The Worlds Coolest 15 Year Old

This is the blog of my travel through Europe which started in August 2005 with a 37 day Contiki tour through Western Europe, followed by 11 months living in England and Scotland, before taking off for three months travel through Eastern Europe with some friends. After spending the last couple of months in England at the pub, its now time to head to Ireland!

Ireland

I had the chance to head to Ireland to catch up with good friends Seamus and Jocelyn as they went to Seamus' old home town of Wicklow to have their new born baby Niamh christened. While I was only in Ireland for 4 days, it gave me a taste of what I can hope to expect when I go there to work next year.

As well as catching up with Sea and Joss, I also got to see some of their friends and family who made the journey over from Australia, as well as Seamus' family there in Ireland. I also got an unexpected surprise when I caught up with Mary, whom both Seamus and I worked with back in Melbourne.

The whole weekend went off without incident - oh except for missing my flight back to Edinburgh, which happened to be the last flight of the night, meaning I had to sleep at the airport and catch the first flight back in the morning (at 6:30am) and then head straight to work. Oh the joy!!

While I didnt see much of Dublin, I gotta say, the Guiness factory is worth seeing. Love the stuff!
