Once more into the Garda National Immigration Bureau

Once more into the Garda National Immigration Bureau a.k.a G.N.I.B. that dreaded Irish institution which rates 2 whole stars on Google Maps.

We're doing it in style today, arriving more than an hour in advance of our appointment (a trivial renewal of Hazel as a dependant on my existing visa) we got our number then went out for a nice dinner. After we get back from dinner I see that we should have relaxed for an extra 30 minutes because they're nowhere near our number yet. Maybe in another hour.

We booked this appointment a couple of months ago, but it's not really an appointment, more like a right to join the queue. If I'd known that I'd have made sure we turned up at 18:00 for our 20:00 appointment. :-/

At least the cleaning staff are friendly - I hope that we get to leave before they do though.
