On July seventh we arrived in Dublin, Ireland (again). For the first three days there we just rested and did things like seeing the movie "The Incredible Hulk", shopping and going to teatime. One day we even went and took a look at the hotel owned by Bono (the U2 singer). The reason we were resting so much was because we knew that soon we were going on a one-week bike and hike tour. After the three days, we got a car and drove to Waterford where we ha...

I could see out side the train and it would have been pitch black under the tun...

The Allied troops who fought on D-day were mainly teenagers and young peopl...

We just left Paris so, let me tell you about our experience, and maybe inspire you into wanting go to Paris… We took a train from our previous location (Amsterdam) and arrived in Paris.
