Ireland WalkAbout: Dublin - Yikes!
http://ireland-walkabout.blogspot.com/2006/04/dublin-yikes.html
Sunday, April 30, 2006. Belfast Opera (going to Dublin Opera tonite). Made it to London OK. The ears didn't like the descent into St John's or London, but the going to 30,000 feet and back a few times seemed to clear out the canals pretty good. Ireland is chock full of Eastern European and especially Polish people. Gotta go. Off to the theatre this evening, and onto Wicklow Way hike tomorrow morning. April 30, 2006 12:07 PM. Bruce or Nancy Duffy. Ditto on the pic! Want a review of Cinderella, eh! You're ...

Ireland WalkAbout: Glendalough - Heaven
http://ireland-walkabout.blogspot.com/2006/05/glendalough-heaven.html
Thursday, May 04, 2006. Upper Lake at Glendalough (not me, a picture I scammed, no access for camera). The Opera in Dublin was wonderful. The theatre was gorgeous, the voices strong and the staging very imaginative. Would see it again in a heartbeat. As Anne from Galway tells me, to enjoy Ireland, you can't be a tourist, you just have to 'be'. After 80 kms of walking, I'm still a tourist, but a slow one. Today, I'm stepping off the trail to get a bus to Waterford, spend a day, then on to Ring of Kerry fo...

Ireland WalkAbout: I've seen a lot of Dung
http://ireland-walkabout.blogspot.com/2006/05/ive-seen-lot-of-dung.html
Thursday, May 11, 2006. I've seen a lot of Dung. Killarney Races.definitely a trip highlight. When you tramp about Ireland for a few weeks and walk in an out of little towns and villages, you are going to cross a lot of little farms and deal with sheep, cows, goats, horses and dogs. I have stepped in a lot of dung the past week. Wednesday was the best hike day of the trip from Sneme to Waterville (and back on the bus line! T-shirt weather, big, high views and cool/warm spring air. A stunning day and ...

Saturday, October 9, 2010. Winter approaches.what should I do? I had a great summer, a mix of sports, working on my house 10-12 hours a week and keeping my travel kitty intact.

What is the proper balance? So, Ecuador it is. Actually, the whole trip is fly to New York to visit daughter...

Ecuador Esplanade: Canoa, transportation, Quilitoa and Quechuas
http://ecuadoresplanade.blogspot.com/2010/11/canoa-transportation-quilitoa-and.html
Monday, November 22, 2010. Canoa, transportation, Quilitoa and Quechuas. I arrived at in a hailstorm. Lodging was a local Quechua family hostal, meals in the big family room, with actual heat (small wood stove). No hot anything else for me for 3 days. Did a big 1/2 day hike around the crater, gasping for air at this elevation, walk for 20 breathes, wait for at least 20 more. November 23, 2010 at 6:06 AM. Sounds/looks like you are having a grand time.bit more relaxed than India? Did you swim in the lake?

Ecuador Esplanade: Galapagos
http://ecuadoresplanade.blogspot.com/2010/12/galapagos.html
Thursday, December 2, 2010. What can I say.you fly all the way to Ecuador, you sort of have to go to the Galapagos. I was quite lucky to land a cheap bed on a little ¿16 people? Cruise boat. I had 3 points in my favor, could go in any available opening over a month, only wanted 4 days and was brought to the GAP office by Phil, who works in Torontoçs main office as was down pumping up the sales staff. And croo were fabulous, very friendly and full of good humor. December 2, 2010 at 9:58 AM. Hi, Bruce,.

Ecuador Esplanade: November 2010
http://ecuadoresplanade.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 27, 2010. Banos, amazing Banos. Decided to cut the Quilitoa Loop short, as it left me time to visit Banos, the playground of Ecuador. What a gorgeous little town, even if as suffers life under an active volcano (Tungurahua). The town is full of ethnic restaurants (I ate Thai, Arabic and Italian while I was there), at minimum 100 hostals and enough action sport shops to fill a big city. Yesterday was a quiet day with some shopping, a nice lunch with Artesia from Thailand and a little hi...

Ecuador Esplanade: Ecuador Out!
http://ecuadoresplanade.blogspot.com/2010/12/ecuador-out.html
Friday, December 10, 2010. Like it says in the song: All the money I had is gone. Now we are serious. I have spent every thin dime I could lay my hands on.and then some.the decision to go to Galapagos has put me a few $ $ in the hole. I can see why everyone loves to travel for months in South America. I could easily spend another month in Ecuador, visit all new places and have just as great a time. I didn't get to the Amazon side of the Andes.but I will. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
