Remember how I said I’m terrible at keeping things like this? Yeah, sorry about that. It’s been almost two weeks since my last post. In my defense, there’s a new season of Queer Eye on Netflix so all of my free time has gone to that. Maybe next time I won’t almost forget to post? Hopefully?
How to Shove 4 Countries in 2 1/2 weeks:
1. Don’t sleep
2. Forget to eat because you’re too busy trying to see everything.
3. Most importantly coffee! Insert GIF of Lorelei Gilmore talking about her love for coffee.
Seriously though I did that. As amazing as it was I wish I allowed myself more time to explore but, what I did see was simply amazing.
My first stop was London. This was my first stop away from the US and even though I was nervous as hell I was so ready to explore! The exploring I did though was getting so lost for 3 hours that I was convinced for a while that I was going to die. Tip: don’t let your phone die when you’re lost for 3 freaking hours! Turns out I was only 10 minutes from Westminister Abbey which wasn’t too far from where I was staying. I mostly did a lot of stereotypical touristy sightseeing in London. I saw the London Eye. Did not go on because screw Ferris wheels. I went to the palace and even took a photo in front of an iconic red phone booth. I also developed a habit of putting croissants in my purse whenever I saw a bakery. It wasn’t a terrible habit to have and it was quite handy.
Next stop was Dublin! Funny enough I only live an hour from there now. My first stop was the Guinness Storehouse. Now I’m not a big dark beer drinker. Honestly, I just started drinking beer. But how could you come to Ireland and not visit Guinness? You just can’t. Let me tell you Ireland has changed me. Now Guinness is one of my regular drinks! I spent most of my few days in Dublin just checking out the pubs because that’s what you just do here. It’s amazing how most of the Irish themed pubs I’ve been to in the States actually look like almost all of the pubs I’ve been to in Ireland!
I’ll keep the rest of my adventures for next week. When I don’t forget to post. 😉
Sláinte!
