Up Laois Hello Jenny,
Im from Laois and I watched that game in Bruge in Belgium with a stag party from Holland. I was the only Irish person in the bar. It was great fun. I had to explain all the rules to the Dutch guys and had them all shouting for Laois... Unfortunately Laois lost but sure I got free drink all night anyway... glad you enjoyed our national sport
Nostalgy for my home Hy! My name is Toni. Whole my life i was living on island Vis to three months ago when i came to live in Paris .Mnogo mi nedostaje moj dom i moj otok !
Budapest is indeed a beutiful city. I always wanted to see eastern Europe, and so last year I went to
Budapest. I expected a run-down ex-communist city. How mistaken I was.
This is the most beautiful city I have ever been to. Magnificent
buildings, friendly people, great resutuarants, safe.... At this point
you may think I work for the Budapest Tourist Office - Don't worry, I
don't. I met other foreign people, who like me, vaguely knew where
Budapest was, but on seeing this beautiful city fell in love with it.
A tip - if you are considering travelling to budapest, stay in a
apartment, rather than a hotel.
On my first visit I stayed in a hotel - the hotel was very cosz, but
very small. Similar in size to a parisian hotel. On my second visit, I
decided to try an apartment, to get a more genuine feel for the place.
Opting for the apartment was an inspired decision and I only stay in
apartments now - well actually I only stay in "an" apartment now. There
are lots of agencies renting apartments in Budapest, so it is as easy
to book an apartment as a hotel. I used a company called
www.budapestplace.com, and was very happy with the apartment I stayed
in - so much so, I always try to get that same apartment whenever I go
back to budapest. I not a person that sticks to the same routine, but
by always going back to the exact same apartment makes it feel like I'm
arriving home when I get there - if you get my drift.
Last year, I did some cycling around this beautiful country. If you
plan on cycling, unless your are a serious cyclist, leave you bike at
home and rent a bike in budapest. I found bike rental agency that also
do rental tours. I can't remember cycling website, but the name is
something like "Zebra Bikes/Cycles" - you will find contact details in
the tourist office. Also if you do go to the tourist office you get
loads of free maps of the city and country. I got cycling and walking
maps for free.
Prague in June We visited Prague in June 2004. The bridge was crowded and lots of other places were too. But the weather was perfect. Absolutely fabulous temperatures and the sun felt gentle. If you go to the castle and to the bridge early in the morning, there are no crowds even in that busy tourist month. We will be living there from January through June this year and hope to soak in the music and other things a short visit would not allow.
Up westmeath Great to see you enjoyed watching Westmeath winning their first ever Leinster title. I'm from Athlone and am currently looking at travelblog as I'm heading to Australia and NZ and then I came across your site!
Pablo I live in Chile, my country. But i had a great amount of luck because i knew Budapest. I love it, and day by day i remember it, i can't forget the streets, a little coffes, and the women, they are so beautiful. When i was in Budapest, during the night, i wasn't to able to sleep, because i was thinking about all those beautiful women. Some day i hope to return to this place, for me, the most beautiful city that i had never seeing.
Oh, i'm learning to speak in hungarian too

Best laid plans.... Too bad about the Ufizzi. The day we had planned to see it was a holiday. Who knew? How would one know? Anyway, we saw a lot of Florence and the Ufizzi the next day. Had to wait in line for 3-4 hours. And we even knew about the "day in advance" ticket purchase.
Ireland is Great! It looks like you are having a wonderful time! I've always heard that the island is the world's greenest. Now I know it is true.
All's well here. Aut Gail, Mellisa and Alexis send their love. They shopped till they dropped at Concord Mills.
Luv ya!

Bein with Jen J in Blighty rocks! I just wanted to say it was wicked awesome to be able to hang out with Jen in Canterbury, Brighton and London, it was great for me and am well chuffed it was great for her too. It was fab being able to meet up every day and introduce her to the people I know and love not to mention the Thai I know and love too (Imperial platter, ordered 5 times on consecutive nights not to mention the race to get there in time on the second night! Fun!). I had a blast and I guess she did too and I know that it's just the beginning for her (am seriously jealous now that I'm back at work!).
Brilliant! Nice blogging so far! Might be cool to use British spellings for your time in England--"viewing the colour of the cliffes from the centre of town was simply smashing"
hey there Hey Jen. I\'m back in the US-of-A here, getting ready to leave for Italy. Nice pics!
I expect to see a pic of you standing in London chanting \"USA! USA! USA!\".
See you next week! Can\'t wait to get together with everyone!!!

Hey! I'm a Bostonian with an insatiable case of wanderlust ... so I'm heading to Europe for the summer.
A little more about me ... I graduated from college in 2001 with a B.A. in English. For about a year-and-a-half, I lived and worked in Charlotte, NC. In February 2003, I relocated to Boston. Now, I'm having a blast living it up in a fun and crazy city. But, the call of the open road is beckoning me.
Check in on me as I prepare to leave for Europe in June ... I can't wait! I'll keep you posted as each step is accomplished.
