Today a 2 hour bus ride took us to Kilkenny. After being guided through the city, where we learned some interesting facts about Kilkenny and had some fun playing the bongos. We were allowed some free time to eat. When walking through the streets we saw an interesting looking restaurant, it was called "Abra Kebabra". Sadly it was closed, so we then found ourselfs in a different restaurant which was also very delicious. To our suprise, the croatian guy this time had enough money to buy fish and chips and not just the chips. After being split into two seperate groups, we were allowed to go inside the Kilkenny Castle. On the bus tour home we were exhausted and many people were sleeping. For lunch we then had some stuffed fries at a place right next to the Babel Academy, its called "Abra Kebabra" and I would recommend it to anyone. Then we went to play pool again for quite some time, which was really funny.

Today was our last full day in Ireland. In the morning, we were a bit stressed but in the end we managed to catch the bus with which we drove to Kilkenny. When we arrived, we first had a guided city walkk tour. The weather was sunny and really beautiful, which made the tour even better.

After that, we had some free time to explore the city and go shopping. Afterwards, we visited the Kilkenny Castle. The tour was quite interesting and we Took some photos there.

After the castle, we had more free time and got some food from small stands that were set up because of the st. PatricksDay.

When we were on the bus driving back to Dublin, we saw loads of sheep in the fields, which was really cool because we got an insight into the countryside life of Ireland. It was so beautiful to see so many sheep

and the many farms along the way. In the evening we returned to Dublin. There was a fun fair because of the celebrations and we went on a ride that turned 360 degrees. During the ride the sun was setting and we had an so incredible beautiful view over the river and the city. It was a breathtaking moment and a perfect memory of Dublin.

Later we played pool, went back to our host family, ate chicken burgers, packed our suitcases and went to sleep.

Thank you, Dublin, for the wonderful time and for all the experiences and activities we were able to enjoy. XOXO

Today didn’t start like any other because we didn’t have to go to the school. Howewer we still had to wake up early and because the trainsceadule is different on the weekends than weekdays we were 30 minutes early. After 30 minutes we got in the bus and drove to killkenny. We had a guide and he showed us around the city and also told a story about the irish John Wick. After that we had a quick break and then we visited the killkenny castle. It is a beautifull castle. Then we took the bus back to dublin. When we arrived we did a small tour of dublin. It was a really nice day.

Sadly today was our last day in Ireland and we visited the town Killkenny and the castle nearby. We were quite lucky with the weather and the village was very lovely. The castle itself was also very impressive and beautiful. After our trip we decided to visit a newly built amusement parc in Dublin center and to end our night playing pool in Dublin. It was a great last day and we will surely miss Dublin! It was a great class trip which we will think surely think about!

Our day started a bit hectic today because we accidentally overslept and our host pa had to wake us up. Luckily we still managed to get to our meeting point on time since we didn’t have school today.

At 9am a bus took us to a small city called Kilkenny, where we would spend most our day. When we arrived we got a city tour and the tour guide told us a few facts about it. Afterwards we had a little time to explore the city ourselves and to eat something.

Next we were supposed to take a tour through the Kilkenny Castle so we were parted up into two groups again and got to discover the castle by our own.

On our bus ride back to Dublin most of us fell asleep because we were tired. We got the rest of the day to our own use.

We got our last coffee in Ireland and went straight home for dinner. The rest of the evening we just talked to our host ma and pa and we had a great last day in Ireland.

Overall our trip was successful and it was a great experience that we would do again.

After that, we visited Kilkenny Castle. The castle was very beautiful and it was interesting to learn more about its history. Later, we drove back to Dublin.

Going out with a bang from Dublin. But let's start with Kilkenny. In the morning we explored the City and thé beautiful castle, which reminds me of Hagwarts. I fehlt royalty for a few hours.

In the Afternoon, back at Dublin, we ate our last round if our favorite burgers at Bunsen. But the Highlight was definitely getting catapulted into the sky in a giant metal ball. My heart is still somewhere over the Liffey! Ireland, you have been amazing and pretty interesting. We are going home with a great feeling and new experiences. Definitely the greatest adventure of our lives.

