A lot of travelling& drinking

Belfast was so much fun, we left Letterkenny early and got a lift from Andrew, who was also giving Alan a lift, to Derry. In Derry we met a frantic Claire and a calm Fiona waiting in front of a bus and we bought tickets and we where on our way to Belfast.
The bus journey was fun. The horn of Gondor was back and Fiona Burke who I trusted decided to make me feel all the feels by asking me what I would do if Liam Payne deleted his twitter. To which I couldn't speak and couldn't look at her for a good couple of minutes.
When we arrived in Belfast we went straight to subway since we where all starved and then only me, Claire and Andy bought stuff. I gave my cookie to Alan because he looked like he was going to die. ha! While in Subway Claire, the monsterus bitch, decided she wanted to attack me by telling me she hated on Tom Daley which would have been grand if she had not already decided she hated 4/5 members on One Direction. So we all gave her hate for it.
Disclamer we do not hate Claire and we are not those crazy massive scary fans of One Direction but we do like 1D a lot. ha!
After Subway we went to try and find our way to the Ulster Museum which caused a lot of google maps and asking people directions. We eventually found it. It was great craic! Even though Fiona told us how easy it was to get seperated and lost in the museum we ended up breaking into two groups. Me and Andrew who wanted to see everything and Claire, Alan and Fiona who just wanted to see the art. Me and Andrew almost ran through every room trying to see as much as possible as quickly as possible. I don't know what Claire, Alan and Fiona did but I assume they just looked at a few things then went up to the art.
When me and Andrew finally got to the art at the very top of the museum we ran into Claire, Alan and Fiona as soon as we walked through the doors but just before we walked through those doors some guy was looking and me and Andrew and saying things to his friends about us so I decided to wave to be a polite bitch. Which I did and as my hand was coming back down it caught on the side of the glass barrier to stop being falling from the top floor to the enterence floor and it took off a small chunk of skin which bled and bled and bled so I had to go down to the reception on the bottom floor and get a plaster and clean up the cut. I am such a idiot. Ha! After I got the cut sorted we finally got to go in and see the art. Di Vinchi is amazing don't get me wrong and I understood why it was so dark in the room of his sketches but they where sketches of his lesser known but still amazing work. The biggest down side to his exebition was there was only a couple of sketches which was disapointing. I expected there to be twice as many sketches.
So after we left the Di Vinchi room we went out and filled out a comment card. I started to write it but then Alan had to take over becuase the cut was on my left hand and I am left handed. We wrote about how there was an error in the spelling and how it was a good exibition but it could have been better! And to make it all worse there was no 'other comments' area on the comment card. I was not impressed so we wrote on the other side of the sheet about it and our other faults with the exitibiton.
As we left the museum we went to the gift shop like every other person where leaving an exhibition.
we saw some cool and frankly over priced stuff in there. I didn't get anything. The only person who did was Andrew who bought one of those cups kids have. The ones with the straw built into it.

After the museum we could finally go shopping. After walking around Belfast for what seemed like a year to find Victoria Square we finally found it. I got some really cool things like a really hypster hat from Topman as well as shirt from there. I also got two shirts from Urban Outfitters. I top saying LA with astec print inside the L and the A and a Saved By The Bell shirt. one of the whole gang. I already had a Kelly shirt from when I was in Dublin last time. I spent around 40 euro on it then and now it was down to 10pound about 2 months later! oh well, I guess that's life.
I was really disappointed with H&M. It is one of my favourite shops and it was so poorly laid out and the stock was literally all over the shop. I got a pair of mustard braces which when my friend described them to me I thought they sounded disgusting but they actually where really really nice so I bought them.

I also bought my friend Caoimhe a picture frame from UO as a late birthday present. It was really pretty. She put a picture of her and her boyfriend in it and it looks so cute.

After shopping I got Pizza Hut and we where then racing to try and get a bus we had no hope of getting. so we ran around Belfast looking for it. We missed it and then we had an hour wait to get the next one but it was lucky because it gave us a chance to relax and a chance for me to eat my pizza in peace :P I gave Alan a slice and it had prawns on it. Alan had never tried prawns before this and he liked them. :)
We got the bus back and we sat at the back of the top deck and began talking about how many people we had shifted and just generally catching up. It was a fantastic trip and when we got back Fiona was picked up and me, Clare, Alan and Andrew went off to Claires house where we stayed and watched Mean Girls which Andrew was so against and now loves.
In the morning we started to watch St. Elmos Fire but the start of the movie we couldn't hear because Alan and Claire spoke through it about how Claire was Wendy. Claire hates Wendy even though she's awesome. Then when we started to watch the movie Andys mom shown up to give me, Andrew, Alan and Chris (Claires brother) a lift into town. When we got into town we dropped Chris off and me and Alan stayed in to help Alans mom lead her cookery course. Which was awesome. I did a lot of washing up! ha! I got to eat so many cookies too which is always a plus.

After the cookery course it was straight to the bus stop to get the bus to Kerrykeel to visit Caoimhe and give her her present. (which I only then remembered I had left in the book of Andys car and Andy was not coming) It was me Claire, Alan and Caoimhe in Kerrykeel. We played a couple of car games. got very drunk and ended up have massive DMC's about everything. We cooked casadias. They where amazing :)

All in all we had a good trip.
