Poland 2005
In March 2005, I visited Poland - Zakopane and Krakow. I spent the first 4 days in Zakopane learning to snowboard and 2 days in Krakow doing a bit of sightseeing. These are the pics from that trip.

Rome, Italy
My friend Geoff and I spent 4 days in Rome in May 2005. The weather couldn't be better! I quite enjoyed my time in Rome and did all I wanted to do - saw all I wanted to see. We packed quite a lot of sightseeing, and took a lot of photos, in 4 days.

Netherlands
Not really a holiday, more work related. It was interesting none the less and I want to go back for pure leisure next time.

Dublin 2005
I spent 3 days in Dublin in mid July along with my mother and Geoff. It was a bit of a whistle stop tour taking in the main attractions such as Trinity College, St. Patrick's, Guiness Storehouse, Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin Castle and even a trip out to Dalkey.

Trans-Mongolian Railroad
An epic journey. We started off in Shanghai then travelled by air to Beijing where we embarked upon the Trans-Mongolian rail journey - 7865km. The first leg from Beijing to Ulaanbaatar was 1551km and took about 30hours. The second leg was from Ulaanbaatar to Irkutsk (1121km). This took around 24 hours with about 6 hours at the borders for customs checks. The final leg, Irkutsk to Moscow, was 5185km - 4 days.

Along the way we went from tropical conditions in Shanghai (25+ degrees) and Beijing (20+ degrees) to Ulaanbaatar and Irkutsk where the temperatures dipped below freezing at night. Moscow was grey and cold as well . . . colder in the day than in Irkutsk and Mongolia but not as cold at night.

Copenhagen
A city break in Copenhagen, Denmark from May 4 to May 8 2007. Found a host through Hospitality Club who were very good and lent us some bicycles so we could get around. They also recommended sites to see. Copenhagen is a lovely city and I'd recommend it.
