Back in Dublin

Location : Dublin, Ireland.

The weekend in West Coast Ireland was bloody awesome! I've just pulled back into Dublin earlier on tonight. Brad, a Scottish bloke we met at the backpackers(Dave) and I scoured the coastline of County Clare, from Crab Island down to Doonbeg including Doughmore beach which is actually inaccessible to the public. But of course, images of electric shocks, flying golf balls and shotguns on signboards weren't oblivious to us. =) We trudged through private farm lands, ploughed our way through cow dung, sand dunes, golf courses, electric fences(!)...to look for surf. Yeah, I've got stories to tell but I'm afraid I'll have to leave it to another time. I am really, really exhausted. Here's 2 photographs I snapped with my Canon Ixus 40 earlier on today :-

The weather has been really marvellous the whole time I've been here. It's been sunny all day, every friggin' day! It's been forecasted to drop below freezing again so I...guesss...zzzZZZzzzZZZZzzzz....
