I went to Ireland in March when I was back in the UK to visit my cousins, who i hadn’t seen in way too long and whilst I put my film pictures up, I had pictures from my phone that I’d taken over the weekend so I thought I’d share them here. (Shoutout to my lunatic cousins who adopted me for the weekend xxx).
I flew into Dublin to meet my cousin Sophy who was coming from Galway, and after lugging around Dublin trying to find her (it was saint P’s weekend bear in mind) we finally found each other and made our way to a cute little coffee shop which Soph had a voucher for. We had Kombucha and these raw energy bites (health you know) before going to my cousin Kate’s house who lives in Dublin and let us stay with her :)
Sophy had a collection of vouchers from her birthday to use in Dublin so we went to this amazing veggie restaurant where we ate the boujiest, most sophisticated round of meals I’ve ever had. (Who knew you could make a leek taste so good). We had some drinks then went back to Kates house where Sophy demonstrated some of her yoga moves, the usual.
Saturday morning, we got ready and headed out to get the train from Dublin to Bray, got a coffee on the way, stopped to see the climate change protests around Dublin and then caught the train. We walked from Bray to Greystones, which was a good 2 hour walk by the coast. By 4 we’d arrived in Greystones, ready for my first Happy Pear experience, and my expectations were met by the most amazing plate of food (we both got the buddha bowl). Leaving with a food baby and never needing to eat again, we left the Happy Pear happy and ready to get the train back to Dublin to catch the bus to Kilkeny.
By 10pm we’d arrived in Kilkeny; I caught up with all the rest of the family, and Saturday was filled with catching up with my cousin Roison and walking around Kilkeny’s town center. We had a great evening filled with a trip to Aldi to get some food essentials, a great dinner and watching loads of cheesy rom-com’s. The best night :)
On Sunday I was heading home, so after demolishing my breakfast in the matter of 2 minutes after we lost track of time, I caught the bus to the airport for my flight!
