Woke up and we decided to just grab breakfast at our hotel. Where we discovered that we seemed to be the youngest guests by at least 2 decades. 😛. Kirk and I had a full Irish breakfast. Black and white pudding, bacon that’s not bacon, sausage eggs. Soooo good. Their black pudding was not as good as in Scotland but their white was delicious. I actually ate a full sausage as well. Yum. Still the coffee hasn’t been outstanding.
Kirk was nervous we would not get our car back they basically just took our keys and said ‘it will be fine’. But all was well and we headed on to Dublin TO WIDE OPEN HIGHWAYS!!! Kirk was thrilled! I’m still a bit under the weather but pushing thru.
Uneventful drive but it is still funny to see tractors just driving down the road and stopping to grab some snacks at a gas station.
Well uneventful until we got into Dublin proper. Driving was stupid insane. Poor Kirk. He was never so thankful than when we dropped the car off. Honestly worse than LA. And we got the all clear so the car came back in good condition which is a miracle.
Started walking back to the hotel but par for the course I announced I was starving. Happened on a lively Pub w music and tons of people so we just went in…and stayed for about 3 hours w drinks and lunch. Fish and chips for me again. Lol. Ed and Claudine joined us later. Great music! Stayed so long the playlist looped. Woohoo!
Cleaned up a little and headed to ‘just a pub for dinner’. 🙄. Actually a Michelin star pub! Delicious food and wine. French pinot and a Nebbiolo. Mmmmm. Then onto a speak easy behind a nondescript door. Yummy champagne drink and the rest of the group had some sort of whiskey drink. Still not feeling 💯 so Kirk and I headed back to the hotel.
