It was, without a doubt, the nicest day in Ireland I've experienced on this trip. Good thing too as it was my first attempt at a long-haul hitchhiking trip. It wasn't all coming up roses, though. Following direction from a hitchhiking wiki (the infamous wiki... never to be trusted again) I...

First helpstay

I have been at my first helpstay for about three and a half days. Many of my presumptions have been proven wrong. The main one being that this is not an organic farm at all, in fact he hardly grows anything, just some tomatoes, peppermint, and cucumbers, and not much at that. It is the home...

In Bodhran

I was only in Cork City for a handful of hours but I wrote a few pages while there as I often like to write down my surroundings, the sights, sounds, smells, overheard conversations, descriptions of people, speculations etc. while sitting in a pub with nothing else to do. It's a good writing...

To the Poles!

This was my first night in Dublin and only one night as I am waiting at the Dublin airport the morning after awaiting my flight to Cork, in the southwest of Ireland. It was also my first couchsurfing experience. My host was an adorable twenty yearold Polish girl from Warsaw named Marta, a...

Blarney Castle and the Cliffs of Moher

On our way to the pub so guna keep this short. Blarney castle rocked. Somehow they’ve managed to keep it from getting too touristy. We tromped around the castle for a while, kissed the Stone, and went exploring the grounds. The pictures do it way more justice than I could with words. ...

Done with Dublin

Our last full day in Dublin was spent walking, walking, and then walking some more. Oh, and there was some sightseeing in there too. We went to the older part of town to start and got to see a lot of the old architecture, mostly in the form of churches. We visited the Christ Church of Ireland,...

On the way to Cork

Today we boarded a train for Cork, stop 2 on our tour of Ireland. The train ride was awesome, got to see a lot of the country side from the comfort of dry cushy seats. It's crazy how many ruins there are here. Just random centuries old walls sticking up out of the pasture land, cemeteries that...

DOOOBLIN!!!

Woot we hit Dublin yesterday morning around 8 AM. I couldn't stop giggling and Amanda thought something was wrong with me. Iono but this place makes me happy. Hell I don't care if I got stuck here forever. That's subject to change but we're really loving it so far. Met some really cool people...
