Galway and Inishmore

Last weekend some postgrads organized a trip to Galway and Inishmore. After we had set up our tent we went straight into the Galway nightlife. The streets were full of people: Artists performing their shows, people queuing for the last Harry Potter and a lot of people walking from pub to pub.
Here you can see the happy group on one of their first drinks.


I have to admit that the Irish are impressive drinkers.
We have been out until about three in the night. When we came back, we decided to go for a swim. Unfortunately our enthusiasm was killed by the rocks on the beach piercing into our feet.
Next day we went on to Inishmore, were most of the Irish went right back to drinking.
Me and some other guys delayed drinking a bit and rented cycles. The island has wonderful beaches and also some nice cliffs. A cool thing is the fort from the iron age that is built directly on the cliffs, so that it is open to one side. I could not make really good pics of that one, but I will as soon as I get back there.

What kind of a weird tree is that there on the beach???
Here comes the solution:

Stokes on Kart

To get some distraction from work we went to drive go-kart. It was really a lot of fun and I even scored the second place.


This video shows some of the action that was going on on the track. Look at the picture above to identify which driver is me. :)

A lesson in geography with Ryanair

Probably everyone who has taken a flight with Ryanair knows those posters that depict the destination airports and their countries. One of these can of course also be found on Kerry Airport in Ireland. But there is quite one funny thing about this one and it is not the fact that there are only two destinations.

I have posted a hint in comments if you are getting tired of searching.
