Day Three (Dec. 30th)

Location: Dublin, Ireland/Paris, France

Mission: Find Fish n' Chips, get to the airport to catch our flight to Paris, France. / Find our couch surfer.

Transportation: Feet and public bus.

Time to checkout. We leave the Abbey Hotel and make our way back into the cold, windy city of Dublin. We passed a few pubs the other night and wanted to check them out again. After a few short minutes, we arrived at "Madigans."

A cute, alley-way pub was just what we wanted. We were greeted and seated, what to eat? After a few moments, "Bangers and Mash" along with "Fish n' Chips" sounded delightful. The food, paired with Carlsberg beer, was AMAZING. The sausage was delicious, as were the chips!

After lunch, we did just a little more walking. Our flight to Paris was later in the evening, but we have a habit of getting to the airport quite early. This time was no exception.

We made it to Dublin Airport, and were soon off to Paris France. Here, we took my scariest plane ride ever. Upon our departure out of Dublin, the rain was constant. As we lifted off the ground, we were being pelted by the rain and flying into the thick of it. After a few short minutes, we were above the storm!

Paris: We landed at a smaller airport about an hour from the city. A shuttle bus, at the rate of 14 Euros a person, was our only transportation into the city. The bus was full and the ride made us quite sleepy.

Sylvain our couch surfer would be waiting for us...or would he?
