tomorrow is a brand new day, let's go somewhere else

So I'm in Dublin now. After a very annoying ordeal. But I'll get to that later.

I randomly decided to hike a mountain in Brecon Beacons National Park outside of Cardiff. It consisted of an hour-long busride to this middle of nowhere, and me deciding to take the steep route up. Yeah, dunno why I did that. The view from the top was fantastic, even if my legs were killing me. The bus service ran every 2 hours and stopped at 5pm, so I sort of ran down the easy trail to make it back to the bus stop.
The next day I saw Cardiff Castle and Cardiff Bay. Nothing fantastic. That night I wandered down to their nightlife on St Mary's St. Picture Canada Day in downtown Ottawa, only a lot more skanks and drunks, and it going on every weekend. The police just close the street and everyone goes wild. It was surreal, and I wasn't nearly drunk enough for it.

I then hopped on a train to make my way to Holyhead the next day, only to have one of the connecting train service just be cancelled. So thats annoying. I then take another train, which proceeds to break down. So I missed another connecting train and then missed the ferry. By the way, it only takes 2-3 hours to cross, but they only have 3 ferries a day. So I spent a good 8-9 hours in Holyhead waiting for the 2:20am boat to Dublin. Annoying. And I had booked a night at the hostel. So I get here to check in at 7am, and the guy at the desk just kind of gives me this look. I go to crash on the bed, then proceed to listen to a bunch of american/canadian ditzes talk in the room at 7am about random shit. They eventually leave, and I keep some sleep until about 9:30 when the hostel employee comes in and says "yeah, we're gonna have to move you now. we actually booked this entire room for a group. sorry for waking you."
So I've spent the day kind of wandering around, trying not to spend too much money. I might check out this Temple Bar thing here tonight, and maybe do laundry. Should probably do laundry.

Still no pictures up yet, but I still have more than half of my memory cards free. All the hostel computers dont allow you to download so I'll have to borrow someone's laptop at some point.
