Sweet memories
Today I've uploaded some pictures about my American adventure on this blog. Problems are still the same: scanning from slides the quality results not so good and colors are sometimes fake. But I guess they're able to enrich my travel diary while some of them look pretty cool. Check them all out and feel free to leave your comments here!!!
The end?
Home sweet home. I arrived today in Milan from Ireland and it's time to turn back to the usual boring life to realize that this journey is really over... During this months I enjoyed many different situations and I can't stop thinking back about all the amazing people I met and the adventures I experienced on the road. How could I forget the Norwegian sky reflecting the sunset over its lakes; the endless Alaskan forests and hills; the sunny days spent biking along the Yukon river or having fun in American cities; the unbelievable sceneries of National Parks and canyons with their villages; the ocean and the desert, the mountains and the beaches... and all the places where I slept: my tent, on a bus, at bus stations, in airports, on a ferry coach, in a motorhome... and then Mexico, hitchiking, the cold nights, all the stars high in the sky, the northern rain, Germany, Ireland, the beer... and obviously all the interesting people I've met on my way: I'll miss you all greatly and I'm looking forward to have news from you as soon as possible. Too many wonderful memories. The reality is that I'm understanding now I've became travel-addicted and I still would be ready to leave for anywhere... Moreover, I strongly believe this blog won't end up here: time to stop hasn't come for me yet... Stay connected in the very next days for news and for a look to the photos I've taken! Never give it up and keep on going, man!!!
Ireland: tha last stage
Time to go back... sigh!!! We landed from Los Angeles to Dublin, the crowdy capital of my beloved Ireland. I personally don't like that city too much, in particular if comparred to the gorgeous sceneries could offer the rest of the island. For that reason we didn't spend there too much time... just enough for a pilgrimage to the amazing Guinness Brewery in St. James Gate, where we learnt how to draught the "black gold perfect pint", and for a visit to the other Dublin main sights: Trinity College and Temple Bar. On a shitty car we quickly reached Newgrange, which is well known for the most important celtic megalithic tomb, and then we continued to discover the ancient taste of Ireland going west to Clonmacnoise - a site famous for its ruins showing the oldest Christian building complex in the whole Northern Europe. According to the mood of my trip we moved to the Irish west coast, which is absolutely stunning and definetely better than the east one. So we went on Achill Island, County Mayo, in the less touristical area of Ireland but the more charming too. Achill Island is an undiscovered tourist-free natural shrine: the slower way of living can make you feel the breeze of real Ireland past times while the thrilling views over the cliffs are lovely to see the stormy sea roaring closer to an emerald field full of quiet sheeps. Connemara, Galway, County Clare... all those places we crossed meant only one thing to me: time to come back home has come.
