the one that got left behind...

Dublin -10 degrees, carlow -20, snow up to our armpits,
in dublin the trans-dublin express has been delayed due to leaves on the line and the points failure at bayside but we struggle on to travel across the wilderness from Sutton to Bray...met a local and shared some of his "local brew" from a brown bag, tasted remarkably like flat cider. train eventually made it across in 24 hours, a new record for this railway network....

stop off point in carlow, total wilderness and isolation, met some locals but couldn't decipher what they were trying to communicate so smiled and nodded....think i encountered a hill tribe from mount leinster during a festival on friday night...everyone very drunk and dressed very strangely....lots of ginger haired folks with coloured ponies.

hmmm...don;t think i'm getting near china yet....
