“It was fun. 1st day, The Celtic crosses were nice and the Titanic museum was okay but nothing really amazing. The optional Black Taxi tour was interesting. It focused on a lot on history past/present of troubles in Northern Ireland. I stayed in the Hostel Patty's Place in Dublin, they were able to give me a single room. Bathroom had showers which were not the best but worked. At the hostel, I did not meet a lot people but I did run into a few. The area was okay. The young woman was able to give me recommendations but it was confusing finding restaurants/bars, you're on your own for that…”
