I know i don't post a lot, but i'd like to ask if anyone has any idea the best way to go about touring Ireland (and some of western europe)

Any and all suggestions would be welcome. Looking at flying into belfast.

Cheers

Luuuuuuuuuucky!

But I have no clue.

Visit Telford?

Pub-hopping?

Without a doubt!!

Isn't that like the third time you've done that w/ quotes?

You go, minus the spaces........ [ quote ]I like to quote [ /quote ]

That'd be fun!!!

you could always go visit Bono.

I just press the 'quote' button in the top corner and hope for the best

I heard Ireland has some nice biking

one word : lonely planet.

or for your e-convenience, http://thorntree.lonelyplanet.com/

Lonely Planet = Awesome site...thanks for the suggestion.

You do realise that Belfast is in Northern Ireland - and therefore the UK, not Eire don't you? I'd have thought you'd have more flights available to Dublin, but I don't really know. Definitely go to Dublin - it's meant to be a great city, lots of bars. And come to England - London's fun, and Oxford's gorgeous (though I'm a bit biased there). Paris is also very lovely - you can go on the eurostar or get a flight from London pretty cheap with easyjet or ryanair if you book far enough in advance. Berlin and Amsterdam are good too - again there will be cheap flights around.

And Cass - why Telford???

When are you going? If you go the end of August you should come to Holland and go to the Lowlands Festival. Amsterdam is always a great city to visit. If you need a ride give me a call

Thanks for all the suggestions guys and girls. I can always count on the OLP comunity to give honest opinions.

I know Belfast is in northern ireland,and we're trying to spend as LITTLE time there since its the marching season and well...i'm scared. We're meeting up with a friend in Dublin, and we're going to hang around there (free place to crash) before leaving him to his Thesis and us taking over Europe (in a figurative sense, of course)

Amsterdam and Paris have come up in talks, and we're going to play it by ear and see what we can find. The websites you hooked me up with are fantastic.

I'm sorry i'm not a big poster in the CM, but thanks for reaching out...sniff.

Now if OLP happen to tour a bit over there, then that......oh fuck, sorry, i kinda fell asleep there and was dreaming. Back to reality!

Actually, he's doing it right.

The only problem is this:

oh oh...now i know what i'm doing....i'm gonna be a quoting machine!!!
Thank you for the help...i was afraid to ask because "some" people like to jump on people's inability to use a message board properly...no names..

So ya, thanks again

Shut up Matt

That would be my last name...where we folk come from.

Dont' worry too much about being in Belfast. So long as you keep away from the trouble areas you should be fine. I know a few people who've lived there or gone to university there and they're still in one piece! And it's so much better than it used to be when they IRA were still active.
