Yesterday was a brilliant day. Met heaps of lovely people and we pretty much all clicked straight away. There's 6 other aussies (yay!!!!) 3 from the USA (Philly, Virg, Calif) a gal from Manchester, England, England and a Saffa.
We checked out the Rock of Cashel (in Tipperary, where my mum's family is from), Mitchelstown Caves, Blarney Castle and yes, I did KISS THE STONE! Ahem, so did someone else I know...who will show up in my pics when I load them for you :)
We ended up in Killarney last night and went out for dinner (where we met some other Americans who were also staying at our hostel) then to see some traditional Irish storytelling and a bit of whistle music. Ended up heading to a local disco with a band playing lots of 90s songs...think killing in the name of, nothing else matters...my kind of head banging music. EPIC! They were all in their early 30's and looked like they were disappointed there was no moshing :(.
Today we've been to a cool beach, and have been travelling around some gorgeous cliffs as well as just general nonsense on the bus. Looking forward to the cliffs of moher later today!
Hey Lovely Kat,
ReplyDeleteJust decided to have another look here and whaddaya know - you're off in Ireland. (Or maybe you were.. didn't actually check the date too closely). Is it the cliffs of Moher in princess Bride? Whichever ones were... they're pretty cool. Glad your enjoying Ireland. We've got a doctor teaching us at the moment who has been living in Ireland and his accent still amuses us!!
Take care!

heh, thanks for the comment, kate. even though I didn't even check back here for a month or so...I am a really bad blogger atm!
ReplyDeleteI figure random ones are better than no new ones at all, so I haven't given up as yet.
yeah, the cliffs of Moher from Princess Bride - so amazing! Really had a great time in Ireland. The UK is a great place to travel through - really do like it. I've been slack lately and have been saying no to a few day trips because I'm just so tired! The merger at work is taking a toll...
ha, you've got your own personal blog post right here ;)
