ReadyforthisElly: To be sure, to be sure

Reunited in Dublin with my friend from Melbourne, Rachel, it was my first weekend getaway from London. Yes, I did stay in a backpacker hostel the first time in quite a few years! I forgot a towel and body wash...essentials to note for the next getaway. The weekend involved quite a bit of drinking and many many laughs. We were definitely in the Irish spirit, drinking Guinness and eating stew, quite uncommonly I actually got burnt too! We did a very good (long) walking tour and spent Sunday basking in the sun in Howth on the coast walking along the hill top. One of the most breathtaking views I have ever seen. I hunted down the 'best coffee in Dublin,' The Bald Barista, which was worth wading through the sea of homeless people out the front & a decent cake shop which was necessary after the long walk around Dublin. All in all, a perfect weekend getaway. I am not sure if I can top it! Will try though.
