I only had one night in Northern Ireland before heading to a friend\u2019s place near Derry (where Euros are the prevailing currency), and I was determined to make the best use of this money while not having to withdraw more pounds at an ATM and subjecting myself to the associated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/travel-money-guide\/\">withdrawal fees<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/hidden-travel-costs-airline-fees-hotel-fees\/\">Hidden Costs of Traveling, and How to Avoid Them<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With some trepidation, I asked a staff member at the ferry station if it was reasonable to walk to the city centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHa! No, love,\u201d was the response that elicited a cringe from me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow much is the bus?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot sure, but you\u2019d better hurry \u2013 it\u2019s over there, and about to leave,\u201d he said with an encouraging smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I raced to the bus depot to find three buses. I approached the first one. \u201cDo you go to the city centre?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes love, but do you have a pre-paid ticket?\u201d This was a question with what I thought would be an obvious answer, given my initial query.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUm, no.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, you can pay on board here. It\u2019s \u20a43.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strike one. I didn\u2019t know exactly how much I had in my wallet, but I was pretty sure it wasn\u2019t \u20a43.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can try the public bus over there,\u201d he said in response to my crestfallen expression. \u201cIt\u2019s \u20a41.70, and takes you to the same place.\u201d I immediately wondered why anybody would pay \u20a43 for the bus in front of me. Then again, had I more thoroughly researched my destination instead of planning to arrive on a wish and a prayer and playful desire to \u201csee what happened\u201d, I too might have discovered this bus service online, and thinking it was my only option, pre-paid for my own ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I raced over to the public bus and confirmed the destination and price with the friendly driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t by any chance take credit cards, do you?\u201d I said with a hopeful smile. I still wanted to hang on to my change, just in case I needed it for something trivial like food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhere are you from, love?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCanada.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd in Canada, do they accept plastic on the bus?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUm, no. Touche!\u201d I said. We were both smiling. I counted out my coins (thankfully discovering that I actually had enough), took my ticket, and was wished well by my humourous chariot driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>From the moment the first person called me \u201clove\u201d, to the sarcastic-yet-playful sense of humour I experienced in no less than five minutes, to the friendly smiles, regular eye contact and passing conversation with strangers, I knew I\u2019d love Ireland.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/IMG_5666-copy-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"leprechaun museum, Dublin, Ireland\" class=\"wp-image-11324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/IMG_5666-copy-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/IMG_5666-copy-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/IMG_5666-copy-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/IMG_5666-copy.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>Having come off a tiring week of hiking and driving and attending Fringe shows in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/scotland-the-festivals-the-highlands-the-food-the-weather\/\">Scotland<\/a>, I was exhausted.
