BAILE ÁTHA CLIATH

What Dublin had to offer on my tiny holiday: late night walks in Temple Bar, wearing just too little clothes to stay warm. We did stay safe though, so dad, there is no need to panic right now.


Like Carrie said: "People in their twenties always knows the right B-people; bartenders, bouncers, busboys..." And so we befriended the bartender, which actually paid off.


We spent oh so many hours in town, shopping, museuming, photographing and even eating a little bit. But mostly shopping.


Just before take-off we managed to fit in some time for afternoon tea. This might not have been the best idea, traveling with that much sugar in ones body does not feel good. No worries, I managed, all the way back to Bergen.


Visiting a brand new city is always awesome, and Dublin reminded me of an uptight and a little bit ugly Bristol.
I liked it.

SEE NO EVIL




Just before I moved from England, I visited Bristol. It is a just an hour and a half from Southampton, and I truly regret that I didn't visit the city any sooner. It has definitely become my favorite place in the UK and every day I dream of moving there. Which I one day will...

I am going to eat homemade burgers and drink Snickers-milkshakes at Rocotillo's, create  brilliant street art pieces just like everyone else and sunbathe at the top of Brandon Hill – all the while I am working as a graphic designer who spends her holidays at concerts and festivals. It is going to be great!
