Kerry and Skellig Rings and a New Word

IRELAND | Sunday, 14 Aug 2011 | Views [1182]

OK so the title says the Ring of Kerry but really it is more about the Skellig Ring as that, apart from driving along with the caterpillars (this is Tara and Paul speak for tour buses), we pretty much stayed on the Ring of Skellig.   This was mainly ... Read more >

Righto We Are In Derry But This Is About Belfast

UNITED KINGDOM | Sunday, 24 Jul 2011 | Views [447]

Yep we are falling behind a bit but this is not due to us being lazy but more because of that fact that it is light until freaking 10pm.  By the time we stop doing stuff it is just about time for bed.  Anyhow we will try and get stuff back on track from ... Read more >


London, Oakley and Cornwall watch out - here we come!

UNITED KINGDOM | Tuesday, 19 Jul 2011 | Views [589]

Oh God I am Surrounded By NERDS!

FRANCE | Sunday, 10 Jul 2011 | Views [789]

More Tales from the Catalan Capital

SPAIN | Sunday, 10 Jul 2011 | Views [629] | Comments [1]

Tara's French House tour

FRANCE | Sunday, 26 Jun 2011 | Views [623]
