Greetings from Ireland! (it's Chris again)
Man it was good to touch down in an english speeking nation again and not only that, Dublin is an amazingly friendly city. Very touristy in some places but with good reason as the sites are worth seeing. Sear and I didn't try to pack in as much as Holland but did enjoy the guiness storehouse (which is more like a museam as they're celebrating the 250th year) and trinity college were the two main ones for me. Also while Sarah went and checked out ancient literature i got stuck in music shops playing basses and guitars getting my fix as it were.
I bought a cheap guitar to take on the road. The traditional musos here are really good, great to listen to while enjoying a pint of the black stuff I say. Apparently we ended up in the party central of town again, Temple Bar; the doof doof runs early into the morning...every morning - tourism doesn't sleep you see?! Don't worry, i didn't pike early every night, ha ha.
It was good to pick up the car and start the driving tour of the country, we got up to Derry today. derry is a really cool medievil town in northern ireland with a rich and turbulent history. The catholic/prodestant conflict has definately left it's mark here for ever but the charm of this town remains.
The weather is what is to be expected in Ireland and we are loving it, wet, sun or otherwise.
