Go to the airport early to avoid traffic since my parents are taking me up after lunch. Get through all the security relatively quickly and get to the gate then use the airport wifi to do some research for the trip while I wait to board. Plane is relatively empty for what I was expecting but I guess a pandemic will do that. Watch wonder woman before taking a nap. Wake up when they are passing out food (I have a 6th sense for food :) ) and it is ok then I watch Kong v Godzilla and Honest thief which are both really enjoyable movies.

| When in rom... ehh Ireland. |
Get into Frankfurt and walk around the airport a little then get to the gate and there is a long line as they are checking documents for everyone at the gate. The airport has no AC or its off cause of covid so Im sweating a bit. Get on the plane, if you want snacks you have to pay for them (unsure if thats a covid thing or if thats just the way things are going for all airlines). Finally arrive in Ireland with a pretty full flight and get to immigration which takes 1.5 hours to get through as there were not many agents and one of them was occupied for no joke like 45 minutes with one dude. Unsure what was going on but yeah not being from the EU really hurt then as they got ushered to the front of the line. Finally get through, get my bag then get over to the bus which I took the express as when I looked it up that was the only option but once I was in town, found some city busses that were much cheaper and just as good (as is usually the case). Get into the city and find my way to the hostel and chill there until it is time to check in. After putting bags in the room and getting settled, walk around the temple bar area to many of the churches which all require money to enter unless you are going in for service (I am used to churches just being open so that was a little annoying). Enjoy the weather and walking around but was unable to get onto Trinity to see their library cause of covid (had to have a student/employee ID to get on campus). Eventually wind up at Hogan's for a Guinness cause I am in Ireland so why not :) . After that, head over to Umi to get a falafel wrap for dinner which I take back to the hostel to eat there. Feeling better with grub in my belly, I head up to shower and get ready for bed rather early but its been a long day of travel so definitely deserved haha
