This was an amazing weekend
Lauren, Iona and I went to Malin Head in Inishowen Peninsula in Co Donegal in the Republic.
We left after classes on Friday and took a bus to Cardonagh, then to Malin Head. There was some confusion about the tickets, so I ended up having to give my ticket back. The driver said just to tell the next bus driver, and he would let me on. I was nervous about it, but the second bus driver was chill.
We stayed at an amazing hostel by the water.
The owners were so nice. They gave us tea and advice about where to go and what to do.
There were photo's to go with the explanation. It was really entertaining.
Friday we mostly chilled.
Saturday we walked around Malin Head.
I got seperated from Lauren and Iona and ended up chasing them over this little mountain hill areas. They couldn't hear me calling because of the wind. It was both frustrating and funny.
Then I got stuck in a bog. Also, the day before I fell and got stuck in a ditch on the side of the road. Enough said.
Passing the unfriendly bad tempered Shetland ponies, we went to a beach full of colored rocks and stones. It was sooo pretty. We took some esepcially cool ones.
While we were there, a huge wave appearing from nowhere viciously attack Iona and I. We had to walk several kilometers rather wet. Walking in wet hiking boots=disguisting.
The next day we went to the Seaside Tavern and had a really nice meal. The view from our table was lovely.
We walked around a little while longer.
Monday morning we got up early and the hostel owner drove us to Cardonagh to catch our bus. He was so nice. It was like 6 am and it was freezing. We ate chocolate and drank juice. We got back to Londonderry/Derry with plenty of time for class, so we went to Magee for a nice, leisurely breakfast.
Here are some photo's from Malin Head
Irish palm trees are hilarious
OMG meanfaced Shetland Ponies
Pretty rocks
It's slightly awkward because I took it myself. Hehe. My other attmepts were worse though.
Iona took this photo rather sneakily as I blow dried my hiking boots so I could go out the day after the wave attacked us.
Monday passed by slowly, mostly because all I wanted to do was go to sleep and I was dreading mediation class.
I really really dislike that class.
Now it's Tuesday
I'm at Chnoc na Rós doing absolutly nothing.
Fionnuala and I were locked out until 11:30.
So we decided to go to the Sandwich Co for some hot drinks. The hot chocolate was very yum!
When we got back we were still locked out. So we got someone else in the building to let us in.
So there is really nothing for me to do because everyone else is out at schools today.
