Dublin, Ireland
This is a top pick! ... later, we stumbled back to the hotel with fish n' chips wrapped in newspaper, awoke the boys, and made them stand and sing for Ireland. -- Oh, right, that last part didn't really happen, or at least not by us. The rest of Dublin is nice, the churches ...
Home i couldn't finish this travelogue ...
This is a top pick! ... as the Northerners in our pub quiz as we were all either from the North Island, Northern England, Northern Hemisphere, or Northern Ireland. To Rachel for showing me the parts of the North Island the weather would let us. Finally to Elvis the driver on ...
Diving In
This is a top pick! ... I found the place that I knew could quite possibly be the Mecca of diving. It wasn't Truk Lagoon even, but happened to be in Ireland, and I knew that I had to go. I have discussed this with Lucy over the years, and once she became a qualified diver, I ...
Lovely Dingle and disorienting Listowel
This is a top pick! ... rather than dread. By the time I caught the bus, the sun had vanished (of course--a whole sunny day is rare). Ireland is unbelievably luminous in sunlight, but still evocative in cloud. Especially the Dingle Peninsula. We drove past fields backed by ...
Thrift shopping
This is a top pick! Finally went to the newspaper again. They're not hiring (of course), but I was told that if I have an idea for an article about the city or the county, I can pitch it. Sound encouraging? It would, if I knew anything about a) journalism or b) the local ...
Megalithical
This is a top pick! When going away for a weekend, there are certain items one must carry, and if going to Ireland, the the three most needed things are 1) A Passport 2) Clean Underwear 3) An Umbrella We have tried a gortex jacket, but an umbrella wins hands down ...
Galway days and nights
This is a top pick! ... have trees I associate more with California...those really spiky ones sort of like palm trees...and I've even seen a few monkey trees. Ireland is so temperate in climate that it can support them. You know how people say Ireland is so green? Well, it ...
An evening of reflection
This is a top pick! ... when a) you have to talk to your roommates and b) you have a ready-made conversation opener ("Where are you from?"). A realization that Ireland isn't like what you see in movies, at least not all of it (I assume it's like that somewhere). A lot of ...
Ireland - Home Of Blarney And Craic.
This is a top pick! ... , Ireland via Ryan Air with tickets bought on the Internet for less than a Pound each (plus taxes)!! We spent a week in Ireland, a very funny, perplexing and picturesque place. The accents are lovely and lilting, the people friendly and we actually got to ...
How you can help the charities.
This is a top pick! I hope that some of you who explore this travelogue will, like me, decide that these three charities are very worthwhile causes. If you do wish to donate a bank account specially for this event has been opened. Myself and a representative of one of the ...
The Angel's Trumpet
This is a top pick! ... one thing we noticed about Cork from the evening stroll the night before, was that it's densely populated with churches. Ireland being a religious country, this didn't surprise me. I had been, however, always under the impression that Northern ...
Lazy Day at the Weekend
This is a top pick! Shopping with Katherine...I bought a CD by an American folk singer named Eva Cassidy, whose music I love, so I'd have something to play on the cheap Discman that came with my mobile phone. I also almost bought a shirt, but decided it was too impractical ...
The home of Guinness!!
This is a top pick! Here we all are in Dublin, Ireland together. Our official last country I'll be seeing for the first time before heading back to London to hop on a plane home. :-( We have spent the last 2 nights here (18th and 19th) and definatly like Ireland ...
Home and settled now and i thought i would ...
This is a top pick! Home and settled now and i thought i would remind those who were keeping an eye on my travelogue that i have uploaded a few photos from Thailand and India etc on the site so if you scroll down here and select the entry you can see them. This is the last ...
Dublin
This is a top pick! You know you're flying to Dublin when a woman sitting next to you in her 70s orders two shots of vodka and a glass of wine during one hour flight. I thought to myself, my kind of town... This is why I purposely bought my ticket to spend my first weekend ...
The Ring of Kerry
This is a top pick! ... saw an old man toodling along on a bicycle, reminding me very much of the frail old man in Waking Ned Devine. An Ireland Moment! Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of him. At some point we also passed a village where someone built a boat-shaped house ...
Shamrocks and Leprechauns
This is a top pick! ... and Sheila and were on the road by 8am. We drove for an hour down to Troon and caught the ferry across to Northern Ireland. We arrived at Larne, north of Belfast, at around midday and immediately set off around the coast. We hugged the coastline which, ...
Stones
This is a top pick! ... to go back to the past. Megaliths here we come. Preconceived Ideas Thailand is the land of smiles. All Aussies are bronze. Ireland is green County Clare Car picked up, Tom Tom on, and off we went. We headed off in the ...
Job interview and further doubts
This is a top pick! Interview today, for a temp job at NUIG (National University of Ireland--Galway, also apparently called University College of Galway). The campus was great, or at least the "Quad"/entry part of it. Old building with ivy on the front and a courtyard in ...
An end in sight
This is a top pick! ... for the French leg of the trip, and all accommodation has been pre-booked for the locations we'll be visiting from Ireland to Naples, Italy. All except for Venice that is. Booking reasonable accommodation ahead of schedule in Venice is a challenge, so ...
More Cairns
This is a top pick! ... sleep, we dived in the car and headed of towards our next destination. The drive was great and the scenery was how I imagined Ireland to be. Green everywhere. Even the sun came out. Then we crossed the border, and even the island that some call Ireland ...
ET Phone Home
This is a top pick! Sunday was a slow day. Katherine and I both slept really late, and the weather was rainy and blustery so we didn't feel like doing much. We did, however, trek all over town in search of a cybercafe with a webcam so I could talk to Arvin. No luck, ...
Killary Harbour - Ireland's Only Fjord.
This is a top pick! ... the most beautiful sight however in Killary Harbour after going a very long way round. This harbour leads into a fjord, Ireland's only one, and the towering brilliant green mountains dotted with tiny specs of white sheep, cut deeply into ...
Drink Driving Laws in Ireland
This is a top pick! ... bit over the top, but on listening to talkback radio, it seems to be working. Drink driving is very much a taboo subject here in Ireland and people simply don't do it. Maybe we are a bit too liberal in Australia... from memory, I think we need a reading ...
Fiddles and Fish
This is a top pick! ... , but that evening it was super crowded, with plenty of noise. Still, we were on the second floor (called the first floor in Ireland) so above everything, and it was peaceful enough. The food was good too. Carla had a smoked salmon salad, and I had ...
The Sun Also Rises
This is a top pick! Diary excerpt, written while waiting for breakfast at The Coffee Club, a small cafe with blond wood furnishings and full-length glass windows, one block off the main pedestrian street that is the heart of Galway. "Sunshine at last after several days ...
Polish poetry and European musings
This is a top pick! ... 's still not something you want to go out in, but at the moment it still beats snow. Am I really living here? Is this really Ireland? Then why is it so much like Canada? I suppose I should have gone to Thailand instead, for that. Except for all the ...
Drivin' me bonkers
This is a top pick! We have discovered exactly why the Irish are such bad drivers. The system of licensing is ridiculous. They can get their L plates by sitting a simple theory test. They do not need any formal lessons and after the first year they can drive with L plates ...
