... into the hostel to sleep for a while, or tour and go to bed early. Decisions, Decisions. I love small towns in Ireland. It's almost like Jasper, but green and the people are so friendly and hospitable. I would love to live here ...
Traveling is the hardest part of traveling
... reservations, and while sitting on the ferry, I realized that I didn't know the name or location of the hostel I was staying at in Rosslare. No big deal, I figured, there has to be an internet café there, and I arrive at 6:00 pm, so everything should be ...

D. Day
Trip has not gotten off on the best possible note. Arrived nice and early for the bus up to Rosslare only to find that the morons at CIE don't accept tickets if all you have is the confirmation #. This wouldn't be quite so irritating if it wasn't for the ...
Rosslare
Arrive Rosslare 6.15am, time for brekker before 7.40am train to Dublin which unfortunately was a bloody 'arrow' not so good for a 3 hour trip but I slept through the worse of it and then finished a book I started at 10pm the night before which I don't ...
Wales by train, the Irish Sea by ferry
... like they have a thing against using vowels in their words. The train ride to Fishguard was long (4 hours) and the ferry to Ireland was longer (4.5 hours). Both were pretty dull, and I still have another day before I get to Killarney. Who's bright idea ...
A note on Aussies
... cousins. They're EVERYWHERE. Honestly, 75% of the travellers I met or just saw around hostel common rooms in Ireland were Australian. I believe that Oz has a population of something like 7 million, but a good 50% of them must be ...

Receiving the Gift of Eloquence!
... with the sun shining and the undulating, sweeping asphalt. The B&B I'm staying at is quite "plain" in this hamlet of Rosslare Harbour. I believe the hamlet/town is just here for the ferry terminal. There isn't much else around but a few hotels ...
Our 3 country day!
... going on! I got just enough of a hit on the ferry to keep me going (yeah, fancy that, the ferry from Fishguard to Rosslare had free wifi access!), but I'm nearly better now - I'm set-up in the reception area at the hotel and I'm much happier now I've had ...

nothing in newgrange
Für die einen ist das Guinness-Storehouse ein Muss – für die anderen Abzocke. Eigentlich wollten wir uns die St. Patricks Cathedral ansehen, aber dort hat einer der zahlreichen Gottesdienste angefangen. Also ändern wir unseren Plan und ...
Our First Taste of Ireland
We arrived at the port of Rosslare after an extremely rocky boat ride that made us both feel quite sick. I have never been on a boat ride this rocky. We tried to lay down and sleep and I could see all the wall hangings shifting as the boat swayed. Once we ...
O'Leary's Farmhouse - the best B&B in Ireland
... south of our current position. It was getting close to our normal nap time so we decided to go on to O'Leary's Farmhouse in Rosslare. This B&B was basically chosen with our eyes closed. We had no idea what we'd find when we ...
We finally got to kiss the Blarney stone
... the hill and got muddy coz it was wet & dark. We briefly stopped in Cork but realised we only had 3 hours to get down to Rosslare to catch the ferry to Wales so it was a hectic trip with Matts foot flat to the floor of our little van the whole ...
