Might elaborate further at some later stage when in Sweden, and computer settings are not all in russian... But just for an update; rented car. Travelled out of Galway south to Dingle, then east to Kilkenny and back to Dublin today - flying out to Sweden tomorrow - HURRAH!! Can't wait to eat the food. Seeing family and friends will also be nice.
But have long list of food that want, including yogurt, fil, bread, chocolate, lollies, coffee, and so on.
Kilkenny was really good, went out to pub at night and everyone was singing and reading poems; all so happy and not cold and suspicious of others as people would be at pub in Sweden. There really is a great pride within people here to be Irish, at the same time a real sadness, with everyone remembering the famine like was yesterday.
The best part was still seeing Nolita in Galway and going out for 17 pints. Had a look at photos the other night - we look SO pissed. Pictures to come of course.
Whole story of CAR is, well, long. Bloody salesman at Budget in Galway tried to rip us off, but we got much cheaper price on internet (73 for 3 days instead to 76 per day!) and his explanation was "ah well you know... the INTERNET..." Hmm. We know now. Then he proceeded to say that having an automatic would be 50 euros per day "for the upgrade," so we went with the manual... Suffice to say I am very grateful at this moment to still be here; able to complain about the weather when there are far worse things indeed.
