its true, manchester does do a fantastic curry. it was a lovely last night with anna and the lads cruising Curry Lane and gorging ourselves silly.
Dublin also hides some hidden truths - it IS really expensive to do anything there, AND the irish DO like to drink, alot. Our first few nights in Dublin did involve a fair bit of drinking to be sure. The liver is at rest now though with a couple more nights in Belfast before heading to Galway.
Dublin can be summed in up with a few activities, other than the aforementioned drinking we also did a lot of strolling about; some of that accidently when I led the gang in the wrong direction home after our quick (hungover) visit to the Guiness brewery. We headed out of the city and down to the cute port town of Don Laoghaire (said 'don Lerry') for the annual Redbull Flugtag. Google it if you dont know it. Crazy stuff. Lots of people and extreme gale force winds rattling the bones. Not a good day to be wearing jandels for sure.
We've now made it to Belfast. Elliot has a friend that lives here so she showed us to one of the only pubs thats open on a monday night - coincedently a gay pub that was showcasing drag queen kareoke for the night! Sam and Elliot got in the action and sung a lovely duet "time after time" :)
hilarious. Oh, before that we checked out the Crown. the oldest pub in Belfast. AMAZING. Very ornate and overly decorated with carvings, stained glass, and excellent atmosphere.
We cruised up to the Giants Causeway yesterday - absolutely beautiful. Walked along the rope bridge and stopped in the gift shop at the Bushmills distillery. Today we are getting some more history and doing a wee tour around the city whilst getting a guide to tell us about the political/religious history around northern ireland. should be interesting.
Galway tomorrow.
