Dingle

Took the train/bus combo out to Dingle town on the Dingle Peninsula yesterday and spent the afternoon restocking my food supply and chilling out on a grass covered seawalk type thing. When I first arrived, I hadn't yet called the hostel that I was looking to stay at from my guidebook, but there was a guy with a van -belonging to a different hostel- picking up other girls off the bus so I asked how far it was and if there was room and hopped in the van. Forgot to ask about the price, but it turned out good so that was cool and I "booked" two nights.
I spent today wandering around the town and then I walked East and past the lighthouse. Dingle town is on a bay and the path led out of the bay to where it meets the rest of the ocean. Very beautiful and I highly recommend coming here some time. Just kind of taking things easy, probably hitch a ride back to the hostel with the van as it picks people up off the bus every two hours.
I'm currently trying to figure out how to get to Galway tomorrow on the train because this is apparently a foreign concept in Ireland. It's possible, but it's going to take all day and three or four stops. The bus, on the other hand is only two switches and 5 rather then 10 hours travel time. The deciding factor is going to be the cost since the train is pretty much free at this point and the bus would be €22. Meh...
That's all for now really. Okay, bye.
