Day 8: 8/7/12 Can you believe we have a week done- we can't! It's flown for us anyway!! After our interesting bus journey (Muir thought we should describe it in detail or ye would be giving out- anyway we are very open about these things! Shes feeling okay today anyway. For any strangers reading, we are not always like this!!), we got to our hostel in a taxi with no bother. We couldn't check in cos it was only 9am but we sat outside in the patio area. I started i...

Day 7: 7/7/12 Had a lazy morning this morning as we had no trip to get up for. After skyping home we got up for checkout at 11.30.

After having a shower, I stepped down from the bathroom onto the tiled floor and wallop- the two legs went from under me. My leg hit off muireann's bed and my rear end hit off the step into the bathroom. Sore dose! Two nice big purple bruises to prove it! Went for the ...

Day 4: 4/7/12 2am.......what in the name of Christ? Am I dreaming?! Is it a bird, is it a plane, is it an elephant, is it screaming.......????? It is an effin pensionable cockerel being strangled- his days are well over!! (Muireann's excellent descriptive vocabulary..... Yes she is awake!) At least two hours of cock-a-doodle-doo!
