Valencia, Spain to Dublin, Ireland
28 August 2008

This afternoon Debra and I headed to Dublin. I had a week to spare and why not spend it in Dublin with Debra. It was great to get to Debra's house to relax a bit and do some washing. Not too much relaxing was happening though as it was Debra's night off and we decided to hit the Dublin party scene. We headed to a bar in town that a lot of kiwis/aussies go and met up with Debra's flatmate Lisa and her boyfriend.

They had to work the next day so they left and we continued on our way into Temple Bar where we danced and drank the night away just like the good old times.

In Dublin they still have some men to open and close the train barriers, needless to say this can cause major annoying traffic delays!
