Ireland

That coach stopped last week:
After a coach trip from London to Holyhead, and then a ferry trip - we arrived in Dun Laoghaire, expecting a coach to our accommodation at the University - However after looking around for it and failing to find it, I asked at the tourist information desk - to be told that the coach stopped running last week! We had to take a local bus - and most embarrassingly ask the bus driver to tell us when we had got to the stop we wanted!

I've visited Ireland many times in my youth - but my most memorable trip was with a bunch of University pals. We found a really cheap deal for a week in Dublin. Most of the time was spent in pubs drinking, but I did manage to get the group to visit the Guinness brewery and Irish Whiskey corner. Both places gave away free samples - so it didn't take much persuasion!
