Plecak, 'gear' & 'toys'
Plecak musi byc przede wszystkim wygodny (pas na biodra, pelna regulacja itp.). Musi byc odpowiednio duzy - 70l powinno wystarczyc (do tego jakas 30-tka jako 'daypack'). Musi ...

... life. We went to a neat pub named Kingshead which has old medieval architecture from all over Europe. There was a good band there and then we went to a nightclub afterward. The next day we got up early and ended up taking a bus, then ferry to get to the Aran Islands. They were really beautiful and the people were very nice. The most interesting part of the island was walking up to these ...

What a coast!
Easily a 200-m (650 ft) drop off the edge. A tower was built for Victorian tourists. I walked both ways. Of course, going past the don't enter sign makes you wonder. I did for a little while, but the safety person in me couldn't go too far.

A journey underground - another cave journey. Apparently, bears also used to hibernate here. And it has been a very long time since bears actually lived in Ireland.

Had a pretty interesting waterfall inside. This was also an interesting tour. They actually turned the lights out while we were in there. Total darkness is an interesting thing.

... saying something about if he were ten years younger...i turned to Josh and told him that if this guy was 10 years younger he would still be 20 years older than me...so i thanked him for the beer and we got the hell out of that bar. Meg and I danced some more at the lower bar at the same tavern. The musician played "Galway Girl" and i almost died I was so excited to hear it (so P.S. I Love You). There were two guys from the Netherlands who had talked to me while we were ...

... eye for this, because Vaughan's Anchor Inn in Liscannor provided us exactly with with we were looking for - a good atmosphere and really, REALLY good seafood!!! We had two large pots of mussels to ourselves. After which we took a slow and twisted drive back to Clarinbridge getting lost a fair few times on the way back on the coastal road between Lisdoonvarna and Ballyvaughan. Though the idea had been to have a dinner at one of the local pubs, we ...

The town of Blarney sits only a dozen or so kilometers outside of Cork, so there was little question that making it to Blarney Castle to kiss the famous Stone would be on our itinerary. But whether we would survive that short drive was a whole other story. For one thing, breathing was going to be risky. Adrian is one of the most prodigious farters in the world, maybe the finest I've ever known. A couple quick stories (and I'm not doing this to embarrass my friend, he proudly tells these ...

... of Irish Tower Houses in the 16th - 17th Century. Its an easy self-guided tour and Sven liked climbing into the little nooks, etc. Inchagoill Island You can get to the island on a foot ferry that leaves from the end of Pier Road. Tickets are on sale at the Tourist Information office. Its a beautiful island with two churches - one was founded by St. Patrick and there is an interesting relic in the graveyard.

... Beacons were amazing. The hike started out alongside a small river highlighted by several waterfalls. Beautiful old mossy stone fences sidled the other side of the path. We eventually emerged from the forest to find a lack of trails to follow but a heady helping of sheep grazing by the river in a grassy valley. Nonetheless, the map trail pointed us to this location so we stopped for a bite not 10 metres from a family of sheep locked in deep stare. (They don't even ...
