Heading off to Lisdoonvarna

So, we've now taken tons of pictures, walked 9 kilometres in the country to avoid paying bus fare (and for the nice walk :P), seen Giant's Causeway, eaten a full days worth of food in one breakfast sitting (the B&B served sooo much for b-fast), and probably lots more.
We're heading of to a little place called Lisdoonvarna for a matchmaking festival for the next 5 nights; it should be interesting.
Some main parts of our diet are apples & bananas, tea, toast, and the occasional meat or egg. No more guinness yet, but we have 8 months or more for that. It wasn't half bad though, considering.
Hope all of you going off to Uni are having fun.
More later.

the next two days

So...I'm not so great at the blog thing, but I'm going to attempt to inform you about our epic adventures in the last two days. We went to county Wicklow and saw some old ruins, we went to a museum in Dublin, took the dart to the festival of Cultures in Dun Laoghaire (pronounced Dun leery, go figure) and we both had our first glass of guiness. I actually finished mine, miracle of miracles. We met up with Anne Tyndall, Terry Harper's cousin, and met her nephew Stephen and went out for drinks with them. Currently we are a bit tired as the cheapest way of getting around is walking, and we have done A LOT of that. We will be heading up to Northern Ireland on Tuesday, so we probably won't write for a while.

First 24 Hours in Dublin

In less than an hour, we will have spent 24 hours in Dublin. Woot!
The jet lag isn't too bad, but Annie says: "I'm tired..." We got about 10 hours of sleep last night, which was much needed.
We successfully made it to our hostel, found the tourist info centre, and bought dinner. Our hostel's in a good area of the city: not too sketchy, not too dull. Our roommates seem fairly nice, but we've still been carting around all of our valuables. We booked a 6-bed dorm to start with, but by the end of our time in Ireland, we will probably be in 12-16 bed ones. :S
We have free internet at this hostel, so we may be able to check email, etc. for the next few days, as well as the 29th of August (maybe), and the 4/5th of September. We'll try and keep the rest of you posted regularly, but we'll see when we get access to internet or not. :P
Attempting to upload the first small set of photos to photobucket.....

Missing everyone at home!

Victoria Airport

Jenny and Annie were seen off by a good crowd at Victoria Aiport, including sisters, parents, an aunt and the Buckinghams.

Bon Voyage!

Leaving Tomorrow

We'll be off on our adventure tomorrow morning, making our way to Dublin first. Today will probably be full of packing and panicking.
Next update should be from Dublin!
