Since being in Ireland, we have been staying for the most
part in hostels. Now we know that some people have some scary ideas of what
hostels are really like, so we like to set the record straight.
Hostels are more or less like a college dorm room. We
usually are with ten to twelve other random people. If you want to keep to
yourself you can, but if you want to meet someone new, you also can very
easily. Everyone is very friendly. A lot of them would probably be considered
hippies more or less with their very minimalist outlook and long hair.
We sleep in bunk beds and can’t complain. They are pretty
comfy (better than the floor at least). The showers have warm water; however it
stops working after about twenty seconds so you have to continually push a
button to keep it going, but really no big deal. There is free wifi, a lounge
room, and sometimes free entertainment to boot! We also get a free breakfast
(toast and coffee) if we get up in time (but that occurs probably only half the
time). The best part is the staff. Everyone is so friendly and helps us with
any question we have.
We think if anything, the biggest complaint we have would be
the snoring and farting that you hear throughout the night. Yep, both! After
awhile you do get used to it and fortunately for Kristen she can’t smell
anything anyways so the farting is not really an issue, but it is comical. And
although both of us are very mature people, we can’t help but chuckle just a
little bit when we do hear something a little ghastly come from a random corner
of the room.
