The temperature in Barcelona was approaching 40c on Friday, which shouldn't be all that bad for a Mediterranean city with ample air conditioning right next to the sea, but what do you know? It's humid, sweaty hell.

At the moment, I am in Cork! It is all Irish and awesome. I am working from my B&B room (we can't travel in luxury all the time, darlings), but shall have to go down to breakfast soon, for I can smell Irish breakfasty goodness.

I really like it here - it's all green and lovely and cold. I even had to wear a coat yesterday! Exciting times. The people are also really nice, really funny. I got chatted up in the pub last night, even though there were inevitable commiserations on my being English.

Sorry, I meant to say more, but... the smell of that bacon, you know...

Oh, I hope you had the FULL Irish breakfast complete with white pudding and soda bread. You won't need to eat anything until evening. Cork is lovely: my sister-in-law comes from there.

Cork City is a lovely place---and OMG, an Irish breakfast! After several days of bacon and sausages or puddings and those lovely grilled tomatoes you have to stop lest you swell to bursting from all the salt. Still...YUM.

I think the smell of bacon can lead me almost anyplace : )

Nice to be someplace cooler when where you live is a sweaty hell. I've never been to Ireland but its definitely on my list of places to visit.

I hope you had potato bread as well as soda bread! At risk of sounding clichedly Irish, it's very important to get your vitamins potatoes!

Ireland sounds lovely! It's on my list of places I must go sometime. I'd be out eyeing the horses... Have a good trip :)
