Budapest and back

Last Friday, Mick and I took off to Budapest, Hungary for 5 days. My previous memories of the city weren't that great, however they were also 7 years old. My new memories are amazing. We basically spent the entire holiday walking, up hills, over rivers, through zoos and parks, only stopping occasionally for food and beer. I highly suggest Budapest to anyone planning to travel to Europe.

A few pictures for you:

The fun's not over with yet, tomorrow we're heading off for a 3 day camping weekend near Galway! I've just finished packing and now I've to do my anti-rain dance.

It's good to be home

While America was fun, it sure is good to be back home; my own bed, clothes to choose from, seeing mick, overcooked veggies, the rain...okay maybe not. The weather this last weekend, however, been amazing! In fact this last weekend was one of the best weekends I can remember in some time (perhaps even ever!). Friday, mick and i headed out to malahide to have drinks with some friends, stayed up there and nursed hangovers saturday (okay, maybe that part wasn't the greatest).

Sunday, we were sun-struck and hopped on the bike and headed up north to Skerries and Rush really beautiful coast towns. We stopped along the way to feed swans, walk on overgrown tracks and lay in the grass by the sea. On our way back we stopped off for a bbq at mick's friends. Only to come back to my house to join in on what remained of a house party.

We took advantage of the bank holiday monday and headed south this time to hike up Bray Head. We were almost halted by the fog but we pushed on and once up the mountain and through the clouds we had an amazing view of a fog framed Dublin. We still had bbq on the mind, so we headed back to mine and jess joined us grilling at my house (excellent burgers!).

That's pretty much it, I'm afraid if I say summer is here, it will go away. So I won't say it. Here are a few photo's from mick's fancypants camera:
