Easter Ireland




Just back from the land of green and ginger people. It was a nice but brief visit to my homeland where weather takes priority above all else and surprisingly, it was pretty good. We took advantage of this and went to visit Glendalough which is a very picturesque place - for proof look above this. I only went into the city a couple of times and spent most of the time at home or out on drives which turned into long walks. Asia enjoyed herself and into the Easter spirit by sinking her teeth into a bunny. I ate a little too much and felt a bit sick from too much chocolate.

Here comes the summer





Tired of writing my assignment and wasting the first decent weekend of good weather for what seems like a long, long time, I took my bike and hit the road trying not to get myself killed or be sucked into the depths of one of the craters at the sides of the road. I went in the direction of Nowa Huta and kept going not knowing what to expect but determined to burn off some restless energy.
I certainly did so but the thing I enjoyed was the small village I came upon which is not far from the end of one of the tram lines but still hasn't been sucked into the city's suburbs. It lacked all the things that a village lacks such as people, and buildings of interest but it was still nice to do something different. I even came across an abandoned building (don't read this Dave) but I was too scared to venture very far inside. It's too scary when alone.
