Cork Day Trip

Quick post today, not all that much actually happened. I had a shindig over here last night, and we all agreed to wake up and get to the bus station for 8 so we could get the bus into the city and then into Cork, where we were going for a day trip, provided through the school. I guess i got it in my head that i had to wake up at 8, not be there for 8, because i set my alarm for 8, not 7:30. So everyone else assumed i had taken an earlier bus, and left without me. So i was late, had to wait in the bus station for an hour before the next bus came, and it was a not a good situation all around. But I did get some reading in, so it's not all bad.
We i got there and finally met up with people, we waited around for the hop-on-hop-off bus, but it took forever, so we decided to wander around for a bit. It's actually a really nice city, i like it better than limerick. Lots of side streets, little shops and markets and cafes and stuff, very quaint.
so we had a lunch ticket for a museum cafe, and we walked to the museum. It was pretty good, nothing spectacular. They actually had representations of venus di milo and some other stuff we saw at the louvre, so seeing these reproductions was kinda lame, haha. But lunch was really good, I had sea bass.
Then we wandered around for a bit more, waiting for the bus, which finally came and took us to the goal, also known as a jail. it was kinda cool, we had tickets for an audio tour, which was long, but interesting, i guess. Then we got back on the bus, which has some cool information about the city. We saw some cool churches and stuff on the way, which was neat. Then we shopped around for awhile longer, then took the bus back, and here we are! A fun day, if not a lot that happened. But next week is Scotland, Dublin, and Italy, so more from that later!