Today was our final day in Dublin, and it started just like every other morning with breakfast at 6:30 am. After meeting up with the group, we set off on a two-hour drive to our destination: the historic city of Kilkenny. We spent the day exploring the streets and we got a great tour of the city of Kilkenny and the Kilkenny Castle itself, where we learned all about the city's history and about the castle itself. Once the tour was finished, we headed back to Dublin for one last evening. We enjoyed a nice dinner in the city center before returning to our host families to beginn packing our bags.

This morning our group went on an excursion to Kilkenny. We gathered at 9 a.m. and travelled there together by a rented bus. The journey took about two and a half hours until we finally reached the city.

After arriving, we started with a short walk through Kilkenny to see some parts of the town. Then we had some free time. During this break everyone could walk around independently, look at the shops or buy something to eat.

Afterwards we visited Kilkenny Castle. Instead of having a guide, we explored the castle on our own, which made the experience even more interesting. When we finished the visit, we returned to the bus and headed back to Dublin.

Once we were back in Dublin, we ate pasta for dinner and later spent some time with friends.

Our last day has arrived. We met all the other ones at 8:45. Our bus driver picked us up at 9 am for a day trip to kilkenny. The Bus Drive lasted two hours  and we got there at 11 am. First, we got a little tour from the city from our tour guide. After that we had around one and a half hours for lunch break before meeting the others again at the bus. As the whole group we walked to the Kilkenny castle. There we had to be separated into two groups for the tour through the castle. While waiting we sat in the park and enjoyed the sunny day. The tour was half an hour. After that we all met us again at the bus and rode back to Dublin with a little stop in between. After coming back to Dublin Helene, Livia and we decided to go to Costa coffee one last time before riding home by bus.

A bus from the Babel Academy then took us to the slightly smaller town of Kilkenny, where we arrived after two hours. There we got a tour of the city and then we had an hour of free time. During this time we went to an Italian restaurant to eat pizza. It tasted very good. Then we met at the castle and looked at the different rooms. At 4 pm we drove from Kilkenny back to Dublin, where we were eating burgers. In the evening we walked through the city and enjoyed the last day.

Today was a little different than usual because we didn't go to the Babel Academy, instead we went to Kilkenny.

For that, we all met at the Clifton Hotel and got in a bus. We knew that it would be a rather long trip, nearly two hours.

When we arrived we got a tour through the small but beautiful city of Kilkenny, where we learned something about the history and the people that live there.

After the tour we got a short lunch break. Our group strolled through the heart of the city and already admired the Kilkenny Castle. There were a lot of people because St.Patricks day is already near.

Afterwards we got seperated into two groups of 24, one group had the tour through the castle at half past two the other at three p.m.. Us and our friend were in the second group so we had to wait half an hour. When we got into the castle we didn't get a guided tour it was a self-guided tour. Afterwards we enjoyed the nature by the castle and went back to Dublin by bus.

Two hours later we arrived in Dublin and enjoyed our last evening here.

We had a great last day and an amazing week in Ireland!

Today we made a trip to Kilkenny. We met up with the rest of the group at 9 a.m. and then drove there with a rented bus. After two and a half hours we arrived in Kilkenny. We had a little tour through the small city first and then we had a short break. During this break we were able to explore the city by ourselves and get some food. After that we had a non-guided tour through Kilkenny Castle, which was amazing. Later we went back to our bus and drove to Dublin again. Back in Dublin we got some pasta for dinner and met up with some friends. We are very sad that this amazing trip to Ireland is over now, but we really enjoyed it!!

On our last day here in Ireland we took a trip to the city Kilkenny.

At 9 am we got on the bus that would take us to the city and got there at about 11:30 - ish.

We started off with a tour through the city, along with exciting stories about its history.

After the tour we had some freetime, which we spent at a restaurant eating burritos and brownies.

Then, we went back to the bus, where we got decided into two groups for the tour through the castle.

After the tour we waited for the bus and went home.

Arrived in Dublin, we went shopping and bought some waffles.

The most memorable thing of our last day here was definitely the tour through the castle.

It was so much fun and we'll definitely miss Ireland.

