When the DART goes out of order

Today after work I went to the DART station in Dun Laoghaire and passed a guy who reminds me of an actor. First I didn’t remembered the name of that actor but then it got into my mind. That guy looks like Ben Affleck! I wanted to double check that but I didn’t had my glasses on and I was already too far away from him.

After a while the DART arrived at the station and I took a seat at the window. I was a bit confused because the train didn’t moved for like 7 or 8 minutes. Then the DART moved and I felt a bit better. When the train arrived at Salthill & Monkstown a voice came out of the speakers. I just understood that the DART is out of order because of broken overhead connections and that we had to take the Dublin Bus to get into the city. So I followed the crowd to the neared Dublin Bus station. After a few minutes a taxi stopped infront of me and the driver asked for more people who would like to get to city center. When I asked him for the fee he told me that it will be splitted under the passengers and it wouldn’t be more than 5Euro. So I hopped into the taxi. After a few minutes I catched the info that over hundrets of people are ordering a taxi at that time just because the DART isn’t moving. When we arrived at the city center the driver told us that he will only charge 3Euro each person. I was like: Cool, perfect time to get rid of my change.

All in all a very exciting afternoon.

I got sand in my shoes

Yesterday I and 4 people from the FSZ03 were on the way to Malahide because we wanted to see the Castle. As we arrived at the bus station in Lower Abbey Street we noticed that we missed our bus by 1 minute and the next to Malahide would come in 30 minutes so we decided to take the bus to Portmarnock. When we arrived there we saw that awesome long beach called Velvet Strand.

Velvet Strand

In the first moment we thought that we were in Miami because of all the palm around the mainsons. We went into the water ofcause without shoes and socks. Too bad that we had to take care of our stuff so we went back to the higher places. After we put on our shoes and socks we went to Malahide. That was just a 4km walk. Later we ate in an typical Irish Pub called „Gibney’s Pub“. Very delicous food and a pretty ambience. Later we went to the Castle but too bad it was closed so we decided to go back to Dublin.
