the cliffs of morher were nice. very cliffy. the bus ride there was awful; i had never felt so sick in my life. then we got the bus back, and i felt even sicker! awesome! damn those cute little country roads winding down ridiculously steep and rocky paths. we got some awesome photos of the cliffs (check flickr). we did the legal thing for a while, but then we did what everyone else was doing and climbed over the fence to get better photos. oops!
we met some crazy dutch guys at the hostel. they were hilarious! they taught us to play a card game called 'shit head', and every time we asked the rules they replied "to not be the shit head!"
yeah they were pretty hilarious. dutch people sound a mix between south african, english, irish and chinese when they speak english. i mean that in not an insulting way, its actually quite a nice mix. the game is really cool that they taught us, and then we made some new friends when they left and taught it to them!
the cliffs of moher were super cool. but also super scary... we went past this sign that said do not go past (following everyone else of course) and found ourselves on a tiny path winding along the edge of the cliff. the edge of the cliff i'd say was about a meter away. no more. there were people lazing about on the edge of the cliff, with their feet almost hanging off. and these were serious cliffs. triple the gap in sydney for sure. so i had this huge urge to scream at these people to move away from the edge because i was actually feeling sick that they'd fall! but then i thought this might startle them, causing them to fall, so i kept quiet. one guy even climbed out onto a ledge overhanging the cliff to get a good photo. i had an instant vision of the road-runner cartoons, you know when a corner of the cliff suddenly falls off when kyote is on it? yep, i was pretty terrified.
last night we went to a jazz bar which was awesome. it was the swing dancing night, and we actually saw a leprechaun.... or mabey it was a little guy...who was wearing rediculous sparkling shoes...BAAHAHAHAHAHAH
it was awesome to finally see some jazz, and all the locals were very welcoming! we're in cork now... and our internet is running out!
adios!

Shit..........I just wrote a whole load of stuff on your blog and hit something (don't know what) and lost it all.....Aaaaaah Don't you hate that.
So here goes again......now what did I say. Oh yes
Firstly this will be just a quick note now, cause Amazing Race starts in a couple of minutes (bit like you guys)
I was going to post a comment last week, but by the time I'd caught up on all your photos I was wacked!!! Love your blog it's hilarious and very informative. It inspire me and your Mum(Jess) to FINALLY book our flight to England. Now all we have to do is work out all the nitty grittys (Ange we need you!!!)
Went and saw Michael Buble (your fav Jess!!!) last night, he was fantastic. The support act was Natural 7 (have you heard of them?) They are 7 black American guys who don't have any instruments, but use their voices to make the sounds. Unbelievable!!!! They got a standing ovation when they had finished. Not bad for a support act.
Well gotta go Amazing Race is just about to start.
Take care.
Love you both
