Day 8 we spent the morning shopping in Anadau, before jumping back on the road and heading for Frankfurt-hahn airport. The GPS took us on this strange route, through lots of little towns, up winding country roads, through farming areas till we were sure this thing was taking us to China. When we got to where it was telling us was the airport, we both thought 'this can't be right'. We were on an old US military airbase that looked like it hadn't been maintained in years. But yes, this was the airport, and yes we were getting on an international flight from here.... Oh shit!
So we hung out at the 'airport' until our flight then hopped aboard the sky bus (half an hour late). This was really strange. We had reserved seats on the plane, but most people had a general ticket which ment that they got there really early ad lined up in the hope to get the best seat on the plane possible. So as we were boarding people were running past to get onto the plane, it was weird. Then once on everything was very very basic. It was probably one of the scariest flights I have been on.
We landed in Dublin (thanks universe) and hopped the airlink bus into town. We then had to walk up the street to get a tram out to where our hotel was.
Dublin felt nowhere near as safe as Munich. We never saw anything to make us feel unsafe, it was just the feeling in the air. We arrived at our hotel, to be greeted but a cranky man. We then had the worst dinner of our trip so far, two tub salads and juice from the supermarket down stairs from the hotel. It was an interesting day. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
