      Off to Ireland...

      Okay, well I am just about to pack my bags, and get ready for my flight to Ireland! Never been before - only there for work purposes, but still any excuse.

      Just want to know, since I don't know much about the place, is there anything I need to specifically try? Like any speciality foods or anything? Its all on work too, so doesn't matter about cost

      This is where I shall be laying my head to rest: http://www.hilton.co.uk/templepatrick/

      Anyway, aside from the Guinness, what else should I be trying?

      I just got back from a work trip to Ireland. I can't be of much help, though, cause I stayed in Cork, which is on the south (while Templepatrick is on the north, just out of Belfast). It might be a little rainy when you're there. How long are you staying for, and how much time do you have for sightseeing? If they like you at the work thing, they'll take you out and get you wasted haha.

      Unfortunately I am only there tonight, I fly back tomorrow

      I have a meeting in the morning so have to come back, I would have liked to be out here longer. I will try get pictures, but really am only going to be out tonight for dinner and drinks so wont get to see many sights.

      I will get a picture of me and a Guinness for you though

      I am just at the airport waiting for my flight, which is in about an hour and a half.

      I don't like flying

      Hey, who wants a postcard?

      Not that I've been there, but Ireland seems to me a boring and grim place. I only ever see pictures of desolate landscapes full of mud, grass and rain and too few trees. I met a nice Irish girl once, never got her name and never saw her again, but she agreed with me that Ireland is all mud and alcoholics.

      And the accent is horrible. Almost as bad as Welsh. Actually, nowhere near, but, eh.

      I am so jealous right now. I've been to Ireland for four days before (plus four days in Scotland as a 21st Birthday present). I just love the history and "old-world" charm you can find there (mostly from the historic buildings and cathedrals and stuff). How I wish I lived in the Emerald Isles instead of bloody sun scorched SA with its "Africa" obssesed president (not Mandela mind you, he was cool and I wish he could have stayed on longer)

      In a few weeks I will be there too, for two months ( and before that 3 days in England ). There I will make
      the first step upon a journey, of which I will give more details soon.

      Too bad it was such a quick trip...

      By the way, was this in Ireland or Northern Ireland (I heard you were near Belfast...)?

      Northern Ireland - I was in Templepatrick at the Hotel and in Belfast city centre for my meeting. I am home now though

      I am going to make sure I get a weekend trip there as soon as I find someone to go with! I want to enjoy Ireland rather than a whistle stop tour! might go to southern Ireland though.

      Just need to find someone to take... Spart what you up to this weekend

      My Phone camera is crap when indoors, well this is my room, although you cannot see it too well in this light







      This is where the magic didn't happen





      My Bathroom lol



      The customary look @ me in the mirror picture, to prove I was actually there



      Mmmmmmm Guinness



      Mmmmm Adam drinks the Guinness hehe Although I spilt it on my lap trying to take this



      Some light reading on the plane...



      Some out the window shots, sorry captain, I know my phone was supposed to me off, but hey, we didn't crash






      Really want to go back so I can visit the place properly, although not sure if I want to go northern or southern Ireland this time??

      Need to find me a partner to drag along first though
