The land of the midnight sun didn’t disappoint; it stayed light and windy all night. Bright and early we started out for the airport to catch our flight to Dublin and then on to Edinburgh.
So a few weeks ago I was writing down our itinerary addresses and we realized that our original hotel that had been booked for Reykjavik had closed. Thankfully the Hotel Fron where we had stayed with the Hursts came through! Great little apartment we stayed in was perfect and the perfect location!
Off to the airport we went. Dropping off the car however brought around some obstacles however. The line for the shuttle back to the hotel took forever but thankfully we still had time. However almost everything is automated and done by you. We printed the bag tags, put them on, and sent them through the system. It’s frustrating for sure! But we figured it out, grabbed some sandwiches and ran to the gate. We made it no problem but no waiting around at all.
We were all exhausted by now so sleeping on the plane wasn’t too much to expect. It’s only a 2 hour flight into Dublin but the rest was much needed for everyone!
Landing in Dublin basically scared Seamus and me to death. We weren’t quite ready for the SMACK of the plane on the runway. We did laugh for about 10 minutes after due to our shock🤣🤣
Now this time our experience was much easier compared to last time. Todd and Dee may have ptsd after seeing some of the photos here😉. We walked up to Burger King to grab lunch where Joe had a totally new experience: Guinness at Burger King. Not even making this up! Yes, Joe was in heaven!
Ryanair. You just never know what will happen. This flight was uneventful though and we landed in Edinburgh about an hour later. Easy transition to the taxi stand and off to the Royal Mile to our airbnb!
Finally we made our way up the Royal Mile to Deacon Brody’s Tavern for dinner. We learned that under 18s can’t be out after 9:00. Oops. They still fed us🤪. The boys had brisket burgers and I had a stovie which was like beef stew. It was delicious! Then we headed back to do laundry and sleep finally!!
