As we got off the coach at St Pancras we realised that we still had 2 hours to wait for the eurostar. This is a very long time in a horrible train station When we finally went to go checkin we found out that the train was delayed and that we woud have to wait another hour in a cramped room When we finally got onto the train it was horrible. After a two and a half hour journey we got to Pari

Thursday October 7 Happy 80th Birthday to my Dad This morning we were up early to catch a tour bus to the ferry and on to the Aran Island of Inishmore. We walked to the city centre and made a quick stop to buy a plugin adapter for our laptop. The clerk in the store was very helpful but I couldn’t understand a word he saidseemed mostly like mumbling and reminded me of a character in a mov
