Mind your head

 “Seachain do cheann - Mind your head” - is written on the warning signs on many busses in Ireland. 

Maybe the answer to how best to travel at my age is to go with a small group, or to be able to rent a car...or to travel for longer, like a year, by public transport! 

I am trying to mind my head since no one else is but at times I feel bereft and lonely and other times I feel so very lucky to be able to do this traveling, finally taking this trip of a lifetime, both in terms of my health and my finances.

Today I spent almost the whole day in buses and I just want to be on foot! 9-10 am bus to Galway; 11-1:30 bus to Limerick; 2:30-5:30 bus to Waterford. I did have almost an hour in Limerick; I got excited when I saw the Frank McCourt Museum only to learn it has been closed for 3 years. So I went to the Art Museum!





The Museum used to be a Carnegie library! Even more interesting is that the Limerick has the most Carnegie libraries of anywhere!

Did anyone else assume Andrew Carnegie was American? He was born and lived in Scotland until the age of 13.

I think a fun tour would be to see all the Irish Carnegie libraries!

    You've done so much and more to go and see! It's a great trip and all the emotions are part of it.

    “9-10 am bus to Galway; 11-1:30 bus to Limerick; 2:30-5:30 bus to Waterford. “ wow! So much time on the bus. You’ve got stamina! I like your mind your head metaphor for the feelings of travel.

Day 2 of hiking trip

Image
Today we went on a long hike in the ancient woods of Glen Finglas with views of Loch Venacher. We expected rain so all of wore rain pants but the rain didn't come until late afternoon.  We walked for less than an hour in Callandar. I bought hand cream at a pharmacy and tea at a café.  Then we walked to Achray Farm serving homemade ice cream and coffee. There were many goats on this woman's farm but only one let us get close to her. I had lavender & chocolate ice cream. The owner is a retired clinical psychologist! We then went to Doune Castle,  made famous by Outlander and Monty Python,  but we were disappointed to hear they were closed for the day. We walked around the castle and the class clown knocked on the main door and almost fell down when a workman came out.  Group pic without Pauline and almost without me: Me, Gaelle, Stephanie (U.S.), Tess (Australia), Alistair (England), Stefan (Netherlands), Tate (Tess' brother, Australia)

First impressions

Image
I am here in Edinburgh as of an hour ago but I am exhausted,  having hardly slept in my aisle seat.  First impressions of this busy neighborhood near Sue from 5W: it's windy, cloudy, people are pretty friendly, don't order Mexican food (huevos rancheros at Heathrow was weird, with raw red onion), the Airlink was easy and luggage racks plentiful (versus our light rail that has space for 2 suitcases). There was a plastic container with cherry pits but generally I haven't seen much litter or graffiti after my half hour bus ride! I was worried because I hadn't made proper arrangements with Sue but then she emailed me (and hadn't seen my text nor email a half hour before I got hers!). I was even looking at cheap hotels. My eyes hurt and I'm wearing my glasses.

Money, money, money!

My head is spinning at how expensive everything is in Scotland (okay, I'm not there yet and buses and museums will probably be very cheap)! A private room in a "youth" hostel is $75/night! A hotel room is costing me $161 to $175! Divided by 2 people is not bad but for a solo traveler, it is very costly indeed.  Maybe I won't be eating out more than once every two or three days! A scone and tea for dinner? But it's not just me experiencing the solo traveler syndrome!
