Ireland

[odycee]

I'm currently in Cork in an internet cafe (with damn weird music) waiting around because my flight home isn't until half past eight this evening. I've had such a great week in Ireland. We've been so lucky with the weather - I've only got wet a few times. One of those times was because we were out walking in the hills and we had to ford a river a couple of times with bare feet. Very exciting! And then I went up to my ankle in a boggy bit when I put my boot back on. D'oh.

Needless to say it was all very lovely. Kerry is so beautiful. Meeting up with niannah was fab and it was great for her to meet my friends and to meet up with her friends. Amongst other things we went horse riding, saw some prehistoric tetrapod foot prints, went walking in the hills, saw lots of ancient settlements, castles and standing stones and rang some church bells. Last night we went out for birthday drinks in Cork which was great.

Whilst I was away, people voted in niannah's multifandom wordathon (and I popped online to vote too) and I came second! Very bizarre! Anna made me a banner:



I hope I haven't missed anything too exciting as I haven't the stamina to go back 3539475 entries in my f-list!

ETA: My two year LJ anniversary was last week - I can't believe that I've been hanging around here for two years!! Scary!

It certainly is my birthday tomorrow - a whole quarter of a century! Scary.

We didn't get to go to the Skellig Islands because the seas were too rough so our backup plan was to go Valentia to see the footprints. We also went to the 'Skellig Experience' when we were there which had the most dull audiovisual presentation I have ever seen. But it was quite amusing in a 'I can't believe this is actually that bad' kind of way...

Yay!
