I decided to have a day all to myself in Galway, to do a bit of shopping, looking around and enjoying life in general. Even if the weather was overcast it was a warm day and very good shopping weather. I clearly was not the only one who had come up with this idea, because the streets… Continue reading Easter in Ireland Part 3: Galway

Easter in Ireland part 2: Tuam and Oranmore
Our base for my stay in Ireland was a nice house in Tuam where the back yard neighbours where sheep and their little lambs. We had a lot of good weather and I got to spend some time in the sunshine or in the sun room to read and relax only disturbed by the little… Continue reading Easter in Ireland part 2: Tuam and Oranmore
Easter in Ireland Part 1
As those of you who read my blog will know I spent my Easter holiday in Ireland this year. On our way down we got quite a bit delayed due to really bad weather in Central Europe. But we finally made it to Dublin, in the middle of the night and immediately collapsed on our… Continue reading Easter in Ireland Part 1
Ireland here I come!
The day is finally here and it’s time for me to go on vacation! The last time I was this much in need of a holiday was when I’d just delivered my Masters thesis. Back then I was going for a two week trip to Thailand. This time I’m not going that far away and… Continue reading Ireland here I come!

I found it to be a nice little place, but a little like a religious supermarked with all the little shops where you could buy containers to bring water from… Continue reading Autumn in Ireland part 4: Knock and County Mayo
Autumn in Ireland part 3: Headford
During the stay in Ireland I spent a night at a friend’s house in the village/town of Headford. When we arrived it was quite dark and we were unable to see much of the surroundings. What you did notice was the fact that it was very rural. At night we went for a pint in… Continue reading Autumn in Ireland part 3: Headford
Autumn in Ireland part 2: Tuam
Tuam has a great park right next to the leisure centre. It’s very nice looking and has good routes for walking. When I was over now the park had just started to get its autumnal colours and was truly a sight to see. Tuam might not be a shopper’s paradise. but it has quite a… Continue reading Autumn in Ireland part 2: Tuam
Autumn in Ireland part 1
I finally got back from my trip to Ireland. When I say finally I don’t mean it in the sense that I did not enjoy my vacation, but it lasted a bit longer than intended. We got stranded in Frankfurt due to a delayed flight from Dublin. Had to spend a night in an airport… Continue reading Autumn in Ireland part 1

It has been a busy week and having looked at my calendar October looks to be a very busy month. This… Continue reading Autumn is here
