Wednesday the 15th of March, i took the bus to Doolin. The weather was up and down, so i decided to stay in Doolin and would go on a hike the next day. In the evening i walked up to Mc Gann's pub and stayed there the whole evening. The hospitality was straight away really good. The staff did an amazing job, remembering every order with the 2 of them. Nothing was too much for them. With every order or question they got, they were smiling, they were so nice and good. I have so much respect for them!! 7 hours and a bit later i was tired and was planning to walk home. But straight when i said goodbye 2 of the locals got up and wanted to give me a lift back to my hostel. Of course i rejected, the walk home would be nice and fresh air. They hadn't no for an answer though, so i finally got in the car. When i got dropped off, the guy told me a shouldn't get in the car with strangers. I just did, i said hahahah, but you are harmless i said.
Thursday i woke up at a decent time. 10.15am i started with my hike to the Cliffs of Moher. The must see attraction in Doolin surroundings. It started a bit cloudy but the sun came out soon after. At noon i arrived at the Cliffs of Moher. During the hike i hadn't seen that many people, but when i got there...... jezus way too crowded. At 14.30pm i couldn't get warm anymore, so i walked the same way back to Doolin. The first bit i took a different path though, and that path made me drown in mud. My shoes all the way up from 10cm from my ankles, were covered in mud. I was laughing out loud and i couldn't stop laughing anymore. It was me, myself and i walking through quicksand. I didn't meet anyone on the way back till i was almost home. 17.30pm to be exactly. I was wrecked so after some rest i went next door to O' Conners pub. There were 7 bartenders, all men. Where are the woman i asked. Oh we have woman working here was his answer, but they work during the day. We are not racist he said. I ordered a steaksandwich with peppersauce. I got s massive garlic loaf with a good steak, lots of fries, lettuce, fresh and crispy cucumber and fresh tomatoes. It was really nice! I found my bed at 21.00pm that night.
17th of March; st' Patricksday. After attempts to call the nearest doctor i finally got rid off my bad digesting and stomach pain issues. It was a miracle! All together it took me 3 weeks to get sick and feel better again. Claire, Richard, Henry and Mary came alomg with the tasties mandarins and grapes. And we spent 2 rainy days together.
On the 20th of March i took the bus to Galway. The guy at the hostel was really friendly, the hostel itself was a bit crappy though. There was plenty of hot water, but the pressure for cold water was really bad. I stayed in a 4-beddorm. I hoped it was a good idea to have some sleep and rest. Sadly the second night there was this crazy dude, who slammed the door open at 01.00am, talking loud to the guy he just had woken up. When he started to talk in a very rude way about woman and having sex, i opened my eyes, turned around and told him politely to go outside and do his business there. Half hour later he slammed the door again, turning on the light, searching through plastic bags and talking to himself, he would kill someone. At that point i was really scared, i knew what he looked like. Where's my weed he said, someone is going to die! " Oh i found it!" God what was i scared. He definitely came back at 04.24am and slammed the door open again, turned on the light and sprayed right in front of us his aftershave, so much aftershave that i would have died on the spot and he left. There was no bag on his bed in the morning, he hadn't been sleeping in the room at all.
On thursday the 23th of March i left Galway for Dublin. From there i would fly out to Salzburg. Naturfreunde haus on the Monchberg would be my place to stay for the next 3 days. From the Monchberg i had a beautiful view over the Salzburg city, but the hostel staff was not friendly at all. I got the key, no explanation and breakfast would be from 09.00 to 10.00am. There was no touristmap to be found, i was lost the whole day. Then before 17.00pm i wanted to have a small bite at the hostel. They were not smiling, annoyed by the question and after all didn't serve me at all. I had waited 15 minutes, as they knew i wanted to order something and was sitting outside. The 2 girls totally ignored me and the other quests, they were chatting and eating in the kitchen. I left annoyed, changed myself and ate out.
In the morning at 09.15am finally breakfast was served. There was no sorry or apology, not even goodmorning. At 09.35am there was nothing left for the other guests, it was really bad. 2 guys had to share 1 kaiserbread and dirty glasses to drink from. Nobody said anything, but everybody knew. The next mornings they gave you a plate with 2 slices of rye bread with ham, cheese and jam and they handed out to you as here this is yours. There was no goodmorning, goodbye, how was your day, have a good day, not even a smile. This hostel is only good for the amazing view, the rest sucks. Next story is about all the great people i met in Salzburg!
See you soon!
