To start day 30 of our time away we discovered our airport Travelodge in Dublin wasn't actually that close to the airport, but paid the overpriced cab fare and moved on to our first flight with budget Euro airline Ryanair.By handballing (and throwing out) some stuff from her pack Elle managed to bring down the weight from near 17kg, under the strict 15kg Ryanair limit, to just 13.7!Coincidentally Barry's swells from about 13kg to 14.7, which in hindsight was ...

Our last night in Wales was at the epic metropolis of Barry (*insert crowd cheering here*).Oddly enough, Barry received probably it's first and only publicity in Australia only the week before, as it just happens to be the birthplace of new Australian PM, razor nose Julia Gillard. Most people in the UK seem to know it more so because it is home to filming for comedy series Gavin and Stacey.Only twenty minutes or so from Cardiff, it is more like an outer suburb...

But despite having a bowling alley and pumping tunes until 1am, our hopes were dashed by lots of fli...

After buying tickets 9 months earlier, the time had finally come to attend Glastonbury Music Festival. The opening day (Wednesday) and majority of Thursday were without much music, so we took the time to explore as much as we could of the festival site, which is over 1000 acres. For those that aren't much for units of measurement, this basically meant that after walking around consistently for the majority of two days, we had ALMOST covered every different sect...
