A City of Rebels

10th October, Isaac's Hostel, Dublin

Dublin!!

Woooow! I've spent all day wandering the streets of Dublin with a group of strangers in a walking tour of Dublin. Our guide, Richie, was a funny fellow, who was hung over from the pub crawl tour that his volunteer company takes tourists on, his night was last night! So during his talks, he'd all of a sudden disappear behind a 1L bottle of water. Despite this, his tour was wicked! Full of tales of deception, traitors, dark lakes, Gulliver's Travels and the stories behind a black door, and many more weird and wonderful things which all happened in Dublin over the many years it was built up.

Lunch found the majority of the group in a random pub which sells the biggest and tastiest Guinness and Lamb Stew - with a stack of vegies on the side! Just incredible! I befriended a group of American girls, and wandered with some of them through the afternoon. I met up with a couple of them just shortly ago, at O'Shea's pub down the road from my hostel. Live music and good food, and soon it was time for bed! An early start tomorrow, my 6 day tour of Ireland begins!
