Galway City
Galway City
In the above pictures "Oscar Wilde" sits beside the famous Estonian writer, "Eduard Wilde". This sculpture is a replica of one that is outside the “Wilde Irish Pub” in Tartu, Estonia. The two Wildes were contemporary Irish and Estonian writers and this sculpture depicts an imaginary meeting of 1892.
Travel memory: Galway was the city where Sharon was cured! Or at least her camera was....
I did giggle. Sharon simply seemed to have the worst luck when it came to electronics. For instance, Sharon brought along her European convertor so that her camera and phone could always be charged. However, she seemed to have brought every single attachment but the correct one. For instance, she brought along her own travel hair dryer but, alas, it had an outlet that was not compatible with my convertor, nor the Irish plugs. Then there was her camera....
Sharon had been duly diligent and had made sure all previous pictures had been taken off her camera before she left, leaving it with lots of memory for Ireland. However, somehow her setting on her camera was such that there was a delay, accompanied by a “beeping countdown” to when the picture could be snapped. This meant that she couldn't snap “quick pics”, as well as each and every time she took a picture, she would “beep”. And the beeping, of course would go on for the full 5 second countdown... a long time to be beeping. (Try it.)
I told her she would never had to worry about getting lost. All she would need to do was take a picture, and I could find her.
She was very grateful to the camera shop man who cancelled her automatic delay setting. (I hadn't known how to do this, having never used that feature before.)
Although I wasn't in the shop at the time, I'm pretty sure these two camera shop pictures below were taken when she was demonstrating the problem to older shop keeper and then doing a trial to see that his fix worked :) :) :)
He also cleaned her lens since she'd had a water spot on it - and so all previous pictures she took would have this blurry spot in them.
Oh dear.
Oh well.
Worse troubles at sea - and better camera/picture taking days ahead!
