... further north to the Baltics to Vilnius, Lithuania. After experiencing the vomiting abilities of one of our youth hostel dorm-mates, we decided that, yes, we are too old for that scene. So, for just a bit more per night, we rented a one-bedroom ...

... the summit. It is the mountain that St. Patrick fasted on for 40 days. I left on friday and spent the night in the Old Mill Hostel which is an old mill right in downtown Westport. The downtown is very touresty but very picturest. I had hoped to show ...

... this city would be like in prime season.  We did some exploring around the opposite side of the river and found an old mill with a water wheel, some nice parks with lilacs and other trees in full bloom.  The smell was fantastic.  We ...

... past the Falls of Dochart again, to the Breadalbane Folk Museum.  Hopefully I have the name right.  It's inside an old mill.  Of interest, we learned from a shopkeeper that this region of Scotland, home to the Campbells for many years, is ...

... 1300. Again, one-horse town springs to mind. Hardly a soul on the streets. Stinking hot. We checked into our rooms, at the Old Mill which is actually owned by Top Deck. The nicest building in town! Across the road was the tiny school and library. There ...

... ;becoming a new craze in n.i and scotland! As mentioned at the start, in uruguay at moment - not much happening as holiday weekend but met a few very sound people so jsut taking it easy and recharging batteries for touring south argentina next week. ...

... .  So, when I arrived to my hostel and i was the only girl, I was a little concerned that the gringo rumor-mill had misinformed me on which hostel to avoid!  The fact that I had to pay was my only comfort as I checked in. Zona Rosa is the area ...

... image of Alan from 'The Hangover' and a character as well. Our first pub was O' Sullivans where we met a fella from Carlow on holiday who bought us all a pint. After O' Sullivans we passed a clothes shop that had a DJ playing live, too good an opportunity ...

... was at the Christmas Markets at Vörösmarty Square, where I sipped on a Glühwein to ease my troubles and get into the holiday spirit. Being now quite seasoned with various Christmas Markets, this one was pretty run-of-the-mill, however, they did have ...

... ended up on a slow bus that took an indirect route and stopped frequently. We passed through Villa Carlos Paz, a favourite holiday destination for Argentines. Why is a mystery - it was a horrendous sprawl of bad architecture, grill restaurants, and ugly ...

... spoken English to. It actually didn't take us long to find the correct building, but nobody was there because they are all on holiday for the new year. We did find 20something guy from New Jersey who claimed the rumor to be true and was teaching at the ...

... tribal people from the beginning of the 20th century. Murray not impressed with instruments for putting metal pieces into penises! Tomorrow is a holiday as it's Malaysia's National Day. There's a concert in the park at night, but we decide not to go as ...

... good as the one from yesterday, we settle for going back to the same one.  They too have raised their prices for the holiday, but the menu looks better, and we decide to use the birthday funds from Cierra's Mom to give ourselves a treat.  ...

... off to the party town of Queenstown.  Our first stop was 'Puzzling World'.  Now myself and Nick haven't enjoyed the best holiday for stupid bets and it wasn't to get any better.  All of the lads had tried to complete a block ...
