May 3rd Dublin to Nijmegen

We got up at 345 to catch a shuttle to the airport, we went to bed at 10, but I only slept an hour or so. Our hostel of right around the corner from the busiest pubs on Dublin. So the street is constantly filled with loud drunks, broken bottles, and other annoyances. We flew with Ryanair. A major discount airline, if you but flights in advance you can get a flight just about anywhere in Europe for less than 40 Euros. I have no idea how they make any money. The airline isn't half bad, it's a normal plane, no tvs or any free food or drinks on board but we got to Eindhoven ok. Bryce and I struck up a conversation with a girl with dual Irish/Dutch citizenship she told us there was nothing to do in Eindhoven, but Nijmegen was nice. So we caught a train, unfortunately we didn't really plan ahead. There are zero hostels in Nijmegen, so we have to pay extra for a B&B. Across the river in Arnhem however there is a hostel, so we might head there tomorrow. Holland, especially Nijmegen is filled with beautiful girls all riding around on bikes. There are sidewalks and bike lanes side by side everywhere here, alot of pedestrian only roads too, something I wish we had back home.

Cams girl friend is in Scotland so he's peeling off again to spend a few weeks with her. We just have to kill the weekend here in Nijmegen and Arnhem, Monday were going to Amsterdam. Accommodations in Holland are expensive but beer and food are fairly cheap, so I guess it evens out.

Bryce and I are trying to figure out some Australian work visas,, were not sure how to obtain them while overseas.
