The first real day the girls had in London we got up relatively early headed off to Broadway market to do some shopping for the dinners during the week. After selecting the best produce that we could, and proving to the girls there was at least one decent place in London for coffee we headed off to Camden with Cam and Krizzo. Camden is always going to be one of my favourite places, and given that the girls ended up going there another few times, I'd say they fell...

DEC 13 - DUBLIN We somehow make it off the plane and decide on hiring a car. I'd like to say that we were not at all swayed in our decision by which counter had the most attractive staff… I really would like to say that… Hahaha With our new trusty (HOT) Honda Civic we head off into town where we promptly get lost in our quest for Dame St. See, Ireland has this amazing penchant for having 3 names for the exact same street, even when the street is 500m long...

I have to say that over my months of travelling there is one place which I KNEW was going to cost me a small fortune… and that it did… A small part of my heart (the part that finds shopping a very acceptable and cathartic hobby!) will always live in NYC particularly around sale time… When Esta first suggested to me that I consider going there for Thanksgiving I thought it would be a lovely way to experience a new part of New York and the culture ...
