A day in the life of... mine - a picture chronicle



200 decibel loud snoring woke me up. I cautiously collected my stuff and left the hostel. At nine am, Galway seemed to be just waking up: shops were being opened, waste bins were being emptied and the streets were being cleaned up. Two hours of sightseeing later, I had been to the St. Nicholas Cathedral, walked down Kirwan’s Lane and almost missed the not so special Spanish Arch. Now that the sun was standing high, I crossed the bridge and went to the beach to kill the remaining hour until my bus towards Dublin would leave. Smiling towards the sun, I had to think of Philipp, who had promised me nothing but bad weather. Only seconds later, I needed all my strength standing against the strong wind. At the same time, I got slapped in the face by heavy rain, hail and salt water. I found myself soaking wet within ten minutes, which left me no other choice than to return to the hostel and beg for them to let me into their bathroom again. Inspecting the damage, I gave up and pulled on the only try piece of clothing left: my pyjamas. Three and a half hour later, everyone on the backed Friday afternoon bus had asked me about my clothes.
