I thought my trip to South Africa earlier this year was a bit of a mad dash but it has nothing on the traveling I will be doing this December. Here it is in short-form, starting on the 1st of December and ending on the 30th of December:
Waterford (Ireland) - Cork (Ireland) - Hong Kong (China) - Jakarta (Indonesia) - Yogyakarta (Indonesia) - Jakarta (Indonesia) - Hong Kong (China) - Cork (Ireland) - Waterford (Ireland) - Dublin (Ireland) - Cape Town (South Africa) - Johannesburg (South Africa) - Windhoek (Namibia) - Johannesburg (South Africa) - Cape Town (South Africa) - Dublin (Ireland) - Waterford (Ireland)
That is 8 cities and 4 countries across a handful of airlines. The craziest bit will be arriving back from Indonesia on the 7th of December and flying to South Africa the next day.
Had a grand day down at Ardmore. Ate at the Whitehorses restaurant after the cliff walk and I must say it was one of the best restaurant meals I have had in Ireland.
I am off to the Sea Fair Haven 2006 in Wales for four days. Won’t have email or net access so this will be the last post for awhile and I won’t be able to handle email (anything important text me on +353 86 896 8944.) I bought a Vango Delta 200 tent and a Vango Ultralight II 900 sleeping bag, I’ll report on how they faired.
So till Tuesday morn’ when I’ll be bringing back a hangover, blistered hands, bruised shins, lots of photos and a big grin. Enjoy the weekend all.
I’ll be in Pembrokeshire, Wales next weekend, 23rd to the 26th of June 2006, for the Sea Fair Haven boat festival. An Seabhac Mara will be there with the rest of the crew. If you are in the area then drop in and say hello.
I am off to the it@cork Web 2.0 Conference today and then onto the Ring of Kerry for a three day weekend starting tomorrow. I should be able to post something about the conference this evening but will be offline from then on.
Have a great weekend all and enjoy the great Irish weather we are having.
