Journey to Dublin

Two weeks have passed already. The Irish coins have left my wallet and the postcards I sent have reached their destinations. So it’s about time to talk about my little vacation in Dublin.

Well, the first day was really just travelling. My flight left Munich in the evening and I arrived in Dublin just after sunset. As I have mentioned in my previous post, I saw the most beautiful sunset over Dublin, just before we descended into the clouds. The sky was filled with bright colors, blue, turquoise, orange, yellow and red. The clouds were lit up, as well. It was truly amazing. After that we went down through the grey of the clouds and towards the lights of the city.

From the airport I took the bus to the city. I got off on Dorset Street, a couple stops too early. But usually I miss the last stop on Dorset Street and then have to walk back from Parnell Place. I think it didn’t make much of a difference, distance wise. Walking to the hostel was no problem, of course. I recognized the right way immediately, I’ve been there often enough. I love it how I just recognize all the places in Dublin now and can find my way around without having to look at a map all the time.
