Arrival in Kinsale

After a short night sleep I woke up very early to catch my flight at 7am. Thanks to the possibility to check in online I didn´t have to arrive hours before. When I tried to check in my luggage the lady at the desk informed me that my carry on was to bulky and I had to repack it. I was so proud that I packed all my belongings in one backpack and one carry-one, now I had to carry two bags around.

After a 3hour flight and one stop in London, Heathrow I arrived in a sunny Ireland. My excitement lasted as long as I found out that my luggage didn´t arrive with me. Somehow I never arrive at the same time as my luggage. After a quick coffee and salad at Starbucks, I took a bus from Cork to Kinsale. The busride was a little scary. The left driving thing is still a little frightning.

From Kinsale town center I took a cab to  the house. It is very nice. It has a nice big kitchen and backyard. My room is on the top floor, it is really nice and from the window I can see the school.

As I´ve only slept 4hours and nothing to unpack I took a long nap. My luggage arrived in the evening and so did my flat mates. Shane and Catherine were so nice to make dinner for me. Later in the evening Catherine drove me to the grocery store to pick up some food for myself.

Back at home I unpacked and went to bed.

Welcome!!

Thanks to my beloved flate mates I decided to write a blog while I am in Kinsale.
Have fun reading it! elke
