10 hour long busdrive with crazy busdriver

(Saturday 25.06)
I woke up unbelievably early, cause the girls in the beds above us, were leaving for an airplane. This was like 05.30, and because of them, and my squeaky bed, I did not get more sleep. So I just laid there and waited... and waited. I was awfully hungry as well, and the breakfast were not before 07.00.
When the clock was 06.55, and almost ran down to the breakfast. I was all alone there...
Since I was finished packing yesterday, I could relax, and eat properly. And then I went up again, to fetch Synneve. I got her up, and we went down again, this time with luggage, and I ended up looking at Synneve eating breakfast.
We found a handsome man to look at, and everything was nice.
At about 09.30 did I leave the hostel. And GOD how much time Synneve used to get out. I waited, and waited...

Then we walked to the bus-station, and found the bus.
We knew this would be a long bus drive.

The first bus drove to Galway, were we ended up eating lunch. The next bus was going to Derry, but in Sligo we had to change bus-driver. And this is the craziest bus-driver I have EVER met.

The bus, which normally GETS overtaken, was now the one that was overtaking other cars. It felt like we flew over the hills, and Synneve looked anxiously on me, and I ended up finding my own seat. I sat alone for quite a while, until this group of young people entered the bus. They came on the bus in Donegal, and they were going to Derry. And right next to me, this handsome, young man sat down, and he fell asleep. We had to fasten the seat belt, so that he didn't fall into the gangway.
And NO, he did NOT wake up when I was getting off the bus, so I had to climb OVER him, and he did not wake up by that either.

We were now in Letterkenny, and Brian (our host) was waiting for us. In his car were also another couch surfer, this was Sam(ira). She was from Switzerland. When we got to Brian's house, were there 3 other couch surfers. Frank from Germany and Aimée* and Elie* (not sure how they write their names).
We had a great time, with loads of singing, drinking and smoking. Fabulous people!
We ate great food that Sam made, and we did not get to bed before 03.30. At that time I had been awake for 21 hours, so I was knackered.

I slept on an inflatable mattress, with Synneve. I fell to sleep almost right away.