Our day started again with a very good breakfast with our host family. This time we didn’t only have toast, but we also tried typical Irish sausages in a sandwich. It was very tasty and a nice way to start the day. After breakfast, we headed to our language school.

At school we first worked on some worksheets again and then played a few games. We also learned some new Irish slang words, which was very funny and interesting. After the lesson we only had a short break before our afternoon activity started.

In the afternoon we went to Howth, where we did a cliff walk. The walk took almost three hours of our day, but it was definitely worth it. It was beautiful to walk along the cliffs and enjoy the amazing views of the sea. We had a lot of fun and the landscape was very impressive. From far away we even saw a seal in the water, which was really exciting. We were also very lucky with the weather. It was quite windy, but not too uncomfortable, and luckily we had good equipment and good shoes.

After the walk we had some free time because we only had to be back at our host families’ houses at 9 p.m. During this time we went to the city center of Dublin with another group. There we played billiards and drank some mocktails together.

In the evening we returned home and talked with our host family about our day and also about our plans for the future. Unfortunately, our trip to Dublin is slowly coming to an end. We will definitely miss the city and especially our host families very much.

On our last day of school we had to wake up at 7:00 am, so we could make it on time for school at 9:00 am. During the lesson we played Werewolf which was really fun and after school we only had about a hour for lunch so we went to “ Abrakebabra” to get us some fries and they were delicious. Our train was leaving at 1:39pm so we rushed to the trainstation so we could make it on time. After an 30 minute ride we arrived in Howth, where we went on a hiking trip, which I can definetly recommend. The view from the top of the cliffs was beautiful and the weather also. After the hiking trip we glt ourselfes Fish and Chips in a restaurant in Howth, which Frau Prof. Koreschnig recommended and I would also recommend going there. In the evening we went to a Pool Bar in the Temple Bar where we had a nice time playing Billard.

Today we got up at 6:50 as usual and went to the station after a delicious breakfast to catch the train to the city. In the morning we had lessons for the last time at the Babel Academy and we played a murder mystery game with our teacher Felipe. We spent our short break with lunch. Afterwards we met at the station in Tara street to take the train to Howth. Fortunately, the train ride didn't take too long. After we went to the sea we took the hiking trail along the coast, which was one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Fortunately, the weather was nice, so you could see far over the sea. At about 5 p.m. the hike was over again and we took the train back home. In the evening there was a delicious dinner.

In the morning we went to language school. During the lesson we checked our booklets and afterwards we played the game “Werewolf” together. It was a good way to practice our speaking skills.

After school we had an one hour break to eat something and to go to the train station where we met. The train ride took Howth was around half an hour. After we arrived, we took some pictures at the seas and then started a cliff walk along the coast. The view of the sea and the cliffs was amazing. Along the way we saw many birds and beautiful landscapes.

Congratulations to you at this point.🎉 But on Friday the 13th. If that does not mean anything. We will see. Anyway after classes, where we were trying to solve a murder-mystery, the interesting part of the day started. We took the train to Howth to make a short cliffwalk around on the pen-island. We had a wonderful view on the wide sea. The cliffs were just amazing. Anyway, six days, one birthday, lots of memories to take Home.🤩

Today we had to wake up at 7 a.m. like usually and then went to school. In our last lesson of the week we started with a murder mystery where we didn't manage to find the murderer and then we learned a bit more about the city of Dublin. After a short lunch break we took the Dart to Howth where we first saw a nice rocky beach and started our journey through the peninsula. The further we ascended the windier it got and the better you could view the ocean. We even saw some seals!

(You can see them in the second picture)

At the top we had a break to enjoy the nice view and take some photos. Then we started the descent through the more populated area of Howth. In the evening we went out to eat with our friends and had a lovely time. Now we're heading to bed and are excited for the visit to Kilkenny tomorrow.

Today was our last day of language school. To celebrate our succesful ending, we played exciting games like „Werewolf“ and „Taboo“. After our class ended, Sigrun, Nepomuk and Martin went to Tesco to buy snacks for our upcoming trip, while Beni went to check out the nearby kebab store with some of his friends. To get to the starting point, we had to drive to Howth by dart. When we arrived, we had a bit of time to explore the beach and take photos. After that we got blessed by a great view of the cliffs and the sea. It was a great hiking session with lots of highlights. When our trip had come to an end, Beni went to dinner with some of his friends, while Martin went to an Irish Pub for dinner with Sigrun.

