Rotterdam to Dublin - Travel
Friday, July 08, 2005
Off at 3am (late) from Rotterdam. Get on the train for the Chunnel around 7am. 40min and we're in the UK. Ride through the countryside and wind up at the ferry in Holyhead, Wales around 3pm.
Boat doesn't leave until 6:30, so Joff and I walk into town to try and get a Curry. Two Indian places, but both are shut until 5:30. We hit a pub instead, beer for Joff, Coke for me. We also shoot a couple of games of pool.
Back on the bus by 4:30 and wait in the parking lot for the ship to arrive. While waiting we are entertained by a group of Irish guys playing Ukelele's with banjo bodies.
More riding, sleeping, eating on the bus. Get into Dublin and the drivers can't find the hotel. We do the same 4 block circuit 3 times. We're all ready to jump off and get a cab. Finally we get to the hotel about 10pm (we've been in town since 9pm). I have a quick shower and go find a Curry House next to the hotel and get a Chicken Tikki Marsala. Just what the doctor ordered. Watch a DVD and off to bed, another early lobby tomorrow.
