Tales from Touring (part 1)

So my Irish tour has begun, in Lisburn, Northern Ireland,  the two shows went very well. I had to get the train to the next town, Drogheda in the South. So I went to the station bought a ticket and waited for the train. The train came, but didn't stop at the station, but past it. It was hilarious, for me anyway. Apparently the train usually doesn't stop at Lisburn on its way to Dublin. This was the only service that does during  the week. It took about half an hour to get permissions, phone calls, signal changes, and re-routing the trains behind. Then I was able to board and head down to Drogheda. Very comfy and clean trains. Yay! But it still makes me laugh!
Drogheda - lovely busy little town, many people at church (its a Sunday!). I'm staying, courtesy of the arts centre, at a lovely hotel on the riverfront, The D Hotel. Very nice river view, modern furniture, very flash TV and an excellent and free internet connection!
Tommorrow - two schools shows in the morning and off to Sligo.
