Summer Vacation 2008

Sorry for the delay guys. Was pretty busy in Cork, you know, with last-minute packing and a little bit (I repeat, a little bit) of last-minute cleaning up of the house, at the same time entertaining my cousin.. hehe. Thus, the delay in updating regarding our little back-packing trip.

So, here's my vacation summary:

6-10th June - went to Galway, accompany my friend during the weekend because her husband had to attend a course. Most of the time, we were in front of the TV playing Wii.. hahaha (I miss Mr. Mario in Mario Galaxy.. seriously!)

Mr. Mario's getting high.. =P

10-11th June - went to Dublin, pick up my cousin from the airport and spent one night in Dublin. The next day just walking around Dublin city center.. went to St. Stephan's Green park, Trinity College, RCSI etc and did some window shopping. Our flight to Brussels on the same day ETD 17:55. In Brussels, arrived quite late, straight away checked-in in the oh-so-gorgeous B&B, Albert's Inn.

Scaring off the swan by trying to be like one. =P

12th June - Sight-seeing in Brussels. Went to Grotte Market, Mannekin Pis, went on the Hop-on Hop-off bus sight-seeing tour, the Atomium.. It was enjoyable, but would have been fantastic if it wasn't raining.. And it was freezing cold!

13th June - Day trip to Amsterdam. 10am train to Amsterdam. Walk along Damrak street. Went into a museum (not telling which.. haha), walk along Warmoesstraat, the R.L.D. of Amsterdam =P, took a cruise ride along the canals of Amsterdam. Took the 9pm train back to Brussels.

14th June - slept at the train station while waiting for the 4.30 am bus to Brussels Charleroi airport for flight back to Dublin. Took the bus back to Cork..

That was it peeps.. a short summarization of the whole trip. Enjoyed it pretty much.. except the weather wasn't on our side really. All in all, it was a memorable trip.. *wink*
