Jane and I took the train to Dublin at around 10:30 in the morning, and we were there by 1! We were meeting up with Nicole and her two friends, all who had taken the bus in earlier. It was incredibly easy, and so convenient to get there. The Christmas Markets were right outside of St. Stephen's Green, lining the gates to the park. The weather was great and there were loads of people there. Our first stop was a food stand, obviously. Jane and I were starving. The start of our meal consisted of salted carmel popcorn, and then we moved on to hot dogs (which were massive)! The food was awesome, especially for street food. Jane and I were commenting on how street food in Europe is actually really delicious!
After getting something to eat in the Markets, we walked around them for a little while to get some shopping done. I had a bunch of Christmas gifts I still needed to pick up. Luckily, the Markets had a lot of items I was looking for! Everyone at home, get excited for your coming presents :)
Once we were done with the Markets, we headed over to O'Connell Street. The city was hosting a Make a Wish Foundation event to see if they could break the world record of the number of people wearing Christmas sweaters in one location. This event was one of the main reasons why we came to the city for the day, we are open to anything involving Christmas sweaters! There were a lot of people and lots of fun activities going on, we were even interviewed for a local radio station! Unfortunately, we could not stay fro the tree lighting. It was time to get back to Cork and finish up some work!
Be back soon!
