were hearing comments like "are you done", "Did you at least wet your fingers before throwing up". Then when we went down for breakfast it was like the whole "Hood" was "chillin" in the breakfast room. Every "Homie was giving you the eye. I was willing to forgo the free breakfast and pay for food if it meant that we got to leave the hostel faster! Our flight to Cork didn't leave until around 4pm, but we were not hanging around the hostel. So we waited at the airport for many hours. Our flight to Cork was short and by 8pm we were in a beautiful hostel eating dinner in Cork, Ireland 😊

Hmm....
I guess on a trip like this you are going to have to encounter shitty places like that. It just wouldnt be good for business if the shitty hostel called themselves "shitty sleep hostel" or "Dirty is our middle name" Take care and see ya soon, Cathy
