Vrijdag 27 april stonden we heeel vroeg op om vervolgens tijdens de drukste dag van Schiphol weg te komen naar Cork. Vanaf daar de trein naar Killarney en de laatste benodigdheden voor de wandeling inslaan. (heeele dure gastankjes) Rond een uurtje of drie aan de wandel richting het Killarney National Park. De bewegwijzering van de Kerry way liet ons al vrij snel in de steek, maar gelukkig hadden we een kaart. Langs Mucross Abbey en Mucross House en het prachtige Mucross lake belandden we uit het toeristisch 'paarden met koetsen-stuk' bij Torc Waterfall. Een steil pad leidde ons helemaal naar boven en vanaf daar liepen we door oeroud eikenbos weg van alle toeristen. Na een stukje klimmen opende een prachtig oneindig berglandschap zich voor ons! Het werd al laat, dus tijd om een plekje voor de ... read more

FRIDAY 10 / 3 / - Blarney Due to my exhaustion off waking up early and getting to sleep late with a bit off CIDER in the belly the previous day it was a horrible 10.30am wake up for me... missing the complimentry breakfast and being the only person left in the bedroom sleeping! Oh my I've missed out on a whole 1.5hours off sight seeing. After a quick shower and slick off the hair I packed my bag and set off into the town centre again. I went to a sandwhich bar and ended up having an egg something. It was Irish. Whilst I was there I met another Australian who was living/working in Cork. She said her friends band where playing at a club later on and that she would call me later. Score... ... read more

Today was a very random day. I decided to go on a little trip with Mr Sands(our professor) and Greg, another student on the trip, around the area. Mr Sands had a rental car, so it was easy to get around. We stopped in Dingle to get a bite to eat, it was really good. We went to the Derrymore Strand of beaches, and we wanted to go to this one place called "Castle Gregory" because greg thought it was an actual castle. Nope, it was just another town haha.. We then made our way up through Brandon Mountain and Connors Pass. It was breathtaking once again... We wanted to stay to make it to sunrise.. and we did =)... here are some more pictures for you to all look at and be jelous of me. ... read more

Since jen and i stayed home while everyone else was kissing the blarney stone, the neihbors decided to take jen and i out to the bar. Well... it was more than we bargained for. I think they thought we could handle more... This was not the case. Jen got sick. I almost did. I think we just ended up passing out. All in all tho we met some great new irish people, girls actually. They were really sweet. ... I also am adding some pics from Horans Night Club when we went with the neighbors. A bunch of us ended up going that night. Drinks were pretty cheap and there were some crazy ass people there. This old lady was pole dancing and she had this long trench coat on.. I didnt know what to say, ... read more
