England... Wales... Ireland
My travels took me to see places I truly thought I would never see... and I started the second of my tours in England. (again)I found it harder to skim through my photos and choose less of them to share with you about this trip, so I am going to simply start with this blog and share a little of what I saw.
I was utterly fascinated with the UK/Ireland... and plan to return as soon as it's possible. Even though, the flight is one of the worst I have had to endure.

Nice tongue, Mike. <SNORT!> I love whimsy.
isnt amazing though that aquaduct is still in use same as roads that were built by them hundreds of years ago ,yet they build roads here that don't last years or even months sometimes ,make me wonder about modern building techniques
Nice pics.,, but why did you paint the animals...
And stop complaining.. just get on the plane.
and thanks for share it in here, good to know that you had great time during your travel
As for complaining... YOU go and do that flight.
Hope You enjoyed your trip very well.
Thanks for sharing nice pictures.
I had to google hurling lately to see what the sport is all about. I was trying to explain it to my brother a few nights ago... it's a remarkable sport.
It's a shame that Stonehenge has to be packed away... imagine that on a dismal winter's evening... it would look spectacular!
It's not my homeland, I was born in Australia and I am happy to say that I am Australian... my ascendants were all from the UK.
Planning on heading for a walk tomorrow with a group and I ask a friend to join - he can't make it because of the gaelic football final.
Someone has to bring you to a match next time you're here.
I love how passionate the Irish are about anything they believe in... It's hard to explain how 'at home' I felt there.
My father told me a few days ago that he wanted to go with me in November...
I can understand the "feeling at home part". I only planned to stay for 3 month, it's been 8 years now.
Leave a couple of brochures with interesting trips to Ireland at your father's place, he might get the hint.
November is coming up quick, hope you'll have a great time again.
Ahhh yes, travel brochures. I don't think they will help with my father... he wants someone to make his decisions for him.
Yes, November is coming up very quick. I will go to Ireland for a couple of weeks, return to be sent to Melbourne for training for a week, then I have to plan my daughter's 21st. It's going to be a busy month.
Thank you for sharing great pictures
It seems you had a great journey at those places
Have a wonderful day
I'm from Aachen, it's in the West of Germany at the Belgium and Dutch border near Cologne. It's a nice area, too, at the foothills of the Eifel mountains and parts of Ireland remind me of home.
Does your dad have a birthday coming up so that you and the wife can book him on a trip some other time?
I asked my ex husband to assist me with the party...but while he says he is willing to assist, I am not relying on that. Fortunately I organise things well, so I shouldn't have too much trouble with it.
What I regret about my trip, if I am to have a small regret is that I didn't get out to the smaller villages.
My father had a birthday a month ago. But seriously K... travelling overseas with him would be awful. I take him out for dinner , or out to places locally... I could not do a trip overseas with him.
