... rd protestant area and were shown around by one of the protestant taxi drivers. it was just a quiet suburban area but it was quite scary listening to him talk. the uda (ulster defence army - pro uk) and ira (irish republican army - pro republic of ireland) have a cease fire now but aparently they're still active just not officially armed. when we first got in the taxi the driver asked us if we'd seen any ira members, we said no and he said how do you know? then he asked if we ...

We hit Giants Causeway and Dunluce Castle today, which is a huge castle<br>that literally fell of the side of the cliff while people were in it<br>waiting for their meal. It was pretty cool to see, then we drove the<br>entire Coastline which was unreal. It was soooo cold and rainy and<br>windier than ever today, yet still there were a million ...

... company signed a 9000 year lease when they first commenced brewing all those years ago, so i guess they have a bit of time to worry about rent increases! The storehouse itself is magnificent - the museum, complete with interactive displays weaves up 6 levels, culminating at the Gravity Bar, completely encircled with glass, complete with a complimentary Guiness for everyone. OK so i admit, i cheated and only had a pot of Guiness, but for a non beer ...

... to be suddenly confronted with the City Hall in all its archetectural splendour. Next comes a rather mundane road with local shops which suddenly turns into a hive of evening activity with bars, restaurants and crowds of people on the streets.<br><br> I escaped unharmed with an overall impression that actually its quite a nice place and no more threatning than any other city.<br>

... of the 'Emerald Isle', sparkling green under the mid-morning sun in every direction you looked. There were two falls, the Inver and the Glenariff, but I don't know which one was which - the one at the end of the trail was undoubtedly the largest and most impressive. The sun came out when ...

... que, se a ideia eh ir para um barzinho e conversar, otimo, mas posso conversar em outros lugares que nao cobram para isso. Claro que alguem pode me lembrar o fato de que "a graca eh mudar de ambiente", mas para os que pensaram nisso eu tambem tenho algo para lhes lembrar: eu ja mudei, e muito, de ambiente! :) Como disse, os "pros" da vinda, nao estao la muito fortes. Os contras, ficam por conta da divisao de espaco. A casa eh grande, mas ...

... York Minster, we wandered around for a bit and then joined a walking tour, led by a volunteer from the city. It was a very informative tour, despite the occasional barrage of rain, and the tour guide was very friendly. Best yet, it was free. They have been giving volunteer tours in York since 1950! After the tour, we went back and dried off, finishing our evening at Wetherspoon, a restaurant/pub right next to our hotel.

... luggage, then to locate Roz, we're hoping we'll find each other at baggeage claim as we arrive around the same time, although i suspect it may not be that simple. Once located Roz the task is then to locate Catherine when her plane arrives an hour later, hopefully that should more stright forward. We've booked a shuttle bus from the centre of Amsterdam to our hostel in Noordwijk ...

Just back from Deb &amp; Nicks after a good drive. Had to post a couple of e-mails we received after sending some enquiries to Kostya (a Russian) related to our Trans-Sib trip! ------------------------ Hi David. Glad to hear from you. I got some places on my mind where it is possible for you to stay. They are usually used in summer for tourists. I will ask them for price if you want. They are just ...

(Originally published at http://www.troysgonewalkabout.com)<br>< br>In between abandoning Nanna on walking tracks the previous evening we had been looking for the craggy cliff-top ruins of Dunluce Castle, one of the Causeway Coast&#8217;s other top sights, and legendary for the fact that one night in 1639 part of the castle&#8217;s kitchen collapsed off the cliff and into the sea, taking seven servants with it. At the time we thought we had found it, though I was really ...
