Galway

Well I'm thinking it'll be easy just to summarize each city instead of each day :P

So the next day we woke up and tried to decide what to do. So after wandering around for awhile we saw that the ticket from Dublin to London was 48 Euro at the station. So we decided to head over to Galway Ireland and hoped that we could find a cheaper price online while in Galway.

We took a 12 Euro Bus ride over to Galway and got there between 4-6. We walked around for a bit, but unfortunately it quickly turned dark on us so we decided to back to the hostel and just relax for a bit. Thats where I did my last few blogs - Nathan went to bed.

We woke up around 830 and decided that we would go on a Bus Tour of Galway and the surrounding area, which I dont think we'll end up doing that again, simply due to the fact that it seemed WAY to touristy and the whole time you are surrounded by people doing the same thing the ENIRE day. But we hit some cool places.

The most Impressive places we hit were the Cliffs of Moher




Oh and there was a Irish Rainbow Mom ;)



An another attempt at a panoramic...


Then after we finished that tour we walked around (it was around 7-8ish) and we went out, met some new people at some Pub/Restaurant types and apparently the Irish go out on Sunday but they start at like 10-11 and if you finish at 4 its early -haha.

Then we went back to the Hostile, and crashed for the night.

The next morning we spent some time around Galway, Hit the "Awesome" Spanish Arch - which was quite disappointing....


Then we hit the Cathedral there, attended a mass, and checked out the University there as well.
After that was done we headed to the station and headed to the bus station. Then through the next day we spent traveling to Dublin VIA Bus, stopped at a Cafe as we waited for our Buss to London, Took a Buss/Ferry to London and got to London around 9/10am the next day.

It was a first for the Ferry and we actually found this really awesome room at the front of the Ferry that we had to ourselves so we relaxed and kicked off our boots and relaxed. :D




And then we were in London!
