Paris: Montmartre (arty district with cheeep good cafe's), and the basilica at the top of the hill. I would go here instead of the Louvre if I had limited time.

Dublin: Trinity college, go see the book of kells, hang out in the square in Temple Bar if you get a nice sunny bit of afternoon. This is where you will find freaks and geeks and alley-shops and I wish we'd discovered it earlier to spend more time there.

My experience of Germany is *coff* years old and in might-as-well-be-in-Denmark, so of no use.

:: grin :: thanks! Erin really wants to see the book of kell as well. How did you all get around while you were there?

We chose a B&B within walking distance of everything we wanted to see, and took a bus to/from the airport. The buses are frequent and close to everything, but!

* they only take exact change
and
* people steal/rip down the schedules posted at the stops, so find one somehow or somewhere else beforehand.

haha, alright, that's good to know. I'm trying to figure out this website: http://plannerint.b-rail.be/bin/query.exe/en?L=b-rail& as I think it will help us navigate between cities, but it's a little confusing.

Oh, right, so outside of Dublin, we drove. Because there was *no way on earth* we were going to try to drive in Dublin, especially first thing at 6am after a sleepless overnight flights :)

yes, we're in the process of finding shelter or a place to camp when we arrive. It's that or begin immediately making our way to Belfast.
