Pre-Euro
Wed 9 May 2007
Shiro is going to Euro for the first time!
4 days from now!
I don't know why I thought working up to my trip was such a brilliant idea...
So here's the basic itinerary (bound to change with the flow):
Ireland (Dublin, Wicklow, Ring of Kerry) May 13-20
England (Liverpool, Sheffield) 21-23
Scotland (Edinburgh, the coast) 24-26
England (Sheffield, London) 27-31
Austria (Vienna) June 1-6
Italy (Venice, Florence) 7-10
Germany (Berlin, Munich, Maybe Prague CZ) 11-16
France (Cote D' Azure, Paris) 17-23
Ireland (Dublin) 24-26
So...I'll keep you updated!

Well... You are there now, off and away, probably in a pub in Dublin right now. Say hello to the Liffey for me, walk the bluffs in Wicklow (just above the harbor, near the cannons) and blow a kiss to the wind. While in Wicklow, listen for the ghosts of the old Wicklow prison, go to the little B&B on the lower part and listen for the Banshee... And definitely keep adding to this journal so that I become overwhelmed by jealousy... By the way, there was (may still exist) this particular B&B in Dublin, nice and cheap, but I don't the name. Go to the Spire (a monument on the opposite side of the Liffey as the Temple Bar), very close to the Spire will be a statue of James Joyce (the locals call it "The prick on a stick", because of his cane). With your back to the spire and the large street, walk down (I believe it's O'Connell St.) and keep to the left hand side. After a block and a half (about) there will be a place... But then, you might already have a place...
Have fun!
