Arthur Move Over

Today I showed how good a king I am and have decided that I am going to take over at the top of Arthur Guiness' company Guiness after we all went to the storehouse, Im also going to send the management of the Jail in Dublin to Jail as they wouldnt let me in.

This morning after breakfast and strapped to Richards front we made our way to the tram and the Guiness store house. What a fantastic place, I started a brew, drank some Guiness, and even bought myself a hat.

Afterwards we tried to go to the Gaol (or Jail) but they didnt let us in but we had a nice walk anyway.

This evening they have all gone out and left me, not quite sure where they have gone but they all went out dressed up in shirts and ties, looked like fun. However Im sat here guarding the dorms. Hope that they wont be too late back as its quite quiet round here without them all.

Long Run

Today Ive had a very exhausting day.

After breakfast we headed off to Tara Street and met up with 7 members of a Irish Adventure Unit and took a train trip down the coast. That was great fun. Then Doug and Stuart made us all get off and walk back to the previous stop. The leaders werent quite sure where we were going but I was good and helped them find the way to the costal path.

The young people found a big field next to the park and decided to play sopme rugby to prove that they were still the best at the sport. Dont think Damian had a chance to win really but they complained about everyone that kicked like they did the night before. I sat on my throne and watched them all doing different things over there early break.After the break we set off still sat on my throne I get to see the coast line whilst chatting away to the Irish Scouts that had joined us for the day. The coast line was so beautiful and there was so many people walking past us, some even stopped to say hello to me.
The walk was fantastic. afrerwards we sat down to rest and have some lunch before I hit the Amusment Arcade in Bray to see if I could win some Euro. Didnt have much luck though.
We then got the train back and Richard took me shopping in Dublin.

Dublin Tour

I arrived in Dublin and have managed to get a whole top bunk to myself in a room with Doug, Phil and Stuart. We have a nice view out of the window over the courtyard at the back of the hostel.
This afternoon has once again been very busy, as my life always appears to be. As normal Ive been passed from piller to post with everyone once again wanting to look after me. We all went on a tour of Dublin some of the time I spent on Anges backpack looking towards the back so only saw the opposite of everyone else. However once I claimed the back seat of the tour bus I was able to see everything in my new Kingdom.
Dublin seems to be amazing, we spent an hour or so going round on the bus seeing all the sights. Doug spoilt the tour a bit trying to out smart the guide by telling us what things were, I guess that he had done it before.

There is just so much here I just hope that I get to see some of it properly. Pheniox Park looks amazing although a bit backwards as they still have gas lighting, Doug says its the only place in North City that has a even postcode because the premier lives there.
After the tour I needed to heat up so I demanded that I went for a drink, we found a great little coffee shop where I had some milk.

This evening I sat with all of the others and watched dissapointed as England lost the rugby to South Africa. All of the unit were upset (apart from Damian, cos he's South African, but I wont hold it against him.

Irland, here I come

Im now on the Ferry over to Ireland. Its been great seeing everyone and telling them of my trip and why Ive got a new scarf on. The sleep over at the Scout Hut in Hollyhead was great. We all had a bunk each all the boys together whilst the girls all shared.

This morning we had a short 10 minute walk to the terminal and now are sat comfortably at the front of the ferry waiting to go and get our breakfast.

Im so excited, and I just cant hide it (anymore)

Hey all

Sorry Ive not been writing on my blog of late but Ive been recovering from my fantastic trip to Switzerland with Jenny. Ive not exactly been sat with my feet up doing nothing as Ive been busy learning all about Ireland as Im off there on Friday. Im meeting up with most of the unit again so cant wait to see them. Sadly a couple cant make it but not to worry, guess that they didnt fancy getting across London at rush hour and spending hours on trains to get to Hollyhead and Dublin.

Im sure Ill post more over the weekend with photos and info of what Ive been up to.
