To The Settlement of the Ford of the Reed Hurdles

We spent some days visiting Kay. We even convinced her that going to law school would be no better than joining a band of crazy pervs for a virtual tour around the world. She believed us. Maybe it was that funny powder that Pabloh put in her drink. Who knows. The important thing is, she joined us.

So, we needed to go back to London. Another uneventful ride until right before landing. At that moment, I took a little detour and we landed at Rochester Field, a small airport. From there, it was a 15km drive until we reached Sittingbourne.



And who was there? Shane! Yeah, I couldn't resist. After all, we all want to enjoy the match once Cav join us at Sydney, don't we? No? Sorry.
He seemed a little overwhelmed when he saw the whole gang. But it took just a couple of minutes of goofy talk courtesy of Murray, Pabloh and Eric to make him feel welcome.

Ok, fast forward a few days. We all went crazy around London. Museums, Pubs, bookstores, palaces, bridges, monuments...you know the drill.

Now we are on board of our latest acquisition: a Bombardier CRJ-700 at Gatwick Airport, a small (compared to the A380 monster) plane ideal for our trip to Ireland.

London airports have lots of traffic. We were told to queue behind a 747, which we did. Wouldn't dare to mess with those giants.

Touchdown at Dublin Airport
Can you tell this is Ireland?
Here we meet with Mikathegreat2 (from now on, just "Mika") the youngest member. So you better behave back there!!! Geez...

Kay and Mika seem to go along well. We get to see some famous landmarks of Dublin.

The Four Courts:
Irishtown Stadium and the monstrous chimneys of the Poolbeg Power Station:


Part of Dublin Castle (The Chapel Royal), The Trinity College and those buildings at the back are the George's Quay Plaza. The old building across the river is the Customs Building.

Croke Park Stadium, the biggest stadium in Ireland:

Well, enough for today! See you soon!
