Dublin - Edinburgh


Chiong packed my remaining things in the morning and ended up being last because of That pair of heels. In the end I forgot to remove the battery from the charger before putting it in my bag that was left at the hostel. Hence no pictures. -_- Went shopping on "that branch off O'Connell Street at the intersection with the Spire". Did some last minute souvenir shopping while m went to catch Ozzy Osbourne and didn't get anything cause I was still feeling guilty for Fat Boy and Little Man. Saw a guy with a huge Old English Sheepdog and Husky in tow. Haha. Continued souvenir shopping and search for a T-shirt I ended up not buying. Light lunch at SPAR, went down Dame Street, then back to the hostel to collect our stuff.

Made our way to the airport via the same bus , 16a. On the trip, yj and I were competing, trying to mentally add up all my Dublin expenses with the weird cents and all. Haha. Fell asleep after that was done. Tax refund was screwed up. The counter only opened from 7am - 1pm. Like what?! Funny announcement that the Dublin Airport kept airing: "Bags should not be left unattended. Unattended bags will be removed and may be destroyed." I imagined snipers lying in wait to fire laser guns at aforementioned unattended bags. Haha. Anyway, while boarding, Ryanair screwed up on b, making her check in her luggage and charging her 30eur when it could fit perfectly fine. Then Ryanair screwed up again, with their screwed up method of determining what they considered as "reaching on time". Apparently, reaching before the time stated orignally PLUS the declared delay time constituted as reaching on time. Whole load of rubbish.

Walked through a non existent custom at Edinburgh Airport. Got chased away from our "temporary room" on the ground floor to another area above by the janitor. Who then came to the second level later an make a huge ruckus with this cleaning equipment at 12am and moving the benches we were sleeping on. Not to mention the incessant announcement every 2 minutes about storing liquids in 100ml bottles. Urgh.
