Hi ya,

Well - Harry and I are all back and safe in the UK!

AND NOW FOR THE FUN PART! :)

Well, for you - more than us! Over the next few weeks I shall be loading up photos for the trip, so you can see exactly what we got up to! :)

Whilst I sort out the photos that I have - I'll start by posting up some of the more general pictures that we took.

Enjoy!

More soon!

COMING HOME

Hi,

We're coming home today - all the missions are now complete. :)

The ghost tour went fine. It had been raining tuesday night - but stopped for the 1 and half that the tour lasted. Good fun it was too. :)

Anyway - even though the holiday is coming to an end - the role of this site is only just beginning! Once I'm home there are all the photos to load up! :)

Yay!

More soon!

TUESDAY UPDATE!!

Hi,

All has gone well and we have been progressing nicely with our missions - we are nearly all done now and have even managed to achieve a number of other tasks that were other potential dice rolls.

Here is an update on our official rolls.


Gareth's Activity.


Today we arrived in Phoenix Park, near Dublin zoo and proceeded to rush about in an embarrassing Mel style ginger wig. We actually look really hot in the wig - not in a HOT way, but in a phwoar way. hehe. Photos were taken and even some basic video footage.


Calum's Activity.


Unfortunately the restaurant that we hoped to visit was closed - but we found an equally nice one just down the road and had Thai Chicken brochetta, Tuscan salad and Tagliatelli. It was very tasty too.


Julie's Activity.


Photographs in our tacky t-shirts were taken around Dublin last night - we did end up linking this in with Steve's suggestion that we dressed and acted alike - so we both dressed tackily alike.


Ben's Activity.


We took photos and video footage of me chatting with Harry dressed as the local drunk. I also ordered Guinness in a rather poor Irish accent.

Paul From Out's Activity.

We are heading off this evening on the Zozimus tour. Should they not show up then I will do the tour myself!!!!

Steve's Activity

We copied each other; walking from the the restaurant to the George pub in Dublin and then mimicked each others moves for over 20 minutes. We may do more on this tonight. Hard to get photos of this one.

In addition to this we have also:

1. Been to Howth as suggested in one of Paul's options.
2. Had a photograph taken by a giraffe, at Dublin Zoo, as Calum suggested.
3. Taken a photo holding hands on the Ha'penny Bridge.
4. Had loads of nice coffees like Gareth suggested - that was a very easy one!
5. Done our speeches about each others friendship and will be handing over our presents this evening.

Umm - there may be more. We couldn't find the small pub that Calum mentioned and it wasn't in any of the guide books.

Where possible I intend to take photos to record these events!!

We have also purchased our presents and are mulling over our speeches for friendship ready for the extra activity.

That's about it for now.

More tomorrow!!

UPDATE - MONDAY!

Hi,

Well - we've been dice-rolling on and off today - but it's taken a while to get things ready for some of our "missions". However we are now prepared to do most of our tasks - so will be spreading them out over today and tuesday.

As an quick update we are planning to do, as follows:

Gareth's Activity.

We have purchased an appropriately coloured wig to enable us to look like Melanie Bush. We have also been practising screaming loudly. We will be taking photos of this tomorrow, hopefully in and around Phoenix Park in Dublin.

Calum's Activity.

Tonight we intend to eat Tagliatelli and Tiramasu at a rather nice Italian restaurant in Dublin.

Julie's Activity.

We have bought two tacky t-shirts and will be getting ourselves photographed in some of Dublin's scenic locations later tonight.

Ben's Activity.

We have come up with a rather bizarre way of recreating this suggestion which entails Paul asking for a Guinness in an irish accent and Harry dressing as a tramp. We'll probably be doing this one tomorrow.

Paul From Out's Activity.

We are currently trying to contact the people who do the Zozimus Experience Ghost tour. They do not run a tour on Monday - and require you to email them or text them. We have had trouble contacting them by email - so are looking into doing this one on tuesday.

Steve's Activity

We plan to be copying on another later this evening, maybe over dinner.

Where possible I intend to take photos to record these events!!

We have also purchased our presents and are mulling over our speeches for friendship ready for the extra activity.

Along the way we have also almost achieved some of the other possible suggestions - but more about that when we return.

This morning was spent in the town of Howth and this after in Dublin and St Stephen's Green. However, during the day we have rolled dice to decide a number of things:

a) What type of drink to have in a cafe - what type of cake.
b) What area of Howth we should explore or whether we should return to Dublin.
c) What we should eat for lunch - rolling for both our starters and our main.
d) What amount of tips to leave.

Anyway - that's it for now - more soon and photos to follow in the near future.

Expect an update Tuesday evening.

Hugs n stuff,

Paul and Harry xx
