Followed

You know that feeling like someone's following you. All of a sudden they're a couple of steps behind you and seem to be walking in the same pace. So you naturally slow down to just let them pass. Because that's what they normally do. Because they are not following you obvs, they just happened to walk the same way at the same pace. Happens.

Not yesterday though. And when did it get so dark at 9PM?

So I heard footsteps behind me and saw a shadow that told me he was only a couple of steps behind me. So I slowed down a little. So did he. I slowed down even more. So did he. I was practically standing still pretending to look at cars and the scenery etc. and so was he all of a sudden. WTF? I could see it in the corner of my eye who it was. My downstairs neighbour who is not all there in the head. Super creepy. Always lurking behind the corner or in his flat. Harmless, I think.

Proper full stop now to "enjoy" the sea view (in pitch dark). He must walk on, what other choice does he have? Well, he chose to stop too, a couple steps behind me, just so I could see him from the corner of my eye. Whaaaaaaaat? Are you kidding me? Took my phone out and texted Mr. Special that I'm being followed. Waited ages (a couple of minutes) for him to reply. And yes all this time a figure was standing behind me.

Where is Mr. Special when you need him? Not looking at his phone that's where. I felt awkward just standing there so I went to sit down on a freaking wet bench! It had just rained. And had my phone out waiting for a reply. He came with and me stood a couple of steps to my left now. He couldn't stand behind me as he would've been on the road then. WTF do I do. If I move he'll just follow me! 

So I started playing candy crush. If he wants to be awkward and stand there like a weirdo. Go for it! Luckily he now left. Disappeared (quite fast now) into the darkness that surrounds the castle. So I got up and went home as quickly as possible too. Constantly looking over my shoulder now... (and yes with a wet bum... :D )

She's hiding behind a bush

Soooooo....

The Ireland trip wasn't as expected. I wanted a nice roadtrip to see all the castles and cliffs and wild horses and all that cliché Ireland stuff. But (as always) we ended up just taking the bus to Cork :D


The first (half)day we went to the Guinness Storehouse. MR. Special didn't get through ticket barriers LOL. Something (stupid) always happens to him :D :D :D. Storehouse was huge and full of all the information on how they brew Guinness, but I think the best part was getting there through the streets lined with the building(s). Gave a different feel to the city.




Temple bar that was buzzing with buskers during the night
but eerily full of trash 6AM

The next day we made our way to Cork and climbed up to our posh spa hotel. (20 minutes in the rain uphill is no joke but worth it in the end). Then the best thing ever happened. I was in our room and Mr. Special had gone out to explore or something. Suddenly I heard a frantic Jasmine! Jasmine! open the door! So I went to peek out the peeping hole expecting to find him aimlessly wandering around the corridor bc he forgot what room we're in. But the hallway was empty?!?! No one there... I'm sure I just heard his voice. And then a lot angrier voice cried out Jasmine open this door! So I did and guess what I found! :D He was frantically trying to open the door next to ours!!!! :D :D I nearly died.

Breakfast at the fanciest hotel that I've stayed evvvah!

Trying new food. Chilli beef. Who knew I'd actually enjoy it. (it did become too hot in the end :D)

Cocktail with a view in the best hotel evvah

Not the best tapas at the best hotel evvah
(Apparently they changed the menu between ordering and receiving food :D, so yeap a bit of dramah)

Blarney castle

The half day trip to Blarney castle was the best part of the trip. The castle itself isn't much unfortunately but the grounds are huge. Before we knew it we were stuck in a queue inside the castle not really knowing what it's all about. Soon turned out to be the line to kiss the stone.

We had queued a good 5 minutes before in the courtyard before taking this photo

Finally at the top where all the action is. At first I said I don't want to kiss the stone, but it is good luck and we had queued through the freaking castle, yes even on the winding small stairs, to get there. It'd be stupid to just walk past. So I pretended, bc it all happened so fast: you actually have to get on your back and lower yourself down headfirst to reach the stone. There is a guy to help you. Didn't feel safe at all... And I didn't reach the proper stone... So I just made the sound :D

Yay it "only"took us about 30 minutes.
(I love my watch :))

Kissing the stone as seen from below

See the weird position they put you in?



Another house on the grounds but as you had to pay extra for entering we didn't.

OMG the best part! Like an actual jungle with a waterfall!

The next day we went to Cork city gaol. The jail. And for some reason it looks so familiar...


We had a free guided tour there :)

When we started to leave I noticed Mr. Special was on his phone and not paying any attention to me :D So I "disappeared" God he couldn't find me at all. Finally when he already left the premises (thinking I had too) I ran after him. And apparently as he was looking so sad trying to find me some guy had told him that I'm hiding behind the bush :D Awkward :D

The view to Cork from close to the jail

Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral

The "amazing" Cork castle :D Yes, it's that small. And since it was closed on the day we went, it wasn't worth the 40 minute bus ride from town centre... I couldn't believe it :D

We spent the last day of our trip in Dublin again.

Dublin castle






OMG the best Greek restaurant!!!! This food was soooo good.
Mr. Special grizzled at first and didn't want to go there but he loves it now too!


I've definitely seen you before ;)



Throughout our trip I made videos with our fakegopro. Thinking how cool it would be to make a short clip about our trip but after uploading them to the computer all the vids are jumpy and glitchy :S There goes my dream of being a vlogger :D

Maybe I should buy a proper gopro bc the ideas I had were cool man!
