Wowsers Amazing cookies there. Makes me when throw these Oreos on the floor. I won't because their the only ones I have, but still! Engrish always makes me laugh. I wonder if I could get a job going from country to county fixing their Engrish. Hmm... Probably wouldn't pay much and it would make the world a much less hilarious place.
A Safe Return You had an amazing experience; I am so happy for you! And I am also glad you have returned home safe and sound. After seeing the pictures of Switzerland cookies I have decided that I MUST visit that country. Yummy!
Riveting Excitement! It's a shame you can't bring sample of your awesome cookie adventures home. That's just as important as you backpacking adventure! Oh the wonders I'll never see; you are a lucky man. Enjoy yourself always, that's all we ever have.
Zoooooooom! Hello there!
I am envy you could do the Via Ferrata, or at least a good portion of it! We still plan to go though. Your hikes and pictures from the different places you have been are fantastic!
We used to say that if people did not speak German in Austria we could live there for a while - and hike.
Zoom... Do you know when and how will you come back? Do you want to? :)
Keep posting, I love reading your blog.

Well, we told you... Hello Liam,
Now you saw yourself: Budapest IS dirty. :( Just as we told you. BUT! There are several nice places so you were right one needs to go there let's say in May or April. If you plan to go, let us know we arrange something for you.
Now, about Slovenia... What an excellent choice! That country is awesome! People, towns, mountains, music, buildings, etc. I love the photos too. Liam, you are doing an exciting tour and writing very well! Thanks!
Yikes... Sorry to here you had to go through that, and that you'll be missing out on a leg of your trip. It is insanely stressful to be in a situation like that, not knowing what the outcome will be. You handled it in aces. Ironically, you will miss out on the country that you know everyone speaks English, even though, chances are you might still not under stand them. "Oy! Bartah, dijoo loon mahbikeout tada Nancy-boi frum datflat?" Haha. I jest, but not really. >.>
The English speakers are abundant around here. Especially in northern Europe, where the younger generation speaks better English than I do in Iceland and Norway. The only places that have been a bit more difficult so far were Poland and Slovakia; since then most people working in service have at least a decent command of English. Makes my life easy!
Mmmm...Burek....... Hey, you've had burek before! I made it for you once when you and Mom and Dad were over for supper.....it was probably a lot less greasy though. :)
I am jealous. Jealous, I tell you! I took my first trip out to Europe fairly recently and have been trying to figure out how to get back ever since. Tell me though: have you magically learned how to speak Icelandic and Norwegian and Faroese and German and Hungarian, or did you just hunt down all the English speakers everywhere?
Hope the rest of your trip continues wonderfully! :)
Bravo Liam Greetnigs for You. We're glad that You're satisfied of beeing in Poland and Slovakia. We're waiting for updates on Yours blog, and we wish You all the best.

Hiya! w00t! Exciting adventures all the time. Viking lore is so fascinating, I hope you took notes. Leave it to you to don garb indicative of a typical Paladin. Level your subs!
What an amazing view... alll of them!! It's amazing to think what is truly out there in the world. All that you are seeing is the tip of the iceberg, but by no means does that undermine what you have experienced. It's sad that most people never go very far from where they were born. You are truly an adventurer and I respect and admire that. Seeing these pictures and reading all your blogs is making my traveling itch come back, and I surely wouldn't mind spending some time in a fraction of the places you've been. All the best! (to you.)
Hmmm I am incredibly jealous of your adventures! But, that is not why I am commenting.
I really just wanted to point out how amazingly positive and upbeat you are. No matter what happens, you still say "It was a good adventure!" or something along those lines. That is all.
Toodles!
Riveting! It's exciting to know that one of my best friends is experiencing all these interesting things. Then I think about what I have been doing while you are having these adventures. Life sure is grand! For you anyway. :) I've just been behind a computer and occasionally in a swimming pool. A word of advice to the both of us. Don't drink the water that people sit in. Hats off to you, sir.
Good for you! Hello Liam!
Finally I got the chance to read your blog. Through. :) You seem to pick the perfect country of non-pronounceable names, sci fi views and good hikes. Thanks for the idea, we will follow you - later. But till then we watch you and your adventures, and of course the cookies. (wow, how much we loved your dad's cookies!)
Take care and keep writing and posting pictures even though it is definitely a challenge there.
What a wit! I love your commentary on your trip. Your sense of humour is typically Irish: dry, and stating the obvious! With all the detail in your blogue, you could be a writer for National Geographic. Thanks for including all the photos when you can. An amazing place! Keep safe! (Mom's are allowed to say that!)
I know, I can´t spell. All misspellings are intentional! Er... probably not, since I´m usually posting at the end of the day when I´m tired and racing against the 30 minute clock I have on the computer. Oh well!
Sounds like you've been having a lot of fun. How's your Icelandic pronounciation coming? I was getting frusterated with your little Iceland map on your blogue, because it doesn't have most of the places you're talking about, but when I pulled out my atlas, it's really not that much better. Thanks for the picture of the sandbox machinery for Ilhan. :) And I really like how you spell warmpth.
/amazed This is fantastic! I love the pictures! And of course, I am quite glad you were able to find some cookies.
I am truly amazed at how light it still was at almost 1am. How crazy! ^_^
How exciting! It sounds like your up to a great start. Kinda lame about the internets there, but j00 kan dew iht! Find a good one. :3
Sunglasses at 1am, huh? Reminds me of when I was in Russia. White nights, which is around now-ish, means we had only about 1 hour of darkness each night. It's crazy, but definitely interesting.
