30.06.07 - 01.07.07 Portsmouth & Isle of Wight

It was far from a perfect outing. Surprisingly, I think I enjoyed the trip. :-) I guess, a good trip is not about what I get to do/see; It's how to make the best out of the trip matters.

London Tube of 1930s. And it's still working & functioning well


Hovercraft
(I missed it, cos I can't find its port....until I bought ferry tickets)

Traditional English Breakfast

Henry VIII - The man that changed England

I don't usually blog about hostels, because I believe most hostels are welcoming, friendly & warm. It's a great place to meet other travelers & make friends. That's the backpackers spirit. Well, until I came across this INTERESTING BACKPACKER hostels at Portsmouth. Just look at the house rules!!!

On top of that the staff was really unfriendly & rude. She even interogateD me on what am I doing in England! No, she was not trying to start a friendly chat, she was INTEROGATING me. I felt like slapping her. And they even installed CCTV all around the hostel. In case someone left rubbish in the lounge, someone will come knocking on your door and get you to pick it up.

Wonder who on earth running this hostel? Clue, look at this interesting notice

09.06.07 - 11.06.07 Dublin



The Walker

The guy who fought bitterly to keep women out of the college. Now being remembered by setting up a statue for him, directly facing the main entrance of the college. To witness thousands or millions of women who came & graduated from the college. Ha! Ha!


The ruin, and the "specific" sign. I wonder if I could crawl into it.
The Green


Street Art


Famous Temple Bar, a functioning bar which serves as a landmark as well. And not forget to mention the rip-off prices they put on the menu! The one on the right that looks like a dungeon is the oldest pub in Ireland. And finally the guy in black, the infamous self-appointed fashion police a.k.a. "Bouncers"

Colours of Dublin Castle

What's wrong with this Figure of Justice? She's turning her back on the city;She is not blindfolded, and worst...her scales tilt over when it rained! (that was, until they fixed it by drilling holes on the scales. Sort of)

Tower in Dublin Castle

Dryer problem? No worries in Dublin
