From Limerick to Berlin, and every disco i've been in.....

Made it back from my flying visit to Ireland in one piece. Well just about!! Arrived into Dublin early on Friday morning all set for a 21st down in Limerick city. After a quick lunch with Amanda we (Me, Nicki and Aoife) pointed the car in the direction of Limerick. Well actually we headed a good bit in the Galway direction first and then realising our slight miscalculation we schwung it round and went cross country. We arrived eventually, about 4 hours later, and got ready for the party. The 21st was for one of the girls that was with us in San Diego over the summer. It was the first time since July that i'd seen some of the people there so there was plenty of catchin up to be done. One of the highlights had to be a big glass of Nashs Red Lemonade half way through the night. I hit the wall around 1 which wasn't too bad considering i'd been up since 5 the morning before!!

The next day we hung around for a while then got the bus back to Dublin. I was shocked that it was only €10 one way from Limerick. Its €13 one way to Castleblayney which is not even half the journey it is to Limerick! The injustice of the world!! Anyway, we were pretty wrecked so we had a quiet night in and got a good nights kip. Sunday then was a day of faffin around Dublin and meeting people I hadn't seen in a while. All in all a good weekend, except for the ridiculously early Ryanair flight back to Berlin this morning!! Ryanair is not the best option for when you want to get some sleep during a flight as you have to be 4" 3 to have any leg-room!!

Thats all the travelling over for a while now anyway! I have the big bruv and Eva coming to visit next weekend which I can't wait for!! It'll be nice having familiar faces around for a few days. I'm gonna take it easy now for the next few days and recover from the weekend. Shouldn't take too long but it's a good excuse to be lazy!! I leave with Roisin Murphys, of Moloko fame, new song. It's a cracker!! Enjoy!!



P.S. Thanks to Mary for the directions on the way down. We would've ended up in Galway if it wasn't for her!!
