Worst Day Of My Holiday

On the day I was meant to be going to Dublin, I was staying in Notting Hill and went to the Underground station and asked the man how to get to the airport. He sent me back to Kings Cross and then I had to change trains/tubes (what ever they are called there lol) and go to the airport... After a while I realise I was running really late for my flight, then... it stopped at Notting Hill!!!! I couldn’t believe it... the guy had sent me completely the wrong way.

I got to the airport about 10 minutes before my plane was due to depart and they wouldn’t let me board, so, being and 18 year old girl, overseas, by my self and having just missed my flight, i burst into tears... then the airport staff were really helpful and booked me on the next flight (which was only an hour away) for no additional cost and even gave me a voucher for a free meal. So I went and had some breaky and got on my flight and flew to Dublin.... but my dramas didn’t stop there...

When I arrived I got in a Taxi and got him to drive me to my accommodation which I had booked before I left Sydney, I then found out that Dublin works in Euros not GB Pound and he definitely ripped me off because he charged me 20 pound for a 5 minute trip, but I didn’t care after the morning i had just had...

But still... it didn’t stop there...

the Tax driver left, I walked up to the door of my accommodation to find that they were closed and hadn't told me... not to mention, this place was in the middle of no where... I had no taxi, no phone number for the local taxi company, not even the local directory assistance number and when i tried calling my friend in England to find out any of these details, he was at work and therefore couldn't answer...

I walked for about an hour before I saw a sign that said 95 Euro per night... I don't think I've ever run so fast in my life... i ran in the door and said to the lady at the desk 'please tell me you have a room available' and thank goodness... they did... so i paid probably double what I was going to pay at the other place but after that day i simply didn't care! I went to my room, ordered room service, got some 'Alco pops' and watched old episodes of Home and Away that were on local TV there and didn’t move for the rest of the night.... But at least that was the worst that happened on my whole trip :-)
