Hylke, Maarten & Anders adventures in Ireland!

A return ticket to Dublin costed 35,- Euro. So we thought it might be worthwile to
visit this city and the surrounding country!

The first day we arrived at about dinnertime. We walked around a little in the city and then had
a (rather expensive) dinner at some very touristic place. Then we had ourselves a lot of Guinness
and went into the city. First to a really nice irish pub with lots of irish people. Then we went to
a club, but this was not very much our kind of place as R&B was the most played music.
We met some other (rock)dudes who recommended a club called Bruxelles and i had a chat with a
Pakistani who was ashamed of his friend dancing really weird. Anyway, i learnd that Guinness rocks!


The second day we did some sightseeing in Dublin. It is a small city and we had seen most of it
at the end of the day. Nothing spectactular to find, except some old buildings like this one.


This piece of art is kind of cool!


And this dude too! He looks almost real.



This bird was ill and walking around totally NOT afraid of dudes like me. I tried to keep it off the road.
He's probably in birdy heaven now...



A church... go-church go-church go-church!


The walkingbridge of burning skulls! No sorry, just a bridge.


Now this is interesting! The Guinness factory right in the center of the town!

That night we first went back to the irish pub we went to the night before and then to Bruxelles.
This place was really cool. Playing nice music on several different floors above eachother. We
met some people here aswell. I met an old gay man. He kept talking to me, telling me i was beautiful.
I had to wait 2 minutes for the Guinness foam to sink in. Disgusting leather jeans... brr.


The next day we went to Belfast by bus. This city you can sightsee in 30 minutes. This is the city hall.
About the only thing in this city.


A churchie!


The leaning Big Ben of Bel Pisa Fast.


This city is poor! The cranes you see to the right are the cranes that built the Titanic! But i didn't
know this when i took the photo. Another thing that you will notice when you visit Belfast (and UK
in general) is that all girls are dressed very slutty.


This poor city has an university!

That evening we saw a movie called million dollar baby. Check:

if you want to know what this film is about.


The next day we went on a sightseeing tour (with a touroperator). Touroperators suck! I should
have learned this by now! No it is not entirely true. We had a good time on the bus! The thing i
valued most on this trip was the view of the grassy green irish landscape and cliffy shores.


"Geen verder commentaar", as all Dutch politicians say.


Nice huh? This spot was specially made to take photos! I believe a million dudes have a picture just
like this one. The funny thing is that Hylke had a hard time climbing over a fence just to take a
picture, before we spotted this tourist photoshooting spot.


When the other fat tourists were having a 45 min.dinner stop, we went down to the cliffy shores!



Forgot to mention: We had incredible luck with the weather all holiday!


Not many nude beaches here...


We wondered what photo would turn out nicer: with lots of hill or lots of sky. What's your oppinion?


Then came the main-attraction: The giant causeway! 60 million years ago there was a great
earthquake here (and a big tsunami afterwards i presume). This earthquake created strange rock-
formations. Can you see them on this photo?


You probably couldn't, so here they are.


Here some more. I wouldn't recomend people to visit the giant causeway.


A nice ruin along the way.

After that we went to a whiskey-distillery and saw one big commercial! And tested some whiskeys.

That night we first visited the lounge-area (a room) in the hostel. This was kind of cool! The
Yougoslavian maffia was richly present, as well as dealers and other scums. But also a very nice
dude who had travelled and worked in different countries for 4 years. Amongst other things,
he told us that beer causes headackes and Guinness violent diarrhoea.

The end!
