Ireland 2006, Day 3

Or Friday the 7th of July to be exact. After a good nights rest the five of us crawl out of our tent to continue the journey. As it stands M and me, the hitchhikers, are planning to arrive on Saturday or possibly Sunday at the EJC in Millstreet, while the cyclists, B, S and T will need a bit more time. S only came for the ride and the scenery and has a plane on Monday morning from Cork to Dublin and then from Dublin back home. The others hope to arrive in Millstreet somewhere on Monday.

Ireland 2006, Day 2 continued

About an hour after my previous post M arrived. We discussed for a moment what we would do, and decided it would be the cheapest to leave Dublin straight away. The others (S, T and B) had been going merrily by bike, maybe we would be able to catch up with them. The plan was to do the largest part of the trip, about 300 km, hitchhiking. M and me have hitchhiked together before, it's easy and cheap and a bit of adventure. We had read before that 'thumbing' wasn't a big problem in Ireland, but it seems things have changed.

Ireland 2006, Day 2

The day didn't start out too well. I only booked for one night in the hostel yesterday because I wasn't sure what we would do today. M has informed me in the meantime he would like to stay in Dublin for the night. When I went to the desk this morning they told me they were fully booked. Bummer!
So now I'm on the road with my backpack once again. I've been looking around for another hostel, but haven't found something decent in the same price range. M should be here in an hour I guess, so we'll see what happens then.

Ireland 2006, Day 1

I'm in a youth hostel in Dublin where Internet costs 1€ for 15 bloody minutes, so a short message today. I'm by myself today, but tomorrow M arrives. We'll stay in Dublin for another day and then start hitchhiking to the EJC in Millstreet. I spent too much today, but I have found what I was looking for, a rain poncho, camping gaz and a map of Ireland. Dublin has a really nice vibe, I could get quite comfortable here.

Leaving for Millstreet

Tomorrow I'm leaving for the infamous European Juggling Festival, the EJC 2006, as I've mentioned before. If there is Internet access on the site I'll post a few juicy diary entries.
