I got some hot wings at nandos because medium simply isn’t hot enough for me anymore. And the hot sauce isn’t THAT hot, but I think it’s hot enough so that I can get enough of a kick out of it and still taste the food.

I’m sitting on a bench in front of a little pond in St Stephen’s Green park, watching birds. Just waiting until I’m hungry so I can get some nandos, lmao.

Not really planning to do much today apart from seeing riverdance. Yesterday in Belfast was exhausting, as well as the day before that. Some days you just need to relax and do nothing in particular.

My whole life has been leading up to this point: being able to see Riverdance live. In IRELAND.

I’ve been dreaming of this ever since I was a CHILD. Ten years ago I didn’t believe I’d ever get the opportunity to experience it. But today is the day. Unless something stops me (lol I sure hope not).

Well, I’ve seen Belfast, and now I’m on my way to Dublin. I feel like I should have taken more time for my Belfast visit because now I was in a constant rush even though I just wanted to see a bit of the city centre, eat and see the titanic exhibition (and I managed to do all of that). Would have spent more time in yo sushi and gotten more food if it weren’t for the time limit; I also went through the titanic exhibition pretty quickly (still took me a couple of hours).

If I ever visit Belfast again I’ll be sure to take a few more hours for it (like I did with Bath; my first visit was a couple of hours – part of the Stonehenge/Lacock tour – and on my second visit I spent the entire day there). It’s a nice looking city, based on my first impression. At least now I have that certain “feeling” or “emotion” I can connect with Belfast.

Anyways BELFAST. Idk why but it feels more confusing than Dublin; also is it actually larger? Perhaps the confusion just came from the fact that I could not buy the visitor pass from where I thought I could buy it, and then I had to search for the actual place to buy it from, and then I was struggling to find the right bus stops. Lol maybe this is because I am in a bit of a hurry and it’s my first time in the city.

Dublin bay and Sandymount beach (during low tide). I stayed here until it was dark (kind of had to since the bus traffic has had lots of disruptions today). The twinkling city lights looked really pretty here. It was also nice watching all the dogs playing on the beach because the shore line was so far away.
