With the Sea Always On My Right: Tyrone and Donegal - Ireland Back into the Republic of Ireland again and some fantastic scenery at Slieve League and a lively night at a local pub. | With the Sea Always On My Right: Counties Waterford and Wexford - Ireland After seeing and photographing so many fairytale castles all over the country of Ireland, Sandy was finally going to stay in one of them. |
| Glendalough is full of grand mountains, trees and lakes. It retains a spiritual atmosphere, even though it is invaded daily by hordes of tourists and tour buses. | Who am I? I'm Louise Douglas. |
| Read on to learn the secret of surviving taxi rides in Rome. | Boatgirl #12: Santa Cruz de Tenerife - Canary Islands, Spain Pina coladas, Canary Islands, wild tobaggan rides - this might be the life, but there's no way Boatgirl is facing the Brit tourists. |
| It's almost worth the food poisoning to visit a place so proud of its exploring and seafaring heritage. | On the water, and luckily no one forgot their leather pants, gold jewelry, and curlers. |
| Back to the Continent, and the search for sidra is on, amidst the supposed hordes of pickpockets in Barcelona. | Louise might love England, but really, shouldn't it be just about time for the bloody boat to get going? |
| Score one for the kindness of strangers, chalk up many points for Angelina's hot chocolate, and take in the Louvre. | Contrasts: Anne Frank, city canals, and the strange yet sensible civility of the Red Light District. |
Boatgirl #5: My Overall Impressions of the City So Far - Amsterdam, Netherlands Amsterdam's a nice place, just watch out for teenagers, emergency cords on trains and hotels that don't answer the bell. | Find the source of fabulous in the Netherlands, just ignore the dorm-room smell. |
| All is different, as the world moves in and through the massive city, and Louise can't even turn around without finding something not quite the same. | So both the flight and the boat have been delayed a while, no biggie, that's what hen parties and dirty limericks are for. |
| No more worries. A daydream's coming true, and the family and friends are even making their own plans to meet up with Louise on the road. | Watching the sun rise over the temple of Angkor Wat in Cambodia made Emily realise how lucky she's been to be able to change her plans to experience this moment. |
Open Wide - Travels in India and Pakistan #17: Kicked out of India - India On Emily's last day in India she managed to offend a large cow and one alpha male monkey. | Open Wide - Travels in India and Pakistan (and Thailand & Cambodia) #16: Angkor Again - Cambodia More days of temples, sunrises and sunsets, but Emily is finding it difficult to describe what she's seeing and how she feels. |
