Heya,
I spent about six weeks travelling around Ireland this year in the summer, and absolutely fell madly in love with the country and can't wait to go back!
I have time in November 2010 - February 2011 to do some travelling again, by myself, and would love to revisit old Eire, but I'm not sure if it would be the most exciting time to be over there.
I'm not so interested in seeing sights, as I did that this year. It's more the social aspect - would there still be other travellers around? In hostels and such? I know during the summer when there are loads of other tourists around it can be frustrating, but I liked that it meant hostels were always packed with lots of cool people. In winter is it more likely I'd be much lonelier?
In particular I'm interested in Galway and the west coast. I don't really care about the crazy cold weather, I can deal. Smile
Thanks!
