The longer I'm here, the more I love it.The things that strike me-1.  The weather - ( a very English thing to talk about!) So changeable here! They said it would be good weather this morning, it looked like it, yet when I left it statrted drizzling and by the time I got into town it was proper…

6 weeks ireland. 4 weeks U.K., Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, who knows

About 3 weeks ago my friend, Leanne, came over from The Netherlands for a visit. Since I didn't see much of Ireland so far and of course, she wanted to see some as well, we decided to do the coast of Ireland in 7 days. But before we started we wanted to go camping in Connemara, which ended in a dis…

Driving around Ireland with Mum and Dean

My bus ride to Galway could have been (if I may be so dramatic) a catastrophic one. Apparently, when the driver said our stopover in Limerick would end at 12:50, what he meant was 12:20. So when I came back from grabbing food and running to the loo, ready to board at 12:40, the bus--and my bag, sto…

I woke early this morning, still in Kinvara at the Doorus House, and found that the sun was up.  By early I mean 0500hrs.  I was wide awake so I went for a run.  It was very enjoyable, I didn't even notice the the marshpits that probably smelled really bad.I drove to Galway and since…

Visiting Europe in March of 2007. I had a great time and can't wait to do it again.

It's been the hottest in Ireland for the past ten years, they say. There's massive heat waves all across Europe. This includes Ireland. Temperatures have been recorded in Europe at 40 degrees Celcius. The temperatures have fallen again, and it's back to chilly and rainy. Ah, fine Irish summers.…

The Galway Races is a Horse-racing festival that takes place for a week starting on the last Monday in July. My very short and small red-skinned Irish roommate in college would go on and on about how great the Galway Races are, on top of which his uncle owned a bar in Galway. One of my best fr…

Hey losers in Vancouver, Ashley and I are travelling to a far away land known to some as Europe in search of overblown touristy crap as well as meeting genuine Euro-trash. I will try and keep up with this to let you know how our escapades are going.

A road trip with Eric and Ryan for a week through the Irish Countryside highlighted by the TB meetup!

Galway City was more my kind of place than Dublin.  Beautiful city!  Much more of a medieval feel, slower paced.  Great food and caught some excellent traditional music too.Apparently, August 11th or 12th is sheep shearing day in Ireland.  All of the (many) sheep that we passed …

To Galway.  Arrived at the Sleepzone Hostel in Galway.  Very nice city.  Headed over to the Eyres Center, took more pictures, walked down the small streets and checked out the shops.  Ended up buying myself a Claddagh ring necklace, silver with an amethest stone and diamonds.&nb…
