Today was our first tourist day, we woke up and went to King John's Castle, which is 850 years old, which is weird seeing as the oldest buildings in America are about 200 years old. The views from the four towers left everyone there speechless, there was about a five minute span where everyone was silent, and staring. However, even in Europe they make sure that every exit conveniently leads to the gift shop, go figure.
Then we went to a little Irish restaurant, where we were the only one's there, and its weird not to have one waiter, you have everyone that works there waiting on you, seeing as there are no tips, it doesn't matter who takes your order. Everyone we were with got the seafood chowder, and unlike in America, there was more seafood than chowder, so it was worth the 7Euro for a huge bowl. I got a well done burger, because well done is the only way it is done here, and that is horrible.
Then, for the next hour we couldn't find a bus, because it just stops at random places, there are no big signs that alert us to the stop. They said, go to Brown Thomas, like we had any idea what that is. Finally when we did find the bus, the bus driver said, "give me five minutes," and locked the bus and went in to the pub. Who does that?
Then we had to take naps, because when you walk about 10miles before 5:00, you get really tired.
The night was very interesting, as we just went exploring, and got lost, we stumbled across a rich, up-scale bar, and got death stares from everyone in there, so we just left, and continued searching. Thats about it, but still a very interesting night.
