Woke up early yesterday in Quebec, took an expensive taxi to the airport $32.50, the only way to get to the airport in QC, then got searched by Canadian customs again! Not as severe as last time, but man do they hate my harmonica.
American customs was positively warm as I entered New Jersey, no search, no nothing. Just welcome back.
Then 5 hours in the Newark.
7pm flight across the atlantic. Arrived in Dublin at 6 am. Caught a bus to the hostel at 7:45 am. No sleep on the flight. Quite tired. Decided to put myself on whatever tour was leaving the hostel.
Took an all day trip out into the beautiful rolling hills and lakes around Dublin. Kept falling asleep like a narcoleptic. Went to take a picture and realized my camera had gone kaput finally…bummer, it’s been a good camera. Took lots of pics on my crappy cell phone camera though…
Intended to tip the guide but he decided to drop me off somewhere other than where he picked me up and told me to ask how to get back to the hostel from the nearest pub. No tip.
Rule #1, fellow guides usually tip you well, unless you dump them off in a strange part of town and tell them to ask directions from a pub when they can’t keep their eyes open.
Otherwise, it was a great trip. Great guide. Found my way back to my hostel and now trying to figure out how to upload from my phone.
That’s all for now.
