travelling to Ireland in my mind..

November 23, 2007

Since I am basically.. well.. not really stuck here in the office doing my sometimes-boring job, I usually daydream of packing my bags and going to places I've never been to. — In other words, nagsspace-out ang lola mo at may sarili syang mundo!! Teehee!!!

I'd love to go to Ireland and kiss the Blarney Stone for luck. Maybe I'll get a decent boyfriend that way. Hahahah. But it's OK.. I believe Chris and I are working through our issues with our relationship.. But I digress.. Let me talk about the Ireland in my dreamscape..

I am walking along Dublin's streets and I see a lot of things.. interesting places to visit.. like the Guinness Storehouse. Free drinks from the highest bar in Ireland!! Woohoo!!! And then there's the Kilmainham Gaol though I seriously doubt I want to visit it.. Creepy if you ask me.. And here's the real deal.. a Dublin Castle!! Fairy tale princess ako!!! And you can check out the list of dublin hotels where I'll be staying.

Now, let's fly to Cardiff! Cardiff is special in its own way. There's another castle, Cardiff castle, of course! Naman!!! And then the Millenium Stadium, I would assume was made for the millenium.. hehehe.. And one of the best examples of Irish Catholic faith, the Llandaff Cathedral. And I'd be staying at one of the cardiff hotels (alangan naman matulog ako sa daan di ba?)

Newcastle here I come!!! Ireland tours must have stopovers at Newcastle. I have to book in advance at one of those newcastle hotels . Let me just pass by St. James Park, picture-picture with the football thingies.. hahaha.. thingies ba?  And I will not forget The Quayside.. food for my artist's soul. Maybe I could have my portrait made there on my next visit.. I want it done in the classical style. And last stop: Bridges. Plenty of bridges. I wonder how they done it? Hmm..

And last on my agenda was Leeds. I get to see the Royal Armouries Museum.. Fairy tale princess again!! Wootwoot!! And Temple Newsam where the murdered husband of Mary, Queen of Scots used to reside. Did not encounter any ghosts though.. And NO, I did not go to the Thackray Medical Museum. Just the decription of it is enough to give me the willies… And where are the leeds hotels ?

Now.. back to work!!