All in all, it was a great day with lots of highlights.

Today was our last day at Babel academy, so we played some fun games. Afterwards we were pretty hungry and somehow ended up at Abra Kebabra again. A long ride with the train then took us to the cliffs of howth. The sight was incredible and you could also spot several seals from the far. After hiking down the cliffs again, we decided to eat at a restaurant located right under the trainstation. Three of us had some delicious fish and chips, but the croatian guy only had money for the chips. In the evening we played pool in the city center, where Elias and I absolutely crushed Nico and David.

Today started like any other: we woke up, had breakfest and went to school. In school we did cool tasks with our favorite teacher Filipe. At the end of school we said goodbye to Filipe because we’ ll probably never see him again. After that we went eating and went to the train station to be on our way to Howth. In howth we went to the beach and took some pictures. Then we went on a 2 to 3 hours hiking trip and saw beautyfull views and some sealions.

When we finally arrived in Howth, we went on a three-hour hike and enjoyed the view from the top. Later, we went into the city and got something to eat in a pub. In the end, we all travelled home together. We talked a lot about the day and laughed about missing the train earlier. Even though we were tired from the long walk, it was a really fun day and everyone enjoyed spending time together

Our 6th day in Dublin started, as always, with 2 hours of language school. At first, we played a Murder Mystery with our teacher Felipe and then we went to the city and we could explore it for a bit.

Around 1:30 pm, we got on a train going to Howth. As soon as we arrived there, we started our cliff hike, which took about 2.5 hours. There we had an absolutely stunning view and we saw absolutely spectacular cliffs. Shortly after, we went home for dinner and it was another great day in Dublin.

Today was a very interesting day. As usual the day began with a morning lesson at the Babel Academy. It was our last lesson.

After a short break we drove with the train to Howth. There we did an around two hours long walk on the cliffs of Howth. We enjoyed lots of stunning views and took several pictures of the Irish Sea. At the end of our cliff walk we drove to a sandy beach by bus.

After that we quickly went to an Irish restaurant with Tabea and it was our first time trying Fish & Chips!

After walking so much we lastly drove back home since we were really tired. Another exciting day comes to an end.

Today we went to Howth! We went to school as per usual in the morning, had bubble waffles and rushed t meet up with everyone at Tara St station to catch the train to Howth! When we got there, the first thing we saw was the sea, and we all hung out by the rocks on the shore! Then commenced the cliff tour! The view was so beautiful everywhere, and the weather even cleared as if on cue a few times! The sight really inspired me, and I felt really relaxed the entire way! It was an awesome experience, all in all! After Howth, we took the train for Bray to get back to the city, where we stopped by to eat some really great food at a Japanese shop at Tara St! It was a while until we were out of the restaurant, and by the time we arrived at Temple Bar to get ice cream and waffles, it had already gotten dark. (Friendly advice: try avoiding Temple Bar on Friday nights, weird stuff happens :) After the events of the day, we were rightfully exhausted to the point of giddiness, which made the walk back home really amusing!

All the love in the world from mostly Laura! (honorable mentions: Elisa, Marie)

Today we had an amazing day, that started with our usual school lessons from 9am until 12:15pm. After that we went to go for a coffee and relaxed with our friends before we needed to meet our classmates and teachers at the train station.When it was time we got on the train to Howth, which took about 40 minutes.

Once we arrived there we went straight to the beach where we had a lovely view. Afterwards we started our hike up to the cliffs, which took around two hours. In that time we took a bunch of pictures and chatted with our friends. Surprisingly the weather was pretty nice for Ireland conditions, we had some wind, which didn’t affect us but it didn’t rain at all. After a 30 minute walk back to the train station, we had the afternoon to ourselves and we decided to get an ice cream and a slushie. Even though the walk was fun, our feet were hurting and we were exhausted, so we went straight home.

Shortly after we came home we had dinner and we were full of energy again. We had a great evening because we had a lot of fun with our host ma and pa.

