Cute card eh? One of the souvenirs I picked up in Brighton. But today it's on to London! Direct train to the Victoria station, and then I need to get a handle on the tube system here. Which thankfully is pretty easy. What I wouldn't give to live in a city with a fully integrated subway system, there is no better way to travel! Anyway, got to the station I needed, a short jaunt, and dropped the bag before heading out for a run. It was a gorgeous day for it, and be...

Last full day in Brighton, and happy Canada Day!!! Spent the day wandering what areas I hadn't yesterday and found the other shopping lanes...I was good....mostly. Decided to have lunch on the beach with a sandwich and cookies (I found the best cookies ever! Sorry Mary). However I neglected to take into account the seagulls - they are vicious! Like, one actually clipped me with their wing when they tried to physically take my sandwich. So new plan, hanging out on...

We have reached the 'chill' portion of the vacation. I have nothing planned for Brighton but good food, shopping and chilling by the ocean. Granted it's not exactly warm here, but everything else is definitely checked off (the shopping may have been checked off a little too enthusiastically). I also finally went out for a run after two weeks off, so yay, getting back on track there. The town is all narrow lanes and tall stone town homes, it's easy to just wander ...

Travel day! And that's definitely a sarcastic exclamation point, not an excited one. Slept in, packed up, and went for sushi for lunch before I headed to the airport early, as Ryan Air is the devil and I don't trust it. Got to the airport, got through security super fast, aaand the flight was delayed....twice. Swear to god, the most disorganized airline ever. Finally made it to London and grabbed the train to Brighton direct from the airport. Yay for well designe...

Last full day in Dublin and I have a few things to check off my tourist list still. Today the plan is the Dublin museum of Archeology, the Guinness ness Storehouse, and Kilmainham Gaol (which is pronounced jail...seriously). The Museum of Archeology was first and had some interesting exhibits, from gold working to Viking weapons and pottery, to human remains that were centuries old. A lot of history and finds for such a small country. Still, I was out of there p...
