So. I'm off on holiday. My travel wallet is fat and about to slim as i discard tickets. I always forget something and this time it's annoying. I have forgotten:
- my wash bag!!
- my spare 2gig memory card for camera
- my SIGG water bottle.
This is what happens when you pack at the last minute Gah. So that'll cost me some Euros to fix. I'm on a train to Chester as I write this. A tilting Virgin Super Voyager. From there I'll get an Arriva Wales train to the coast at HolyHead for the 12:15 fast ferry to Dublin.
I don't know how much time I'll have in Dublin. I have a train to catch at 15:25 for Limerick where I'll stay with my old School mate Ross for two nights. He's planned that we'll try to climb a hill in County Clare called Molyussa to see some spectacular views of the nearby lake. Sounds good to me (as our lamentable Eurovision entry sang!). It is wonderful weather though.
Speaking of which; the weather forcast for my destinations in the Bernese-Oberland in Switzerland and Chamonix-Mont Blanc in France have turned from rain to sun. Which is a blessed relief - no point climbing cloudy mountains. They are also showing around 20 degrees centigrade. So before I left, I ditched a few t-shirts to lighten the load.
Next blog from Ireland! Goodbye England!
