from october 14th (friday) to october 24th (monday) 2011, i will go on a round trip in the republic of ireland and northern ireland. with one of the cheapest flights i've ever bought (35 eur one way) i will fly with aerlingus.com from zurich tu dublin. there i will spend a short night in bewleys airport hotel.
the next day i will drive to galway with a rental car to get my tat pimped for one day. then on sunday i will have an amazing drive to killybegs through land i have never seen before. then in killybegs i will stay for 6 nights. i will participate in a day skipper course for motor boats, which is isa (irish sailing association) approved. hopefully i will be able to do some hiking in the evenings. killybegs only has a population of 1200 people. quite a small place.
then the saturday after i will leave to derry and belfast. then 1 day dublin at the end. a 10 days ego trip with loads to see and do. excited.
