#20 - Tuesday 24/7 - Final stop Dublin

I woke and had breaky, which was very uneventful... Again. Which is probably good I spose! A quick pack up and check out, and I was on my way - 3 hours to Dublin town. The last stop on my trip! Before I left, I decided to cruise into Galway city, to check it out. Again, it was very much like freo - heaps of people and confusing road layout for a visitor. I found the Post Office, by accident (a trait of my trip!) and posted some stuff that I knew would send my over the baggage allowance. It was only 4.5kgs which I thought would be more, but at least it's gone now and I can get it later! It cost €60 to post, but it would have cost more than that if I got to the airport and they charged me for it. Least it's done now! Seamus asked if I wants to go through Toll roads. I said no. So he directed me on the parts of the motorway that were toll free and then through some country towns to avoid the tolls good man. A nice way to see the countryside too. One thing I couldn't get eas Irish use of hazard lights.i rarely see them in Australia, but this is prob the correct way to use them - a car stopped suddenly waiting for a car turning right, so he put his hazard lights on. Good idea in theory, however if I had to find my hazard lights quickly,I would most certainly cause an accident anyway! I think I have finally mastered the indicator knob being on the other side of the steering wheel too... Just in time to get back to my SS with it on the other side... I'm certain I have caused much laughter and amusement for locals as I travel round a roundabout, suddenly having my windscreen wipers waving at waiting cars! Lunch was good too - another freshly made sandwich - cant underestimate the simplicity of a chicken and salad on fresh white bread. And tin foil as well - seems to be an Irish thing. I like it. I arrive at Druids at it is simply stunning. Very much like The Vones in Perth, perhaps with more steroids.  Awesome! I decided to have a few drinks in the bar. Worked my way through Smithwicks (yuck), Budweiser (what's the hype about?) and Heineken (in fairness nothing would taste right after these two). I ordered dinner - Irish loin steak with stuffed tomatoes, hand cut chips (yeah, right) and something something cheek. It was amazing! Especially the something something cheek. I'm not sure whether I should have liked it, but I did! The Irish coffee after dinner went down a treat too! Yummo... And of future reference, they're coffee beans floating in there - not chocolate, not floaties, not anything else. They don't taste incredibly good (although that makes it sounds like I was prepared to eat floaties, which I wasn't). Tomorrow i am taking it easy. I was going to go into dublin, and i probably should since im here, but really i think it will do wonders to just chill out - go for a walk, run, golf lesson, swedish body massage etc. I really need to write up notes from the ADE conference and get a few ideas for work on paper. Might be a good day for that. But for now... I'm off to one of my two double beds - which one to sleep in? Both?
