St. Patrick’s day parade in Cork 2012
The weather was remarkably good this morning. The sun was shining, loads of people went out on the streets dressed in green, there were children eveywhere waving Irish flags, farmer’s market was up and running on Grand parade. I just love St.Patrick’s day! [...]-
Evening view over Paris from the Eiffel Tower
The timing was pretty extreme, we decided to climb the Eiffel tower the same day we arrived to Paris, and of course we didn’t buy the tickets in advance, so we almost missed a very beautiful sunset. But we made it! [...] -
Halloween in Cork: street fashion
Last night I took my camera for a walk to take pictures of the Halloween costumes and people partying around. There were so many crazy awesome costumes and wild makeups! I never realized that on Halloween streets of Cork turn into one huge party. [...] -
Germany – Czech Republic car trip 2011
That was an incredible road trip. We got a car in Munich, went to Prague for 2 days, returned to Germany and drove round for 4 days, stayed in small hotels and tried local food on the way. We ended up in Prien am Chiemsee in the end. Read more for all posts and photos from that trip. [...] -
Prague from the Petřín Lookout Tower
Petřín Tower is very compact, and it’s pretty easy to take the stairs to the top and back . If the weather is clear you can see the whole Prague underneath. And the view is definitely worth it. Petřín Tower is famous for it’s resemblance with the Eiffel Tower, but it definitely has it's own character. [...] -
Aran Islands
This time we spent 3 days on Inis Mór in Kilmurvey b&b, had the best Irish stew every day. Also walked to Dún Aonghasa in the evening and caught a beautiful sunset. There was no one on the cliffs in that time, the wind was strong and the waves were high as never. [...] -
Abandoned Cork
If you go up the Barrack street in direction of the Bandon road you will find yourself in the area of empty shops, closed bars, abandoned takeaways. You can see, that some time ago this area was full of life. [...] -
Immigration paperwork in Ireland
Since I'm a Russian citizen I need a whole bunch of documents to stay and work in Ireland. I have to renew some of them every year, and I just finished that interesting process for this year, so I am ready to describe it. [...] Subscribe to blog updates!

Five Euro Food - food and adventures
Dungarvan, 2011
Dungarvan (Dún Garbháin) is a small town on the south coast of Ireland. I really enjoy exploring the area along the coast, you can always find some interesting local food, traditional pubs with wooden floors (and walls), you can watch sailors fixing their gear, and you will see in action all kinds of boats made for the family trips or a fishing business. And of course this smell of ocean in the air – a mix of fish and sea grass. You can’t really have it in the city.
The quay we saw when we arrived, we took a Buseireann bus, it stops not far away from the town center.

On the wall you can see the toucan, one of the symbols of Guinness

Closer view of the harbor, you can see different boats parked (?) all together

I really liked the second floor apartment here. Reminds me a bit of a City Square in Cork, but this one looks more traditional to me because of how the green door is decorated.

The weather was not sunny, but luckily not much rain that day

I liked that room in between the two buildings. Also on this picture you can see how hard it is to fix the horizon on the photo – buildings are not standing straight, the ground is a hill, and the road sign is totally bent

Those are the decorations in the sports-bar

The quay again. On each of the metal things (?) there is a date which could mean the year when it was built. Correct me if I’m wrong )

The last view on the harbor. You can see how the boats are secured – there is a door with a metal net and a simple numeric keyboard to enter your entrance code. If you don’t know the code it’s quiet hard to get to the boats since the door secures the only bridge. I wonder if it’s easy to just jump on it )
