Entry from: Edinburgh, United Kingdom Entry Title: “Edinburgh: Beauty and Bagpipes” Entry: “Hey all. After our Swedish adventure, myself and a group of about 12 others travelled to Scotland for the weekend! I wasn’t really involved in planning this trip at all, but I jumped at the opportunity to see Scotland. We left the Castle at 4:30 on Thursday to catch a flight from Dusseldorf Weeze Airport. A few hours later we touched down in Edinburgh. Edinburgh’s coolness is immediately apparent. I’m sorry to dis Kasteel Well, but the Edinburgh Castle is positively magnificent. Set atop a hill in the heart of the city, the Castle can be seen from many places throughout Edinburgh, and it is a pretty awesome reminder in a modern city of how people used to live their lives. Our hostel, the Art Roch Hostel, was no more than a ten minute walk from the Castle, which was cool in and of itself. It also meant that we were in a central location with a lot of pubs and shops near by. Once we dropped our stuff at the hostel, we were all thinking the same thing: food. We were in a pretty large group (some people were actually at a neighboring hostel), so we divided up according to wants. A bunch of us went to a fried food joint down the street from our hostel. I had authentic fish and chips for the first time, and it was …

My best friend and I would LOVE to go to Ireland this summer or next. We were going to use one of those rent a car travel plans and then I remembered that you have to be like 25. We do not have an exceptionally large amount of money available.

Any help is magnificent! =D

Entry from: Bournemouth, United Kingdom Entry Title: “Day 2″ Entry: “This morning we had a full English breakfast (eggs, bacon, sausage, beans, tomatoes, toast) at the hotel. I passed on the beans and tomatoes. The bacon here is not the typical bacon you get back home. It’s like very thin pork steak or perhaps Canadian bacon but larger than what you get on your pizza. The sausage are good but not spicy like the sausage you get back home… more meaty. The eggs aren’t quite as “cooked” as I’d like them but they were good none the less. I also had tea which is more popular than coffee. At breakfast the 3 of us discussed what to do for the day. We considered taking a train into London but the prices were a bit high (perhaps because it’s a bank holiday weekend). We also considered going to Portsmouth but decided against it because of the duration of the trip (3 or so hours one way). In the end we decided on walking around Bournemouth and take in the sites. We walked down Christchurch St. heading toward a tea shop that Matt was interested in visiting a restaurant named The Cozy Teapot. As I walked I took pictures of churches, Tudor-style homes and interesting advertising. We walked to Boscombe and discovered Boscombe Gardens… a family park with miniature golf, a cafe, soccer pitch, and quite an …

Entry from: Dublin, Ireland Entry Title: “Final day in Dublin and looking for Phil” Entry: “Today we started out sleeping in until 8am — or 3am USA/EST time. While a bit groggy, we pushed onward for our final day in Dublin. The first thing in order was a nice cup of coffee with some brown sugar (yes, you heard that correct). After a quick check of emails, BBC2 news and packing up the backpack, we got out the map and planned out our day. Today we singled out Trinity College/Book of Kells as well as looking for the Porterhouse pub (which I was told has many fine selections of homebrew favorites). Also, we were going to go visit Sheridan’s Cheese Shop to see Lucy — who we emailed with before we left. She is good friends with our neighbor (Tim Gaddis) and we also had a special gift for her. We were soon on our way around 9am. Out the front door and we were met with a wet street — but not rain in the air. Ginger quickly grabbed her new raincoat (to officially break it in) and off we went. Down O’Connell Street we went and soon hit some wisps of rain, but nothing major. We decided to stop into a small café called Scrumptious and grabbed an Americano espresso and small pastries — delicious! As we left the café, I could hear this huge protest going down near Dublin’s GPO (General post office which is …

Entry from: Dingle Peninsula, Ireland Entry Title: “My six days as a volvo driver” Entry: “After figuring out how expensive (5 euro per person to travel 13kms) and how often buses travel between points in Ireland (not often) we decided to throw caution to the wind and hire a car for the remaining time in Ireland. After getting to the airport (as that is where all the car hire places are) we decided to upgrade to a -shudder- Volvo and a GPS unit that talks to me – cause Christina didn’t want to get lost – obviously she didn’t trust my keen travel sense. She also wanted me to get a auto but i wasnt having any of that. After giving them my credit card we were off (after a few bunny hops). I was a bit apprehensive about driving especially since i hadn’t driving for almost two years but i guess its like riding a bike and we were soon speeding down the Dublin freeway to our first destination (which we still hadn’t figured out). It was then that we drove past our first petrel station and saw that petrol was 1.30 euro a liter – thats was a little scary The general idea that we had figured out was too hug the south west coast of Ireland, drive around the Beara, Kerry and dingle peninsulas.During that time our mission was several: stop at little villages, drink the black stuff and (if there was time …

Entry from: Dublin, Ireland Entry Title: “St Paddies Day in style” Entry: “Top of the morning too everyone and greetings from Ireland. We had decided to head for Ireland for a while to see the rolling green hills, drink Guinness and witness St Pat’s day from Dublin. Our first day included allot of time in pubs drinking Guinness and talking to the locals (sometimes trying to figure out what they were saying – many have a thick accent) and trying to see things for free as it was quickly evident that Dublin was VERY expensive. Luckily most of the touristy things were close by, and we could always stop into a pub.. In addition to the pubs we went to the art museum and saw some Celtic art, saw some bog bodies in the natural history museum and then went back to one of the millions of pub and had a good pub meal washed down with guess what… Day 2 saw as take a tour – usually i wouldn’t be caught dead in a tour bus – but as Christina was with me sacrifices had to be made – and anyway the public transport here between cities leaves allot to be desired (plus it was cheaper to go on the tour). So we headed to glendalogh, a small village made famous by brother Kev who turned up 100s of years ago and medicated allot. From just one person (Kev) 100s more turned up to join him and a monastery and a few …
