Ok Dazza, this is the last time I’m gunna swing you around!
I’m having enough trouble standing before I hellicopter you around the pub, letalone after!
We (me n louy, kiwi chick) where in a local pub in temple bar area, hangin with Dazza
(a 6 year old local) and his parents and gettin the craic on St pats day.

I’d booked a 4 day St pats tour and because all the u pikers didn’t come it was a solo mish.
But as soon as I got on 1 of the 2 full buses loaded with aussies, kiwis & saffas, I had bulk new mates.
Everyone boozed it up on the bus and then the ferry, we got to the hostel in dub that nite.
Got sorted then went to a pub & watched a bit of cricket then to a huge club (zanzibar) top nite!
St Pat’s day:

All up nice and early and off to the street parade, I came prepared with my duty free vody but not all had thought ahead so I shared the luv! But the parade was late starting so we found a pub right on the street and had the

All our tour, 2 bus loads!
first st pats Guinness. Then back out to watch the parade fire dancing, bagpipes, dancing gals, huge robotic monsters & heaps of other Random shite. Then all the tour meet up in a pub later for a a few Guinness's and some rugby(on tele).

I was keen to do a bit of exploring, maybe find a lepricorn! So me, louy & ethil went on a temple bar area expedition to find the real Dublin. We cruised around the packed streets and if we saw a good lookin pub we went in for a Guinness, then on to the next 1. On our journeys we meet some characters and experienced some random happenings & had a great time!

Day after:

R.A.F in the morning and half the tour went up to Belfast but the rest of us went to the Guinness factory. Huge queues to get in but being on a tour it was all sorted, straight in! nice one! We started lookin around but i said that I was starting to sober up so we went up to the sky bar for our free Guinness then down to the bar below for some more Guinness and a

Later after a walk back in the snow then back to sunny (random weather) we all meet up in a pub for some shenanigans and a few bevies. Then a few of us went out to a local club, no tourists except us! Good fun

Back to London:

No sleep due to the very early departure and onto the ferry and it was a rough as guts trip, huge rolling swells (a lot of very sick people).
When we got to Holyhead (the uk port) it was too rough to go in, so we had another 3 hr trip to another port. I was still swaying when I walked aroundfall the next day From the motion of the ocean!

I mosdeff recommend this tour to everyone. If ya keen for a whole lota partying, drinkin and some organised craic go with backpackers.co
