This week I'm traveling with two friends, Lindsey and Sarah to the Netherlands. My roommate Mary is unfortunately not with us, but we're making as many memories to bring back to her as possible! We started out journey yesterday afternoon, leaving Dungarvan for Cork (about an hour away by bus). Our friend Daragh met up with us and was nice enough to stay over before our way-too-early flight this morning. It was fantastic to see a bigger city in Ireland from the perspective of a local, even if it was only for an evening.
This morning when we got to the Cork airport security wasn't even open, which is something that I've never experienced. The three of us were still pretty exhausted, so it was a very quiet plane ride. We had great luck getting a shuttle to our hotel, which is a bit outside the city, but completely gorgeous. We're in a corner room on the thirteenth floor and have an amazing view!
We took a tram into the city center this afternoon, and happened to get out at the stop closest to the Anne Frank museum which was a fantastic mix up. We got to wander the streets and see some really pretty canals and ended up in a tulip market somehow, which was a nice surprise. We ended our day by meeting up with Sarah's friend Maaike, who is from the Netherlands and will be staying with us! It's really exciting to be able to city with a new friend, especially someone who speaks the language.
We're all calling it an early night in order to catch up on sleep and be ready for a full day tomorrow, hopefully we'll get to the beach!
So glad you got the opportunity to do this, tour thiss city, and share. Thank you, very much.
