Dublin

I'm doing this post about 2 weeks late so I might not remember everything but here it goes:
We left for Dublin on April 19th and stayed until the 21st. We took a Ryanair flight into Dublin which went smoothly. We arrived and found our bus into the city and the people were really nice and helped us find our way. We went to Starbucks and then arrived at our hostel ( Isaac's hostel) which was in a really good location but kind of in an alleyway. It was dark inside but had a cool atmosphere. The receptionist was really funny and made fun of my email address from middle school. We showed us some stuff to do in the city but we couldn't check in right away so we locked up our stuff and then did the hop on hop off bus tour. The tour was cool because we pretty much saw everything that there is to see the first day. We saw the Guiness Factory from the outside, Trinity college, the cathedrals, etc. That day we hopped off at the Kilmainham Jail which was really cool. It was really old and falling apart and our tour guide told us about the history of it, which was interesting. We got hot chocolate there too. After that we went got food and went back to the hostel and got ready for the pub crawl. It was fun but not as good as the London one. We got shots mostly of Bailey's which is really good. This bar crawl was less social and we kind of just hung out with each other. It was such a big group that we split in two groups and then met up at the last bar. I met a guy studying in Spain and his two friends which was fun. I met a guy from France too. I love the pub crawls because you gt to meet a lot of cool people.After that we went home instead of going to the club. I wanted to stay at first but was glad we went home instead after getting some food. The next day we went to the Guiness Factory which was awesome. It had about 7 floors and each floor had a ton of info about Guiness and how it is made and anything else you would want to know. We stopped at the Gravity bar to see what was there and it was a gorgeous view over Dublin. We left soon after that though becayse it was so crowded. We ended up going back down to the floor where you can learn how to pour your own pint of Guiness. That was my favorite part I think. It takes almost 2 minutes for the beer to settle until you can top it off. We chilled there for like 3 hours, and then the other girls went to buy Guiness souvenirs for their family while I waited for them. After the Guiness factory we got some fish and chips but I didnt like it that much.We didn't really have time to do much else. After that we got ready to go out and just went to a bar in Temple Bar. I finally had Irish coffee and it was really good! We chilled there for a while and met a really young couple getting married so it was fun to talk to them. After that we got food and went home. The last day in Dublin we did the walking tour after Kara and I left the hostel to get some breakfast and talk about drama going on in the group. The tour was really good, but really long and a lot of history. We started at the main bar that I cant remember but we had free coffee and tea. We saw the Dublin Castle, Trinity College and pretty much everything there is to see in Dublin. It was cool to walk around and learn about the city, but by the end of it I was ready to go! After that we got some traditional Irish food and then got ready to go to the airport. There was drama that day but once we got to the airport it was fine. We got home really late and had to wait in the train station again. It was freezing but we made it throguh and then went to bed and then class the next day.
