Arrived in Dublin yesterday AM with 2 friends and was only supposed to be here till this evening but someone cocked up! Anyway, could not hire car, no one had DL. So took taxi from North City to Ballsbridge and I thought when I saw fare he was selling me the car!! Then when I asked Hotel to stay for 2 extra nights and it was going from 220 per night to 495 for tonight because of Rod Stewart and rugby, jeez what!! got special rate as here till Monday but Christ what a rip off. Taxi from Ballsbridge to 3 arena last night was outrageous, but tried to get cab from Harcourt st to Ballsbridge at 4 am and could not even buy one (long walk). Got car today from work friends here, so got to spend some hours with someone very special and same tomorrow. Oh, BTW cheapest tickets for rugby were 500, are we back in “tiger land” again? and how the hell do you Ladies manage it or even bother to come over.?? You guys are very lucky with quality and price here!!
