Day 4 (Europe & Going)

We woke up around 7:30AM
We had little sleep,
Plus our bodies didn't rest well.
They hurt worse than the day before.
However we packed up and headed into town.
The girls from last night mentioned an Internet Café we should check out.
Said that we should look on getting 
tickets on the "Dart", same thing as Trax.
We also had to get some groceries.
We started at an Internet Café.
They charged us €4 for an hour. 
Which is about $5.33
Good thing Darien is more strict
with our budget than I,
Because I would've stayed longer.

We found out flying is our cheapest route!
Flying! Weird right?
Our tickets to Barcelona, Spain
(Yeah, awesome right?)
Were €30 for the both of us!
€7 for each ticket, plus tax and insurance.
And one check bag was €25.
So it came to about €56! 
Flying is always the best way out of these bloody islands.

After getting that situated we got ourselves food.
Since we use the cheapest budget we use grocery stores.
Tesco & SuperValu are our best friends!
They don't have Wal*Mart here!
So our food costs are really low!
We live off Pita Bread & Jam.
With the occasional fruit here and there.
After that we walked.
And walked.
And walked.

Poor Darien got some bad blisters.
I got none! Wool Socks, they're must have. 
Just be glad you didn't see him pop it!
We seriously walked forever.
Our direction was South, and south was our destination.
Worst idea ever.
We were tired and sore!
But we kept walking!
We walked about 20 miles to a city called Bray. 
We took a bus for the last 2-3 miles there.
We needed it!
We couldn't find housing,
Darien wanted to go hobo style.
But it was cold, we forgot our jackets
... we know, we know, don't scold us ...
But I convinced Darien,
With a proposition, 
if he could find a place that sells jackets
Before 8:30 then I would sleep outside.
If not we're staying in.
I won, most places here close super early!
"I love it(:"
So we stayed at a lovely Bed & Breakfast
It was €50 for the both of us
But holy cow, the place was amazing.
At least for what we've been through.
It was like a home, with our own bedroom.
However the shower sucked!!
Worse than the hostel!
Sure it was clean but that devil burned you!
It would also freeze you!
There was no warm temperature.
It was either freezing cold or blistering hot!!
Damned thing coulda killed you I swear (literally)!
It was very painful, 
Luckily those beds made up for it.
Imagine a cloud, but one you can't fall through.
Tempurdic beds had nothing on those beds! 
It has about 3 blankets, that were super silky, smooth, and thick enough to keep you warm.
I'm a claustrophobic guy, but this thing didn't constrain me.
I felt like I was floating in air over a ocean.
Did I forget our window had a direct view of the coast?  
Both Darien and I fell asleep quicker then 
we could enjoy any other heavenly things the place had to offer. 
Sadly we didn't take many pictures,
Got lost in the real beauty of the world to remember our worldly connections.
However I did snag this. 

I took the master bed, she was a beaut. 
She even had padding on her backboard!
Ahhh, Bray was gorgeous from that room.
Anyways we sent love to our family by messaging them that night and then we knocked out.
Can I say it was perfect? Cuz that night, if you forget about what we spent, was amazing.

It's nice being able to rest after long exhausting trips.
You can't overwork yourself.
So taking breaks like this,
Even if it costs more
Refreshes you. 
So indulge yourself fellow readers!
You deserve it every once in a while(:

... If I don't post tomorrow, than might have fought the old lady to stay in this amazing bed... 

G'night!
