I kindof like maps so here's where I've been (all external links to mapquest and a few others). What I really need is a www ordinance survey of Ireland. I might scan a few walks in sometime. Don't anyone hold your breath though.

A map of where I'm from (a farm at Ashgrove (near Ballymore), Cobh, Co. Cork, Ireland), (Cork City map), where I was in University (Limerick) and where I lived/worked in Dublin and where I worked (Huizen) and lived in Baarn. Baarn homepagina.

Where we're living now, handy if you're trying to figure the way across Dublin. BUT very large and a bit unclear and now a bit out of date :( Leopardstown and M50 to leopardstown.

The Netherlands

Instructions for Adele

*RANT*
The place? The Netherlands! Netherlands, Pays-Bas, Niederlande, Paises Bajos, Olanda, Ollandia, Nederlanderna, Alankomaat, Paisos Baixos, Nizozemsko, Nizozemska. You do remember we're living reasonably close to Amsterdam yes? In a place also called Holland! You know, "le pays bas" or something? People speak Dutch here, there's lots of water, dams and windmills, and CLOGS, can't forget them. Lots of canals and barges and thin long streets with tall thin houses with really steep staircases and pretty step/decorated/bell/whatever gables with a wee hook on them for getting the furniture in the windows. The land is very flat, there's lots of cows and also pigs too (tho you don't see them). And if you're out shopping these's loads of cheese - Gouda, Edam, you know, Dutch town names. And there's loads of liquorisce around too. Some marihuana/cannabis always found floating in the air in the cities along with interesting red-light districts, and, well, does that cover it? Nope forgot bicycles! There's loads of them too flying around with the locals perched on top.
