Day 9-12
I'm going to combine all of these days into one since it was one trip. It all started on a whim, when we were given two free days to do whatever we wanted. Five of us wanted to take a flight somewhere like Norway or Rome, but we found the best price for Dublin Ireland! So off we headed on the train, plane and finished with the bus. So the bus dropped us off in the middle of the city where it was our mission to find a place to stay for the next two nights. Luckily after an hour or so of searching we found the Avalon House! Unable to check in we still had 5 hours to spare to carry around our backpacks filled with camera equipment, clothes, and etc. I have never had so much back pain in my life! Well check-in was fine and we found ourselves in a room with twelve beds, bachelor party next door, and co-ed bathrooms. It was an interesting two nights to say the least.
Our first destination was the tour of the Guinness factory which was so amazing and was most likely the highlight of my trip. It was the most interesting architecture and design that I have seen in quite some time! I have some amazing pictures from the 7 story plant which even included a waterfall!
We all took a city sightseeing tour bus around the central area of Dublin where we learned all about St. Patricks day, their president, their citizens, and much more. Through the adventures, we ate some of the most amazing food while trying to be really cheap. The whole 'being cheap' thing really wasn't working since the best deals that we found were 13 Euro for a meal($15) which is a little out of my day-to-day budget. Other than that I couldn't end my trip without a bang so i splurged and ordered myself one Jameson Coke(respectfully so since I missed the tour of the Jameson Whisky Distillery).
Travels back to Arbroath, Scotland went extremely smoothly and arrived to an empty castle which was perfect for a much needed nap!
