Day 67 - Dublin to Paris

Got up at 6:30, finished packing headed off for this spot near the Spire where the airport shuttle apparently leaves from. Picked up a local Irish delicacy for breakfast, then made it to the spot just in time for the bus. Ride was just under an hour, then checked in for the flight where they charged me 28 Euro extra because i was 4 kg over the 15 kg 'Ryan Air Limit'. Bastards. Then had to sit around for 3 hours for the flight because it was almost an hour late leaving.

The flight was fine. Went up, came down an hour and a bit later, and lost an hour because of time zones. So by the time we landed back at the Beauvais Airport it was almost 2 local time.

Waiting for my luggage i met this kig, Elliot from Ottawa who's only 18 and is taking a year off before going to university. We rode the bus from Beauvais to Paris together, than took the subway together back to the Aloha hostel.

By the time we got to the hostel it was almost 4. Soon as we walked in i ran into Mike (the guy we met originally in Vienna adn then again in Paris the night before we left for Ireland). He'd been there since we left and was leaving the next day for Belgium.

I dropped my stuff off in my room, cleaned up abit, then the 3 of us hit the grocery store to get some cheap beer for the night. On teh way back we hit 'Old Faithful', the same Chineese place that me and Rob had eaten at so many times before. Mike and Elliot were very surprised with the big hello and hand shake that i got from the two owners when we walked in....haha.

We brought the food back to the hostel, ate, then headed to the upstairs common room/movie room. We hung out there for the rest of the night talking, playing cards and telling stories. The three of us ended up being joined by two 20 year old girls who were quite the amusing pair (Edmonton and Melbourne) as well as a very annoying kid from PEI adn later in teh night by a very, very drunk Aussie girl who didn't seem willing to give us the time of day earlier, but was now all of a sudden loving us in her drunken haze. We all got pretty wired up together and all crawled upstairs to bed at some point when the beer was gone. Elliot was especially done in by trying to keep up with Mike and me. The poor kid was in a world of hurt and had he not got so drunk could have had either of the two 20 year old we were with all night....haha. Stupid kid.
