Learning to jugle in Galway

Hi there...
I'm in Galway now, what an incredible city. yesterday we were just too lazy and we stayed to sleep until 12:00 am... so we didn't go out of the city. But the city has a lot to offer.. We were in the city meusium but it had nothing really interesting there, it was all in English as well and I think all of this was too mach English for me...
So after the meusium we walked by the coast to Salthill. I must tell you that the coasts in israel look mach better. The sand in the shore there is dark-grey-brown with lots of dead plants. while we were walking it started raining so we had to stop for a coffee but it was worth it because after the rain there was a nice rainbow which ended right in the middle of the sea. Later we bought pizza in the supermarket and cooked it in our oven, and of course in the evening... went to an Irish pub (oh and of course, you still can't compere, the pubs in Ireland are mach better). that's it I guess... today we are going to the cliffs of moher and I must finish or I will miss the bus. Love you all!

Travelling with the Dutch

Hi there.

Still no pictures yet, you will see tomorrow.

I'm in Galway now for those who know where it is... Yesterday I've met two Dutch guys called Niels and Marvin. yesterday we went for a trip near Ross castle... I didn't take too many pictures because I was too busy talking about politics and to explain everyone why Israel is right in the conflict. when we came back we tried to book a room for today but there were no rooms... Sooo we went to Galway for the big search for the truth... Well we didn't find any truth... but after a long trip in the bus that took 5 hours we arrived in Galway. While searching for food and a place to sleep we have met Oliver. Oliver is renting rooms for tourists in cheap prices.. we wanted to bargain with him but after we saw the room we just passed the idea... They are hotel rooms... so I'm sleeping in a hotel room that costs me 20 euro per night (a night in a youth hostel costs me 16 euro and it's a room with 7 more people... So I'm sleeping in a hotel room tonight and we are going to cook Spaghetti for Dinner... tomorrow we are going to the Cliffs of Moher. Hope you are having a nice time.
See you all whenever I will see you.
Oh and we've played Poker last night but I don't have the time to write about it.
Yours

I'm cycling in the rain.. just cycling in the rain.

Hi there.
Sorry if there are no pictures yet, I'm in a library now and Its impossible to plug in the camera over here.
I think that yesterday was the wettest day in my life.
I've decided to do a bicycle trip and it was raining at the beggining of the day.
So I've thought to myself: "Am I made of butter or something? I won't melt..."
Well I didn't melt that's for sure, but I wasn't too far from it.
I've been in two wanderful places. One of them is called Ross castle. Even though I didn't Enter the castle (I was too cheap to pay the price I guess.) there is a huge nature reserve there. You just have to be there to see how beautiful this place is, I don't think even 1000 pictures will be enough to describe you the beauty of this place. After Ross castle I've cycled to Muckross abby. Of course that the moment I've got on my bike it started raining again... but at least the rain had stopped when I've got to the abby... Again the same story, beautiful nature.. ancient biuldings.. but at least the weather was dry and it was sunny and there were strong winds. You know it's preety frustrating when it's raining but when it's not the combination of the sun and the winds is a very good combination and it's making your walking much nicer. That's it... at something like 5 p.m. I've started sneezing and coughing and i think that was the sign that i have to go back to the hotel.. and of course the moment I've got on my bike it started raining again... ( a very strong rain if you are interested... I think the strongest one I had so far) and I've got to the youth hostel preety wet. That's it for yesterday I guess... today I've met Tim as planned and after I will finish writing this post we are going to look for a new advanture... Have a nice time everybody. take care.

Say hello to the professional whisky taster

Say hello to the professional whisky taster :)

Oh what a crazy day.
after writing my last page yesterday I came back to my hostel and there I've met Tim.
After a short chat he agreed to come with me to another castle (can't remember it's name) and that was the first thing we've done in the morning after breakfast is to go to that castle. Tim has a car what we thought will make things mach more convenient. Of course we weren't absolutely right, we've found out that the signs in Ireland really likes to play hide and seek, sometimes they are behind the trees, sometimes inside the bushes, sometimes they are behind you, and sometimes they are in the junction itself so you can see them only after you've made the turn. finally we've made it to the castle and it was closed until 11:00 am. Luckily I've bought yesterday's evening a pack of cards, so we could play Doorak near the castle.
The castle was nice, you know, all those stories about noble people who killed all their family and finally found themselves locked in a prison. I thought that was the time for me to leave to Killarney but Tim said that there is a whiskey distillery nearby... and you know me, will I say no to whisky?
So we went there and you can see the pictures. At the end of the tour the instructor asked for a volunteer, and like I learned in the army... you know the answer ;)
The instructor asked us to taste 5 types of different whisky and to say which is the best.. nice test I must say :) so after drinking a lot of whisky I've got a note of a professional whisky taster :) So Schoona, now I'm a professional whisky taster.
After the whisky distilleries we decided to go to an old military castle, this was actually a modern castle which was built to defend the Irish port on the 16th century. there I had the time to tell all my stories on the art of war (Tim was very interested). there was a great view from the castle and when i went to the guarding post I felt like I'm in the top of the world, there was a sunny weather and a very powerful wind there and no matter how mach I will write I will never be able to describe the feeling up there (but at least you've got some pictures of the place)... mmm I guess that's it, after that I've said goodbye to Tim and took the bus to Killarney with a promise that i will meet him in two days. that's it for now... I'm now in Killarney and my hostel is 8 km far from me and I have no clue how i'm going to get there, but you know me, I'll be alright :)
have a nice time where ever you are, and Melany I'm coming back at the 26... prepare the pubs ;)
See ya all Love you and I know my english is bad, but the internet here is too expensive for grammer check.

Travelling alone

Hi there!

First of all I want to wish happy birthday to my father Uri!
Happy birthday Dad! have a nice time see you on the 30 of August
So how's there in Israel guys?
still hot?
I've started travelling alone since yesterday... It is so different...
It is a bit frightening at the start... because you don't know what to do and you are very anxious to do something. So I was a bit in shock when I've arrived to the youth hostel after a while I became relaxed...I've met a young French girl in the youth hostel this morning and we've decided to go to Blarney castle... She taught me a bit of French and took most of the pictures. It was very hard to communicate with her because she knew only a few words in English. The place is very nice, except the castle there is a great nature reserve there and we were walking there for hours. Hmmm I guess that's it, we just came back from the castle now She went back to to hostel and I'm here writing to you... I guess I will never see her again... oh well there are lots of other nice people in the world. Love you all!
