EuroTRIP 2008

Well, tomorrow evening I am jetting off to begin a three-week journey in Ireland, Spain and who knows where else, camping out under the stars as well as sleeping on trains and coaches. I will still be in touch, so please PM me if you're nearby any of these places and we can hang out!

July itinerary:
8-10 Dublin, Ireland
11-13 Kildare, Ireland
14 Dublin, Ireland
15-20 Benicassim, Spain
21-23 Barcelona, Spain
24-31 Birmingham, England to start with, then possibly down to London and Paris also (erm, figuring that out when I get to it/improvising should I run out of money)...

Birmingham? Birmingham! Of all the English cities in the land, you picked Birmingham! There must be a concert on at the NEC (National Exhibition Centre).

Then possibly London! Harumph indeed, Axe.

Nothing at all wrong with Birmingham Boab..they do say that Brummys (native of Birmingham) are actually Londoners with their brains bashed out. In the words of fixxy " its a true story".

Re: EuroTRIP 2008

Birmingham is blessed with the endowment of an international airport servicing exceedingly cheap flights to the middle of England, which suits my "just another whistle stop" purposes just fine.

Dublin has been excellent so far!

Hadn't thought of that, actually. I'll add it to the list.

Temple Bar is unequivocally the tits. Literally!

Re: EuroTRIP 2008

Sadly it didn't work out, but I had a cracking trip nonetheless! I love the UK and will be back in the future, so we should all get together then... perhaps with more advance planning on my part.
