There had been rumours that this year would be better than the previous two, and with the addition of intros, music and a few words from George Bush it was. Once again, but very deservedly, Twenty Major won the award for best blog, coinciding with the recent release of his book the two prizes go [...]

We awoke early on saturday morning, in true tourist style. I took my first photograph of the day by 9.20am, of Andy eating his very tasty croissant in a small café down by the quay. After breakfast we began taking photos for real. Heading to Temple Bar, Grafton Street and St. Stephen’s Green. Walking really [...]

It’s 2am and I’m on Andy‘s lovely laptop in the hostel. Having spent almost 4hrs on the bus from Belfast we were pretty tired and in desperate need of restroom facilities, so grateful of the fact that we had to get a separate bus from the airport to the city centre. Once we arrived we [...]

I’m fed up with all the crap maps of the Alexander Hotel that have been doing the rounds. Especially the official one and I’m not sure whats going on here. Has no one heard of Google? For those who have Google Earth (for those who don’t – get it) download a placemarker which will guide [...]
