| We left Dublin and it was raining... it was kind of raining everywhere today, even though it wasn't really supposed to be. The train ride was uneventful (except for Brent's backpack falling off the storage rack and only a woman sitting across the aisle... eep). We had been planning on going to a campground, but since it was raining, we grabbed some brochures at tourist info and went to the pub across the street to ponder our options. It was there that we met up with Donal, the town \"mooch\". We had a good yak with him and bought him a couple of beers. I popped across the street to use the WiFi at tourist info to book us into a hostel. I booked us into Paddy's Palace, the only place available for the night. Turned out Donal was staying there as well, so we bought more beers and he made us spaghetti. From Brent: \"After 3 nights in Dublin we headed for the west coast and Killarney.\nThe train trip took a good deal of the day and was a bit stressful at our one transfer. We had only 7 minutes to \n\nget off the first train, find and get onto the second train. And the trains here run on time. No waiting. There were \n\na lot of people transferring at Mallow so we basically followed the crowd and turned out fine. I shoved my pack into \n\nthe overhear shelf and we got underway. I didn't do a very good job and a few minutes down the track my pack fell \n\nout and landed square on my head, it rolled off and brushed the arm of the lady across the isle on its way to the \n\nfloor. From her reaction you would have thought that she had been shot. She kept on checking herself for damage. \" | ||
