Castles by Day, Pubs by Night

The Lonesome Traveller

Well, just about ready to head to bed. Doubts are creeping in and have all day. Sure is lonesome travelling by myself. I always have so much fun with Amber. I should have taken the money and went somewhere closer with Amber, like Florida or California, or even the Grand Canyon like she wanted. We could have gone for a week instead of me going for 3 alone. Maybe it's just the hostel I chose or the time of year. Most of the others here are students with no interest in knowing anyone but themselves, and honestly two of them I could care less if I did know them - typical Americans who are as arrogant as they come, and a gross misshapen Asian, both of whom plague the tv lounge and the two best spots for what seems like 24 hours a day, like they own the place. What ordinary people.


Made the decision to travel to Galway tomorrow morning. Hopefully things will be better from there. I haven't slept a heck of a lot, and when I do, it's much later in the night, near 3 or 4pm, which tells me I've not yet adjusted to the time change. I'll have to get some good quality sleep soon though as my body is feeling it. Been having a number of naps throughout the day though.


Some kind of scrap outside or something. Probably from the two pubs across the street. Gone now, I didn't even go out to look. The windows here keep out no sound at all. Hear a fella fart for sure, just strolling down the road. Seems to be a lot of walking traffic on this street but I don't know why. I didn't explore much around me, didn't have the energy, so hope to see more of Galway than I have of Limerick.


What I would really like to do is go stay with a family in some tiny costal town, but I don't see that happening. From Galway though I hope to see some of the coast. Now it's time to turn in.
