Anyone been to Ireland?

Last 2 holidays I have been on where the best 2:

 

Budapest: April 2 years ago, with 14 mates. Was fantastic what I can remember 30p a pint and 75p a litre of Vodka ftw. Budapest a pretty nice place would like to go back properly one day. Because I basicaly only saw pubs and night clubs for the whole 5 days and that was it.

 

Isle Of Wight: Went to the festival this June was fantastic IOW such a nice place as well everythings so close together thats its pretty imposible not to find something to do.

 

I've also been to France twice when I was younger. Next year I am going traveling though hopefully to lots of places.

No wonder I don't know where it is. Slap bang in the middle of lots of other countries I don't know much about, and probably some have never heard of.

I once went for a camping/cycling/ holiday for a week in the Hebrides. A stunningly beautiful part of the world, but make preparations. It was sunny all week apart from one simply massive storm that lasted six hours then totally vanished. We had to shelter that night in a nearby hotel.

Ha, my dads' been to lanzarote lots too. He's there at the moment actually...I don't see the attraction myself.

 

Well, it's a consistent 25-30 degrees C all year round, and averages half an inch of rain a year. It's never too hot that it's unbearable because of the cool northerly winds. It's a nicer alternative to the Mediterranean Spanish islands, where it rains more and has more fluctuating temperatures.

I've been to... (from East to West as best I can)

 

Florida (All the best theme parks :D)

New Jersey (6 months so not really a holiday)

Portugal

Spain

Majorca

France

Netherlands

Switzerland

Tunisia, Africa (Too young to really remember)

Turkey

China

Macau

Hong Kong (hottest place on the list)

 

they were all... very hot, except one trip to France in February where I spent most of the week with the flu.

 

I want to see so much more though :D

Posted

In a chronological order;

 

Wales

France

Belgium

Holland

Spain

Portugal

Dubai

Australia (with a stop-over in thailand, but I didn't leave the airport so that doesn't count)

Italy

 

For school trips, football, art, family, cancer and romance.

 

Next up? No idea. Probably won't go on another holiday until I can afford it outright myself (I had to pay for the trip to italy and part of the trip to australia), which probably won't be until after I leave uni.

This thread would be x5 better with pics. (Personally I don't have any on my iMac of my holiday escapades).

 

I would but I don't have a scanner anymore :(

Don't you mean west to east?

 

 

Anyways, I've been to a lot of places:

 

New Zealnd- the climate is much the same as here in England, but the landscape is AMAZING

 

 

Ireland- Been to the west. It's so much more pretty than the east (apparantly), and the jugged coasts of the Atlantic. Much colder and wetter than here.

 

France- mainly the south. It has the mildest climate in the the meditteranean, and the water was FREEZING

 

Spain- I hate Spain, most people in it don't even want to be Spanish. Warm, I'll give it that. But there's much better places.

 

USA- Detroit, amazing, New York and southern California. California was warm I guess, and I love the USA. There're such lovely people!

 

Germany- Amazing. Been to Aachen, on the west border. Weather was temperate.

 

Going to Bermuda, supposed to be great. With its sub-tropical climate, pink beaches, English speaking peoples I can't go wrong. Heck, it' even owned by the UK.

Found some pics on my comp from the 1st trip to scotland:

 

waterfallinscotlandeo9.th.jpg

 

That's a waterfall somewhere in Scotland - um, those who live in Scotland may know it, you have to go down a really steep path to get to it that mostly path with steps but in some parts it's just poor rocky natural path. I think it's also in the same region as Loch Ness.

 

The rest had me looking ugly in so I won't post them.

Born in Scotland (lived in Inverness, Forres, Elgin), lived in Germany (Guttersloh and somewhere else) and now in Northern Ireland (Ballymena)

 

visited...

England: Weymouth, Birmingham, London, Yorkshire, Devon, and lots of other random wee places on the way. Scotland: Inverness, Aberdeen, Nairn, Elgin, and probably a load more.

I used thumbnails and now I see " op_stop(); ;op_start();" on mine and yours, even though I saw the thumbnail fine before.

Cornwall is wicked, me and the wife have been there so many times we must have been everywhere there worth seeing, done all the attractions on both coastlines, picniced on the moors, were there for the eclipse in '99, even found a place not for from Tintagel with the classic name of 'Rock Head'. Was last down there last summer, when we stayed at my personal favourite place, Bude, going back there again for next years holiday too, somewhere just outside Penzance this time.

Penzance is pretty good...main thing I remember about it is some giant rock formation by the sea.

Yeah, St Michaels Mount, a couple of miles outside of town, that's where I was for the eclipse in '99. It's pretty cool, it's an ex monastery on an island and when the tides out you can walk over there.
