All right! I don't know how to fix the pictures arrangement thing so it will stay that way until someone shows me how to do it. Aussi j'ai un peu de misere avec les accents sur les claviers donc desole pour les fautes.
...
The best nights always happen when you wear dirty clothes, didn't take a shower and think nothing will happen that night. It was a quiet snowy sunday night and after our third pint we decided to walk under the snow and drink one last pint into a random pub on our way back to the hostel. A few minutes after we entered, some locals, young ones, with guitars, banjos, accordeon (sp?), etc, sit down at one table and started playing some amazing music and a few Johny Cash's songs. Anyway, it was a night to remember that I won't ever forget. We made friends with everyone in the pub, singing and dancing as if there were no tomorrow. The band is called "Rasher and the trainwrecks", check them out on youtube. They were singing and playing their heart, exactly how I like music to be performed!! The strongest and best hangover of the trip so far!!
All right! Back to reality (which is also great!)! After Kilkenny, I took a bus to Cork. It was like Dublin but smaller and the only difference is that locally brewed Murphy's is the stout of choice here, not Guiness.
Le lendemain j'ai ete faire un daytrip a Cashel pour visiter le "Rock of Cashel" mais c'etait ferme. C'est le 2eme chateau que je ne peux pas visiter a cause du "Big Chill". Je me sentais comme un vieux gueu du 12eme siecle au pied des murailles et se voyant interdire l'acces du chateau. Vous savez, le seul moment que je me sens vraiment comme un enfant c'est lorsque que je visite des chateaux. Lorsqu'ils datent du Moyen Age je deviens encore plus geek! Je peux passer une eternite a les visiter tandis qu'une persone normal y met 30 minutes. Visiter des chateaux avec moi c'est pas l'fun. C'est comme faire du shopping avec sa blonde ou sa mere! Anyway, je sais que ca sonne pas trop viril tout ca mais j'y peu rien, c'est moi!
Then I visited the Ring of Kerry and Dingle Peninsula from Killarney and The Burren and Cliffs of Moher from Gallway. In both places, the tours were or postponed or disrupted because of the BIG CHILL ... one inch of snow!! Nonetheless, it was great and there's no word to describe what I saw, pictures (try to) speak by themselves. Most people here speak gaelic which I don't understand. They also speak english with a strong Irish accent, which I don't understand neither. I just arrived in Belfast and I also have a hard time understanding them. Scottish accent is supposed to be worst ... in 2 days ...
Tomorrow, the Giant Causeways and then straight to Glasgow in Scotland. I will have great memories of Ireland so cheers to all the beautiful sceneries that I was looking at when I was in the buses going from one place to the other, the herds of sheeps everywhere, every single villages with their own 800 years old roofless church and vegetations groing on them and I also a big cheers to all the people I had a pint of Guiness with!!
With a lot of love from me to you,
Nikolas
