Dublin.. top of tha mornen to ya!

Well, after an enjoying stay in Norway, I have come to Dublin Ireland. Angie and a few of her friends were coming here for the long weekend, so I thought it good to join them. Stayed with them in the same room at the hostel I am writing this from, and did some sightseeing together. Went to the old Kilmainham Jail, and visited the Guinness Brewery Storehouse.. where you go through the history and stages of making Guinness beer, and then get to enjoy a pint at the very top of the building with its with its 360 degree views of dublin.

The guys have now left, and I am staying an extra night in the hostel to plan the next step. Just got back from a walk and meetup with Courtney - whom I met on the Contiki tour - she was on another Contiki tour but had similar plans as me. .. Let me just say that the Irish are so friendly.. so helpful, and the young crowd are just great.. we just walked out of the Temple Bar district.. with all its pubs, and saw this massive line up to a club. Started chattin to some youngsters that gave us a nice overview of where to visit in Ireland.. .. I had to add my Bono, etc questions into the convo, ..with the one guy letting me know that Edges daughter was actually in the club and that his mates were friends with her.. One mate actually kind of dated her.. but ended that cause the most interesting thing about her was actually her father.. :P

Anyway, just now checking the net to work out exactly what we are doing.. we want to do a tour around Ireland, but just gotta work out if car hire, train, bus, or an actual booked tour is best.. Gotta get some sleep, but will be getting up early to work it out with her and off we will go..

Anyways.. spoke with Stef the other day briefly.. he has been busy in Cyprus simply visiting all his family.. and chilling on the beach.. so no big nights..

Anyway, thats abit of info for ya.. will be doing some days of travel round Ireland, then most probably head to Prague of Croatia or something.. Might end up travelling with Courtney up until Cyprus.. but will c..

Anyways, adiows..
ze.
