After three days on the road and four days in Ireland, we are now on to our second country! We are currently on the most splendid ferry between Dublin and London. It has every recreational room imaginable with glass walls and doors, huge screens, internet access, gorgeous carpeting, shops, restaurants, cafes, and private suites.
Our last day on the Shamrocker Tour was pretty relaxed. We started the day on the Cliffs of Moher, which was in the running for one of the seven wonders of the world. We also stopped off in the Burren National Park where limestone is scattered across fields that lead to a perfect, royal blue ocean. Finally, we ended in Galway, which is a college town with a great buzzy feel.
When we got off the bus to have lunch, Collin and I quickly found the cheapest option because we finally decided to part with some of our money for the sake of souveniers from what may very well be one of our favorite destinations.
But we also had another mission: getting to London.
We left the states without really knowing what or how we were going to do about getting from Dublin to London, and we thought that it wouldn't be that difficult. We were wrong. The flights got more expensive the longer we waited, and we didn't even want to pay the cheap fare that was available months in advance.
Now we had only a few hours to find our way to London.
We had checked the coaches, but the ones we found were all full. So when we got to Galway we made it our business to find a coach because we knew the price would be on our budget and that we would arrive in London with enough time to see the city before we catch the chunnel.
Success! The bus station was able to sell us a ticket from Dublin to London lickety-split! And then we went to an internet cafe to book our hostel in London and plan our tube trip!
We'll let you know how it goes!
