A crawling week


In the interests of research I decided to take one of the tours advertised in the hostel reception. After much himming and hawwing, between the celtic experience tour of newgrange to see the neolithic tombs to the wild wicklow tour to get in the set of Ballykissangel, I opted for the backpacker pub crawl! Purely in the interest of research of course (oh i said that already, maybe the more I say it, the more believable it will become!)

So I headed to Major Tom's to hook up with the tour which already had hit several pubs and were a bit ahead of me in the drinking stakes, but a free shot sorted that out pretty quickly! Then the gang took to the dance floor which resulted in serious cheesy dancing. It was a mixed group, a good few typical backpackers and then a couple of older gangsters!

Then it was on to the Porterhouse for more shots and more bad dancing to the live band. The pub crawl resulted in two couples who didn't know each other before.... I'm sure that wasn't included in the 9 euro! Nice one!!

Anyway work the next morning was a bit of a trial.... shots are bad for you folks!!

Also the Dublin LGBTQ Pride Festival 2007 culminating with the pride parade on the 23rd June. Now that will be a day out and a half!!
