And then there was one {day}..

I cannot believe that tomorrow is our last day. WOW! Just to change things up a little bit, we woke up and got straight on a bus. We did get to enjoy a delicious breakfast first though where I smuggled out 5 prepackaged jellies because they were in cute jars. Gotta take advantage of those free souvenirs since I'm broke now. (I'm actually scared to look at my bank account) Our bus took us to two gardens, the first one being Mount Stewart and the second one was the Dillion Garden. We had our last quiz after the first garden so we mainly just walked around and took in the scenery, nothing too exciting. At the second garden the owners gave us tea and cookies, they were super old and super adorable!

I'm pleasantly surprised about how much warmer Ireland is than the last day we had in Scotland. It's been cloudy but the wind isn't too strong or cold. I have to say though, Dublin did not blow me away. We walked from our hotel to the heart of the city and spent the evening getting food and listening to live music in a popular pub. The city is flat and the people are not the nicest we have come across. Maybe it would be different if we hadn't just come from Edinburgh, but I just fell in love with that city! No one here has been terribly mean but we haven't had one friendly interaction with an Irish person. The city is very interesting from what we were able to see to see tonight. There is live music everywhere and lots of resturaunts to choose from! (i.e. Hard Rock Cafe and McDonalds) We all got some cider in the spirit of being in Ireland, and the pub also had some fun festive hats we could wear too! Since tomorrow is our last day and we still have to wake up early we called it an early night and spilt a taxi back home. Our taxi driver was the nicest person we have met here yet! 


I'm taking buzzfeed quizzes while Janae and Liba pack up their bags. Janae has to pack to leave for the next part of her trip, she's going to Spain! Wish her luck that she makes it there with all of her stuff ❤️ 

I refuse to believe this trip is coming to an end...
