Dublin, Ireland to Llandudno, Wales Sunday, February 15, 2015 Early start today, as I had to be at the ferry port for 8:15am. Luckily it’s not too far from the centre of the city. Had to get a taxi out there though, as it would have been a bit too much of a hike to …
Dublin, Ireland Saturday, February 14, 2015 This will probably end up being a fairly short entry, as I spent pretty much the whole day in one museum or another, which doesn’t really translate to text that well. My first stop for the day was the Archaeology museum – part of the National Museum of Ireland, …
Dublin, Ireland Friday, February 13, 2015 (Yeah, I know, I haven’t exactly been keeping up with the blogging very well have I?) Headed out for a bit of a wander around the streets to start the day off, before heading to the Dublin City Hall. There’s a tour company in Europe, Sandeman’s New Europe Tours, …
Probably going to be a shortish entry today, as it was primarily a travelling day. Also, I didn’t take any photos I’m afraid! I’ll try and make up for it tomorrow. First order of business for today was to finish packing. I didn’t think I’d bought that much stuff during my travels, but my pack …
(Yeah, I’ve skipped a day for the moment – the entry for yesterday’s tour of the Scottish Highlands is taking a bit longer to put together than I anticipated, so I’m skipping ahead and will hopefully finish it soon) Had a bit of a late start today – after a rather busy and long day …
(Yeah, I know this is late, so sue me! It was a long day yesterday!) Early start today, as I had to be in the heart of the city for an 8am departure of my tour. This was my third tour with Rabbies, and like the previous ones, I was not disappointed. The last time …

Started today off with a little bit of retail therapy. Always a dangerous prospect when you only have a backpack, but I was careful! I have my flight to Ireland on Thursday to think of, never mind the return flight to Australia… After spending a while wandering the shopping areas around Princes Street, I headed …
So my plan of getting up a bit early and going out to take some more photos of the city before I left kind of backfired. Not because I slept in or anything, but because it was so darned foggy and misty! After packing up I headed into the city for a last look around, …
So, today I set out with the intention of exploring the city of Chester. Bit odd to be doing this on my final day instead of the first but oh well. Luckily for me, the centre of the city isn’t too far from my hotel, and the whole area is nicely walkable. I spent a …
Brr, a cold start today! Luckily it warmed up once the sun was out, otherwise it could have been a rather uncomfortable day! My first stop for the day was the train station to collect my tickets for the trip to Edinburgh on Sunday. Also stopped in at the Costa Coffee for a hot chocolate …
(This delay was not my fault! The hotel’s wifi is playing up and I didn’t have a chance to try and get the tethering from my mobile working last night!) Woke up to a typical London day – drizzly and rather dreary. Luckily for me, today was a travelling day! After packing I made good …
Hooray! I’ve finally written and published a blog entry on the correct day! Let’s see how long this lasts. So, after a rather early start to the day (and writing yesterday’s entry) I headed out to the tube station around the corner and made my way to Victoria station. From there, I was able to …
