Here are pictures from my trip to Sligo. The highlights were Yeats grave and a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary at the bar we stopped into. The wife taught us how to Irish step dance.... read more

Out of all the towns I've visited in Ireland, Sligo was the one I most wanted to see and its proven to definately be my favourite.. Why? I do not know, there isnt much to see or do here but Im finding myself loving it.. My first night here, I just ate dinner in the comfort of my hotel, after a 10 hour train trip day and having to go all the way back to Dublin, to change stations not only trains! I wasnt in the mood to be doing much, however this proved to be lucky as I got talking to a Polish bartender here in my hotel who offered to show me the sights on Sligo! Yay for me! Proved to be an interesting day, particularly after I had to get up early after ... read more

Hey guys, Up in the north of Ireland now and have gone some distance since the last update. Finally getting sorted from the incident that happened with the wallet and other things, a emergency credit card has turned up so back on track. Hitched a ride to Galway from Ennis and it was actually a police man that gave me a lift. He remembered me from the station when getting the police report and other stuff so he was good enough to pull over and asked if I needed a lift, very good of him indeed. It was quite interesting spending an hour or so with a police guy cause he told me about all the problems that is going on around the place exp the gypsy people he said they are by far the ... read more

This morning started out in a much more relaxed fashion than yesterday. Tim and I had a cuppa tea and some brown bread while we chatted with Kitty. Alfie had already headed off to work since he was planning to take off early in the afternoon to meet us in County Sligo and point us to an old cemetery where some Taaffes are buried. After a nice shower (the Deehans have better water pressure than we found in many B & Bs), we loaded the car and left Athenry for points north. We stopped first to snap a few photos of the lovely Lough Talt, then found our way to a wide spot in the road called Mount Taaffe. We’re told that Mount Taaffe was once a thriving community, but now it mostly consists of a ... read more

Geo: 54.184, -8.38727Went to see my Mum and we go to fancy "new best in North West" restaurtant called 'Cleavery Mills' with my best friends Mum. Lovely restaurant & food, but had surreal experience with the 2 ladies, as they spotted my embarrassing teenage ex. at the petrol place & my Mum says "is that Mr. X" & I am like (in the back of the car) "I dunno" (knowing full well it's him) & the other mum is like "yes it is, it is" & mine is "yes it is". Wagons! Jesus I felt like I was 15.... read more

So I'm on board this blogging phenomenon, sweeping across the globe. Welcome to the mind of the Slink. I promise i won't refer to myself in the third person and as the Slink TOO often. It's time to publish my travels in the dark and seedy crevices of cyber land. And i'm jumping on board a little late, as I'm nearing the latter stages of my South American adventures. So i'm backtracking baby. And where else to start but the beginning. Let me take you back, way way back, to wherever you were just 3 months ago; and forget it all, cause this is all about me. You are now going to see through my eyes. Just relax, you are getting sleepy, take a breath, hold In -------and Out, breath IN------andOut------Now, you´re in the lively, passionate ... read more
