Paging, the wandering chimps
Thursday, 8 May 2008


OK, so we have really fallen off the wagon in terms of keeping this blog updated. So what has been happening you say? Well, in short, quite a bit.

Since the last post, Christmas and New Years has come and gone. Both good affairs, with Christmas here in Dublin with a friends, then New Years in London. We also managed to sneak a peek at Cardiff on the way over to London.

So what else has been happening? My brother came over at the end of January for a look at this side of the world. We hired a car for a week and drove around the emerald isle. Needless to say, there are some pretty impressive castles and cliffs to be seen, and beer to be drunk. Good times indeed.

We have also: dressed like chavs (facebook ID required) and attended a chav party; locked in a date to attend electric picnic; had a St Pats day in Dublin - messy; taken time to explore Dublin

Our latest excursion was the weekend just gone, where Em and I headed to Spain for hens and stag parties respectively. Em and the girls headed to Valencia for Kat's hen party, whilst the myself and the lads headed to Barcelona to give Ben a send off. More on this will follow in the next post.

Well, for now, I think that is it. The only other update is that we are leaving Ireland at the end of this month. We are heading home for a few weddings, then will look to relocate ourselves to the UK. Seeing that we are not in a hurry to resume desk jobs, we are going to treat ourselves to some sun and have a little sailing break around Croatia, and then catch up with friends in Crete.

The countdown to departure is on...again...

Dublin me hearties
Saturday, 7 July 2007


After a six weeks of travel, it was time to come back to reality. Money was running out and we knew we needed to seek some work. It wasn't going to be all bad though as we would meet up with the likes of Mel and Paxie, and of course the Irish summer. Ha! What a joke. It's rained every day we've been here! Our apologies to those whom we ribbed with winter jokes prior to our departure. Nonetheless, can't let a bit of rain spoil the party - especially coming from Wellers and all.

Dublin is much like home and the people are great. After being camped up on the living room floor at our friend Mel's place for a few weeks, we've moved into our own apartment, and it's sooo good not to be living out of a backpack anymore.

We've meet some new people through our friends over here, and attended a pirate party in aide of one of our friends leaving Dublin - not because of us. Everyone dressed up and we really did make a pretty convincing group of pirates.

Em found work after a week which is good, and means there is a cash flow again. There are plans to explore Dublin in it's entirety, along wth the rest of Ireland, once we are fully settled and are both in work.

We are off to London on the 20th for Toast NZ, and we will be catching up with some expats, kiwi music, good ole fashioned kiwi tucker, and of course, those nice beverages. It should be a fun weekend. We'll keep you posted :)
