dublin day 3
Oct. 17th, 2024 11:39 pmhiiii i'm here to tell you more abut our third day in dublin!!!!!!!!!!!
which ACTUALLY was nOT ONLY in dublin but ALSO in NORTHERN IRELAND near BELFAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(this is the view we had from the upstair floor of the double bus)
well, the day didn't start quite good, we were suppose to get to Busàras at 9:45 (i'm not telling you why just yet, you'll see eheh) but we were LATE. we checked the bus we were suppose to take and the time it was suppose to take (about thirty minutes) the night before but we didn't put the right time when looking for the bus sooooooo thank god we checked on it again as we were eaing breakfast (meaning we had to leave WAY earlier and i didn't have time to enjoy my restaurant leftovers >>_<<). so, as the ride was gonna be a looooong one, (it took us a whole hour to get there), we went upstair on the double bus and got to enjoy the morning view of Dublin city (a bit foggy at the beginig of our ride). i gotta admit it was really fucking cool, seeing things so high was very beautiful.
then once we got there, it was about 9:55 (sorry bus driver://) meaning the coach had not left just yet (thank god). so we took the coach to get to our destination near Belfast (i think this coach is the only way to get to the UK without passport btw). there, my sister and i got separated because there was no double seats left. she was at the begining of the coach and i was at back (literally, siting on the last seats).
and thats where i met three german girlies (they were about 40 y.o i think), one of them didn't speak english very well as her friend kept translating everything i said. because the bus driver told us some things before we took the road and, as we were in the back, we couldn't hear everything so i repeated what could hear to them (they were very nice ladies).
THEN AT LAST WE ARRIVED at the .............................................
when we got there, we went for a coffe at the restaurant part, i had to have at least a disgusting coffe before we went in there (it wasn't good) and my sister had to pee. then, we went in. it was phenomenal (okay maybe i'm a bit to much on that one). i loved seeing what they used to make this give the wolrd life, wheter it's the props, the creative process or the insane amount of candles they used (it was said they used a TONE of it, like a lot, i don't remember how much exactly but it was a lot). i don't really know what to tell you more, it's the kind of thing you have to see with your own eyes.
so i'll give you pictures and tell you what my favorite parts of the tour were:

my favorite part was the prosthetics part, i LOVED being able to see how they managed to make monsters so real on human and idk it the kind of work i love to see. it's also fun to see what the makeup artists worked with as a makeup girlie i recognized many products and i have to admit, there are some moment of the show i didn't think were prosthetics, i thought they were only makeup but turns out it was also part the magic, i just loved it

there was also interactive stuff as our house flag that we could create by ourselves (that was fun, you'll see more of this in the vlog).
also here's a pic of me compared to the head of a dragon:

at the end of the tour, we went to the gift shop the we bought a pins and mini iron throne for my mom, a winterfell magnet for me and a Tyrell Growing strong magnet for my sister. the guy there was so nice, he told us baout his trip to dublin with his girlfriend, he gave us some advices on where we should go and what we sould do, he was very joyful.
after all of this, we went back to the restaurant part and ate there (we didn't have time to get lunch else where if we wanted to enjoy the rest of the day out) a simple bread with bacon (way too expensive for bread and bacon but well we were hungry). as we were eating, an old couple (i think?? idk, an old lady and an old guy) were passing by, they saw our nails as we were talking and they both complimented our nails, they said we could've been in Game of Thrones with those nails, it was funny and nice.
(our view on the way back)
then, we went back to the coach to take the road back to Dublin, but some guy with his girlfriend had taken my seat on the coach (we were supposed to leave our stuff there and take back the same seat as when we arrived). i didn't mind it, it just wanted to take my coat back but the german girls were there and they defended me as we were speaking with the busdriver, they were so cute, trying to help me get my seat back even though i didn't care being somewhere else (i explained them this and went to another seat beside a man who was playing some game on his tablet).

then, as we got to Dublin city center, we took advantage of this to have a 2 hours long walk in the street, only to see the city. there, we went to a thrift shop called Nine Crows that was very y2k coded (and skinny coded -_-), i bought a VERY cool shirt in the manswear section. we also wanted to see the temple bar with our own eyes as it is very popular and (already) decorated for Christmas. then, we went to the tourism office where i bought 2 postacrds for my besties:pp
aaaaaaand that was the end of the day, we got home, ate our leftovers (i ate my leftovers and my sister's lefovers too...she ate chicken and rice i think) watching supernatural
