Fourth day, 16°C (with peaks of 20°C during the day): overcast, then sunny, breezy. While we’re having breakfast we meet the family from Novara: they have traveled around the island clockwise, so they’re on the way back. We say goodbye, we pay and we thank Mrs. Mary; we got into the car and we head […] Leggi tutto…
Third day of travel. Let the Morgan Hotel, we call a taxi and arrive at Hertz, where at the parking lot number 13 (already a good sign!) a black Opel Corsa 3-door and, of course, with the driver’s seat to the right expected us! Terzo giorno di viaggio. Lasciamo il Morgan Hotel, chiamiamo un taxi […] Leggi tutto…
BIRRA, FOCHE E TRENI CHE NON FANNO RITARDO #2 Howth, County Dublin. A charming town located north of the capital, perched on the shore of a jagged design bay. We arrived by train from Dublin’s Dart (4.30 € A/R per person). We leave the small station and we immediately understand that what we have seen […] Leggi tutto…
BIRRA, FOCHE E TRENI CHE NON FANNO RITARDO Second and last day in Dublin. Having already seen most of the monuments, parks and castles during the first day, today we spend the day with the Irish institution par excellence that for someone (certainly not me) is very important: the beer. So we go to the […] Leggi tutto…
It’s afternoon. After having digested the burger more or less “light” that we ate on a bench along the lake at St. Stephen’s Green, we’re approaching to the Trinity College, passing through Grafton Street. This is the shopping street, where we find the most original advertising posters ever seen in the world: they are held […] Leggi tutto…
First real day of travel. Irish breakfast made with several types of sausage, eggs, bacon, milk and cereals, juice and so on. Backpacking, travel guide in one hand and we cross the Morgan threshold; umbrella in the othe handr, because is drizzling. We head to the Bank of Ireland, we overcome it and continue walking […] Leggi tutto…
PRONTI, PARTENZA… VIA! The journey begins. Our flight to Dublin departs from Milano Malpensa, the airline is Aer Lingus. Snacks aren’t free on board, so I suggest you to have dinner at the airport before or after check-in, to avoid spending 20€ for a sausage sandwich and a 0.25 cl bottle of water, as our […] Leggi tutto…
LA PARTENZA SI AVVICINA The parcel post has arrived. If you are lucky as me, but I think it depends on what you have requested by phone or email, you will receive a huge road map of Ireland, a bed and breakfast useful guide (with many photos and GPS to achieve your b&b), three brochures […] Leggi tutto…
UNA PRIMA INFARINATURA IRLANDESE NON FA MAI MALE… When you have bought the Lonely Planet… you read it, of course. You note the places where you would like to go and then you groom here and there on the internet, watching the most beautiful pictures of Ireland on Flickr, reading some travelogues, watching video on […] Leggi tutto…
TANTO PER COMINCIARE Upstream, last summer my boyfriend and I haven’t been at the seaside as most people do in August. This year I went on holiday on a special island: Ireland. Controcorrente, la scorsa estate non siamo stati al mare come la maggior parte delle persone fa in agosto. Siamo andati in vacanza su […] Leggi tutto…
