When my hubby drove me to Düsseldorf airport, the weather was already Irish. It was raining cats and dogs. It seems heaven prepared me for the Irish weather. I was glad there was no traffic jam that I arrived 2 hours before my flight to Dublin. I checked in online the night before I flew and so I only had to drop off my luggage. Travelling alone made me nervous and I had to be careful not to miss the right Boarding Gate. It was a 20 minutes walk to my boarding gate. I was glad I was and still is good by foot.
The flight was only 1 hour and 15 minutes. I arrived in Dublin airport on time and I still had 2 hours to wait until my Aircoach bus drove to Cork city. Guess what the weather was in Dublin!
I had time to check what was new in Dublin airport since I last flew from there to Germany 14 years ago. Nothing much change but it’s modernised.
The drive from Dublin airport to Cork city was 3 1/2 hours. It stopped only once in the city center to collect some passengers. There were lots of tourists inside the bus and the most loud of them all were the Italians. I was so tired so I was still able to sleep a bit. I was glad that I went 3 times in the comfort room in the airport before my bus travel. I noticed that there was no toilet at all inside the bus. Yes, they have internet but didn’t use it. I could charge my phone but I had to use USB charger and so I didn’t do it as well.
When I arrived in Cork Aircoach Bus Station, my cousin and her husband were there already. They helped me with my luggage and off we drove to their home.
It was a long day travel for me and I was grateful that I arrived safely. I was so hungry. Thankfully my cousin had cooked our dinner before they collected me.
Ladies and gentlemen, I hope it is not long for you to read. Thank you. I hope everything is well with you all.

I certainly would have needed the toilet during that trip !
Have a lovely visit with your cousin.

I noticed that there was no toilet at all inside the bus.
Omg
Wow
In three and a half hours I would have to piss at least 3 or 4 times
And maybe take a dump as well.
What could I have done on the bus you were on?
