I’m back! It has been a while but I’ve been very busy gaining cash & kilo’s in Ireland. Those last ones weren’t exactly necessary but it’s one of the side-effects of Guinness. Anyway, they might be of some use keeping me warm… right? I had the time to put together a little video of my previous…
Seven-and-a-half years ago a backpacker-tour came through a hostel in Derry, Northern Ireland. This is not a very unusual occurrence. Thing is Gerry, Isabel and Shirley were on this very tour.
