Got back about half an hour ago, complete with our new pet for the week, Glenn. Sad to see the back of Ireland, but all things being well that won’t be a problem for much longer. :)
Didn’t get as much done as we’d have liked thanks to BAD THINGS happening to the car – it decided enough was enough on our third day there or so, and it turned out the fuel pump’s wiring had broke. So Will, Glenn’s brother and his friend fixed it (at much risk of exploding, apparently) only for the hose going into (or out of, not sure which colour does what) the pump not to go back in again. That was fixed with judicious use of stiff wire and silicone and it seemed to be the end of it, but then when we went to get fuelled up to come back the tank managed to pop its top and spill petrol all over the place – apparently it wasn’t screwed on tight enough. Cue the most terrifying drive in history back to Glenn’s where David again did awesome things and got us back on the road; we haven’t exploded yet so it’s probably good.
In other news, we found out how to go about moving there – apparently we need an Ireland address before we can get a bank account, NI number equivalent (can’t remember what it’s called) or pretty much anything. So that needs to be sorted first.
