At 4am my alarm starts blaring, we get ready and head to the tube by 5am. We sit at the tube until 6 am. Our flight is at 6:50. You do the math. So, we ended up on the flight an hour after and arrived in Ireland around 9am. The flight was short which was nice and we were half awake the whole time so it seemed to fly by. Pardon the pun. Dublin was super gloomy, just as we thought it might be but we were very excited for two reasons: Guinness and the prison.
The Guinness factory has been something that Ryan had been talking about for months. It is about 7 stories high and each floor shows you a different part of the brewing process. Ryan was happy because he got two free pints out of it! At the top of the whole factory is the gravity bar with a 360 degree view of the top of the city and the most beautiful part is the view of the Wicklow mountains peaking in between the fog and clear sky. We (he) finished the pints and made our way to the famous prison in Dublin. This prison is tied to so many different eras of Irish history, stuff I never knew I a thing about. The tour guide is very prideful of his country's past so his stories were very heartfelt.
The day was long and cold, but fun at the same time. We made it back to our hotel in London around midnight, and after a late dinner fell right to sleep.
