coming trip to ireland/northern ireland

date: 12 Mar - 18 Mar 2008

destination: ireland/northern ireland

highlights: st.patrick's festival

ok finally, after planning for the entire of 2007, i've gottan my tickets to dublin! recap: wanted to go there after my exams in portugal last march, but i found out about the festival only 2 weeks before the actual event, and that all the available accommodation werefully booked out... well, at the cheap/reasonable places are all booked out...

so, as i mentioned, i (err... yup, it's me alone) have about 6 days in ireland, and there are so many interesting places to go to...

12th - will reach dublin at 5pm, will use the remaining time to check out the nightlife in dublin...

13th - day drip to belfast (point 2 on the map above), which is the capital of northern ireland... just to explain the difference between ireland and northern ireland... ireland is a country by itself, whereas northern ireland is part of the united kingdom... to continue, will leave dublin early in the morning, and get to belfast at around 0930 and will leave belfast at 2000... so that leaves me with around 10 hours... besides, i was recommended this place: the giant causeway (point 1 on the map)... check the pics out!

14th - the commencement of st.pat's festival in dublin!!!!!!! but that day itself, i have plans to go to nearby Wicklow, which is said to be one of the more scenic places in ireland... after which, i will meet up with some malaysian/singaporean friends whom i met in spain a year ago... will be spending the next 3 nights at their place...

15th to 17th - st pat...st pat...st pat...
