Hello from rainy Ireland! Our first stop of this exciting journey did actually have a bit of excitement. We were suppose to fly into Dublin, but our airplane was grounded in Shannon after some weather delays caused our flight crew to work overtime. They told us on the plane that we would be given an Aerlingus flight to Dublin, but once we got off the plane, we realized they actually meant a coach (translation: bus). It would have taken about 4 hours to get to Dublin & we were only planning on staying there for another 2 days before heading back Southeast (3 hour bus ride South of Shannon), so we decided to skip Dublin all together & just head to our second stop, Killarney. Once we got into the town, we headed straight for the ... read more

Estella - Los Arcos ca. 22km. Gestern war es echt noch lustig. Habe eine nette Herberge in Estella gefunden. Erst bei einer privaten, die hat aber von aussen nicht so toll gewesen, dann bin ich an den wunderschoenen Kirchen vorbei zu der richtigen Pilger hergberge der Gemeinde. Gleich am Empfang meinen Stempel bekommen und eine kleine Nackenmassage des Herbergsvaters. Echt nett!!! Magret und Hannah aus Lippe waren auch da. Gabi, Martina und Ludmilla aus Oesterreich kennengelernt. War ein echt lustiger Abend. Haben uns zum kochen in Los Arcos verabredet. Die Waden! Ich dummie hab null gedehnt. Da lag der Fehler. Heute gings beser aber bergab mit meinen kaputten Knien war nicht so eine FReude. Haette rueckwarts gehen muessen. Zu spaet daran gedacht. Bin heute um 6.25 Uhr los und um 11.45 Uhr in Los arcos angekommen. ... read more

Off to see the wizard... or rather not, arriving delhi on Monday morning, 18th June, and off to McLeod Ganj the same night. Will stay there for 6 weeks and hopefully get some volunteer work whilst there. Then a quick jaunt round Ladahk, as it was the high light of the last trip, and then home. I haven't as long as last time, where I tried to do most things in the the north west of india, so concentrating on volunteering. last time went, in no particular order, to amaritsar, jaipur, jodhpur, pushkar, jaisalmer, amedibad, shimla, manali, dharamasala, Leh, agra, delhi, orchra and that was about it. I spent 4 months in Mcleod Ganj working at the Dip Tse Chok Ling monastary, teaching as best i could. enough for now, more on monday, when i ... read more

Ah, finally back to a computer...it's been so long. BARCELONA: After our return from Morrocco, Lisa and I ended up spending the night in the Madrid airport, because our flight got in so late. Okay, so we really didn't want to spend a night on accommodation because we were heading to Barcelona so early in the morning. The night we arrived we checked out Las Ramblas, which are pedestrian streets filled with shops and people....oh the people. After a restful night in our pension...we headed out to hit up the sights for the day. First, we went to Park Guell, a park filled with Gaudi architecture. (Gaudi architecture is amazing, much different than anything i've seen before) We then headed to a Labrynth park, literally a park with a labrynth in it. I must say, ... read more
