So, I left off two nights ago, after I had arrived in Rome ( Read more... )

Today, I was in Galway initially. I went out to Connemara to have a look around - very pretty. And then my plans were to go to look at the Burren, followed by the Cliffs of Moher, followed by making my way to my accommodation. It didn’t happen that way. Sigh.
See, I got myself out to the Burren, which was quite different. Lots of rocks, a little ( Read more... )

We had a pretty casual family day at Longford. I got to know the girls a bit (Anna is 12, Holly about 10, and Grace is 8). And Louise and I went for a long walk - initially we thought we’d be gone 20 minutes, but when we got back, Jane said it was the longest 20 minute walk ever - over an hour. We had lunch after that, and then went along to the ( Read more... )

So, the day before yesterday we went to the seaside. What that actually means is that we went right to the top of Doneagal for a picnic. It was a long-ish drive, about 1.5 hours… we got ice cream half way (apparently tradition!) and then kept going.

And now we can continue...

Lana and I got up bright and early to go on a tour called Norway in a Nutshell. It takes you on a full day trip, seeing a fjord and some other very Norwegian stuffs. We had to get on the train at 8:40, so we left home pretty early. It was still dark - but that doesn't really mean much, especially if you're comparing to ( Read more... )

Today it rained. Quite a lot.

Lana had a class at uni today. We went in to the city, and wandered around a bit until it was time for her to start. One of the things that we had a look at was Johanneskirken. It's a red brick Church, and while Lana has apparently always admired it by far, she'd never gone inside. Yay for visiting friends forcing you ( Read more... )

So where was I when I left off ( Read more... )
