So, I feel like Prague has let me down a little. Or maybe I had heard so many good things about it that i put it up high, and it just didnt pull through!! Don't get me wrong... it is a gorgeous city but i kinda thought it was going to be 10 times better. There are copius amounts of eye candy though!! And tourists up the wahzoo!! Especially in this hostel... Contiki, Topdeck and Busabout all stop in here. Australians for miles!! And the language is crazy! Usually you can sort of make some kind of rhyme or reason to what Europeans are saying. But Czechs... nothing!! Off to Vienna tomorrow which hopefully will be fun. My favourite DJ isn't playing at the Hostel Bar tonight so I am off to bed early.

4 SLEEPS UNTIL MY GREAT EUROPEAN ADVENTURE!!!

I have decided England just can't do junk food like home. Especially lollies. They are rubbish here. And chips- or crisps here.. seriously missing the Garlic Aioli Health Plus and Sour Cream & Chives Grain Waves. My mouth is watering.... Although Walkers Cheese and Onion are to die for. But it is the lollies I miss. Even the Jelly Beans are way different and they taste worse. I probably shouldn't eat them anyways. But they're so addictive.....

I can't believe it is only 3 weeks today until I fly to Prague. Time has flown. Brought a new swimsuit today for my trip- I am going to the Greek Islands after all. And the sales are on.. so i got a bit excited and brought a few tops as well. Mum- you'll be seriously jealous with the sales over here. Freaking amazing. And sooo cheap. You need to come over at the end of the seasons cause it is wicked. And all the new boots are starting to come out. Exciting!!

OK Tyrel.... Here is the new cartoons of the famdamily!!

So...it turns out I am quite boring over the last couple of weeks. I have been trying to save money for my trip round Europe. I did shout myself to see Mamma Mia last week. I know I am going to get hassled for saying this.... but I thought it was lame. But the music was fantastic... I brought ABBA Gold after seeing it. Just thought the story was lacking something.

Anyway....Got Bored last week and found a Cartoon Website.... Here is my family. Lotsa Luv..

I got back from Ireland in one piece.... just!! I did have a fun time, but Dublin the city was a little disappointing.. it was full of American tourists and kinda dirty. But I really enjoyed the day trip up to Fourknocks, Monasterboice and Mellifont Abbey. It was a really fun day. Except when I almost knocked myself out with a brick wall. I've still got a lump on my forehead and have had headaches for the last 3 days!

But anywho... I managed to go to the Guinness Storehouse and have a look around the brewery. You'd all be proud.. I made my way through a pint of Guinness! Random Fact... they produce 4 million pints of Guinness every day and half that is for Ireland. And Arthur Guinness signed a lease for the St James Brewery in 1904 for 9000 years!

Also I was going to do a Literary Walk around Dublin, but being typically irish, it rained every day bar one so didn't get that far.

I was going to stay in Birmingham for the day on Thursday when I came home but the radar system went down at Dublin airport so my plane was delayed for 2 and a 1/2 hours so I was exhausted when I got back.

Here are some pics....

This is one of three Celtic crosses at Monasterboice. They are set amongst a cemetery and ruins an old monastry chapel. And they stand about another 10 foot above me.

This is Christchurch Cathedral in the heart of Dublin.

Me and my Guinness at the Gravity Bar at the very top of the Guinness Storehouse. 360 degrees of glass windows.

The Spire right at the middle of O'Connell St. They locals call it either the Rod to God or the Erection at the Intersection.

This is Mellifont Abbey.

This is for Mum & Beck.... everything you see is U2. And this is just one wall.

Big decision to make...... got 4 days off soon..... Ireland or Paris???? Any suggestions????
