Spent about 2 hours wandering round the streets in the early hours of a satdee

pissed and lost.

I'm actually bloody good at directions, I only need to go somewhere once and I can find it again.
I learn my way around quickly.

The problem with Dublin is how it is nicely bisected by the river.
In my drunken state i'd remember that we had crossed the river, but forgotten that we'd crossed back again.

Therefore when I wanted to walk back to the hostel, I crossed the river and proceeded to where the hostel should have been. It wasn't.
I was far too drunk to work out why this was, and wandered like a confused homing pigeon for a couple of hours.
Until I started to sober up enough to ask a copper, without appearing so drunk that i needed a night in the cells. Got back 5 minutes after that.

Little tip, ringing the wife who is in bed, asleep, back in the UK, is not the best way to get un losted when abroad.
Ringing the people you are with tends to work better, but only if you can provide more detail to the question
"Where are you"
than
"Near a big tall silver thing".
