I have arrived! I have arrived to a wet and windy Dublin, that my taxi driver assures me is typical of Dublin at this time of year. There was some fun and games with the taxi pickup as my NZ number couldn't reach me, and I was not able to dial out. Eventually a good ol' fashion payphone sorted things.
The hotel Google has me staying at is very nice, and so far have had a great experience.
I shall go in search of iPhone charger cables, as it seems mine has gotten damaged and now drains the phone rather than charges it (I fortunately brought with me a cheap $2 iPhone cable that barely works, but at least does charge it).
