CHRONOLOGICALLY: #4

The next few posts will be completely out of time. I started and left some unfinished, but the posts before this have a lot to go through before they're finished. So, chronologically this post is #4 in line, but posted first.

I came back from Ireland two days ago - legs aching because I climbed a mountain (Croagh Patrick) the day before. It took 6 hours, though for normal people it'd take 4. We went on our butts by the end of it too. I stayed with family in the west of Ireland, very countryside with sheep, cows and horses surrounding us. It was incredibly peaceful (some would say too peaceful) but I think it was exactly what I needed after such stressing weeks in London. The air was clean and the food was plentiful (seriously, we had takeaway almost every night). Then, we headed to Dublin, where we found a lovely Yeats exhibition in the National Library!

We also went to the zoo where we were amazed by eastern bongos. If you've never seen one, Google it. It, will, blow, your, mind. It was really wonderful catching up with my cousins, I never go to Ireland as much as I did as a kid, maybe because my parents are always off working or somewhere now, but it was a nice change of scenery - and boy, did they have scenery.






Very top of Croagh Patrick. I was more than ecstatic.
I didn't buy much because the prices were very similar to London - but I did get a polka dot top and that parka in the picture above because the blazer I brought over was not climbing attire. Thank God I did as well, because it was freezing at the top. We had a feast there as well. Great holiday.
