England!

Well I flew out of Amsterdam and into manchester. where i caught a train back to sils. it was good to get back to a familiar place.
so i didnt do much when i got to sils. i arrived just one day before laura and anna were to come. although louise was there. so the next day i planned to go meet the girls in manchester. trouble was that they're train was late. so i waited for the expected time... they didnt show up, and i got worried that i might have missed them. so i quickly got on a train and headed back to sils. when they arrived we just hung out that night. didnt do much.

we had a few days together. we went to lvierpool for a day. that was nice. saw the beatles place, where they played. lots of old buildings. and a nice harbour.

we were also planning on going to york, but decided to go to ireland instead.

we did go into manchester alot. the girls speant their fair share of money. lol. bought truckloads of goods. i bought some shoes. and some other things.

so our ireland trip. we made the decision to go to ireland just because we thought we could afford it, plus the accomodation was very inexpensive. so the night before we left we had a chance to book a ferry ride costing 70 odd quid. we thought it was good. so we got up real early (5.30am) got a train to Liverpool. once there (around 9am) we begun our mission to find the ferry dock. so we walked to what looked like the most obvious place a ferry could be. turned out to be wrong. then we asked a guy who told us that its just around the corner. about half a mile walk. simple we thought. 30mins later we find the boat, but have no idea how to get on it. so we stand there watching it... we then ask another guy where we go to buy tickets. 'oh just around the corner' everyone said. so we finally find it. its in a place much like port kembla, absolutel no where. so we walk in with 10mins to spare. and ask to buy 3 tickets to ireland. ha ha ha . . .

turns out you have to be there 1 hour before it departs. so we never could have gotten it. and the next ferry was 12 hours later. so we were pretty devo. then the lady behind the desk, who i thought at first was very rude, decided to help us out. so she looked up another ferry company, rang them, found out train times, connections and how much it would cost... then called a taxi for us to get back to the station.

very nice. once at the station we figured out that it would cost us 26 quid to get all the way to dublin. one of the main reasons we needed to get to dublin that day was because we already payed and booked the accomodation. but it turned out that 26 quid got us all the way to dublin. that was about 3 train rides too. and the ferry was quicker then the original ferry ride. 3 hours oppesed to 7 hours. awesome.

so once in dublin we ate out, drunk some beer, and did a tour of the bottom half of ireland. it was awesome. one thing about dublin, was that it was very very expensive. you forget that its in euros, so you have to double everything. and one beer was 5 euro. thats 10 bucks a beer.
