The luck of the Irish

On Sunday, Amanda and I decided to trek out to a mall that she had been to before, Dundrum Shopping Centre! Unfortunately she'd only been by car, so we didn't really know where we were going to find the right public transport (it's really strange in Dublin). We were heading for the Luas (kind of train/tram thing) when we were stopped at some traffic lights waiting to cross. Then a bus goes past us with 'Dundrum Shopping Centre' on the front of it. So we looked at each other, and knew what we had to do.


We ran. Reasonably fast. In heels (and boots). Not ideal. We did get the bus, because lots of people were getting off it at the next stop. And it dropped us right outside! Fantastic.


We had a super day and went to the movies again (oops) and got heaps of bargains like €1.50 knee high socks (for inside my boots) and a €7 carry-on sized weekend bag (black and white).


I also managed to find a great dress for the boyfriend's sister's wedding in June back in New Zealand! Sorted!


On the way to the airport on Monday morning (at an extremely early time of the morning which I would rather not discuss) my taxi driver was Indian, but had an Irish accent! It was so strange - the look didn't seem to match the accent!