Today was the last day in the language school. We played funny games like,, Werwolf‘‘ and Taboo. Even though the games were fun the partner activity was much more fun. We had to work in pairs and had to ask our partner 25 random questions. We asked a lot of interesting questions and got some good facts about them. It was a really nice ending of the school. After a quick lunch break we took a train to Howth were we started our cliff walk. It took us around three hours to get back to the start.

After a stressful morning, today, with still nice weather, we went to the Babel Academy. There we spent the first hour before the break in preparation for a road survey. Because it rained at the beginning of the survey, we did not do the survey on the street but in a shopping centre. After a short lunch break we continued to the Teeling Whiskey Distillery. There we got a tour of the building and we were explained how whisky is made at all. Afterwards we had a short tasting of alcohol-free drinks before we walked around in the city ourselves.

Today, my two friends and I had a very nice day in Dublin. In the morning, our host family prepared a delicious breakfast for us. After that, we went to our language school from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The lessons were interesting and we learned many new things. After school, we visited the Teeling Whiskey Distillery. It was very interesting to see how whiskey is made. At the end of the tour, we were allowed to try a non-alcoholic drink. Afterwards, we had some free time in the city centre, where we went shopping. In the evening, we returned to our host family and had dinner together.

Like most other days we started off with a few hours of school, which were actually really funny. We had to take part in a street survey and aproach many different people. Afterwards we decided to change things up a little and had lunch at "Abra Kebabra". A bus then took us to the Teeling Wiskey Distillery, where a guide told us many interesting thinks about the whiskey wich is made there. Then we explored new parts of dublin and found a basketball/soccer court where we played for quite some time. Exhausted from playing, we went on a quick shopping tour. For lunch, we decided to eat at an american place which was suprisingly good. Allthough it was raining heavy, we had a great day.

Once more we stood up at 7 a.m. and got ready for school. In the first hour of school we prepared some questions for a survey we had to do later. After the short 15 minutes break we headed as a group to brown thomas, where we had to interview some customers. Luckily we asked two very nice people, who were willing to answer. In the remaing 10 min of the class we elaborated our information.

The Teeling Whiskey Distillery was waiting in the afternoon. We had a very interesting tour through the distillery and had a mocktail at the end because we are not allowed to drink alcohol and therefore we were prohibited to try the whiskey.

The remaining afternoon we had some free time, us and our friends went shopping in the city we also visited the Stephen's Green Shopping Centre.

When it was time to eat we went to a nice burger restaurant and ate a very tasty burger.

Now we will head to bed and look forward to tomorrow!

Afterwards we met at the Teeling whiskey distillery at 1:30 pm and had a tour through the distillery. The guide of the tour told us how whiskey is produced and also some interesting information about the history of irish whiskey. In the afternoon we walked through the city and some malls.

Our day started with school as usual at 9am and lasted until 12:15pm. Today we had a different school program, we had to interview random people in the city. Originally we were supposed to go to Grafton Street but it was raining cats and dogs, so we went to Jervis Shopping Center instead and did our interview there.

After school we went for a little coffee break with our friends near the location for our next activity which was the Teeling Whiskey Distillery.

Once break was over we made our way down to the Distillery, where we met our teachers and classmates. We were separated in two groups and got a tour through the Distillery and we learned about how whiskey is made, the history behind it and how much the oldest whiskey costs. Afterwards we got to try a herbal mocktail and that was the beginning of our free afternoon.

Even though it was raining we still had a great time and went for example in the Lego store as well as the Disney store. We ate a lovely dinner and drove home safely, where we had a warm welcome from host ma and pa. In the evening we had a lovely chat with them in the living room.

Overall we had a fantastic day and enjoyed ourselves.

It is already a routine. Getting up in the morning and going to Bable-Academy. However, there was a little difference today. It was raining heavily. We got completely wet. Thanks to you weathergod.😉Anyway, our teacher from China invited us to a challenge with chopsticks. We had to grab as many sweets as possible in under 10 seconds. Afterwards we prepared for a street-survey. Well prepared we made our way to a near shopping centre to test our new skills. After classes we only had a short lunch break, because we wanted to take part in a guided tour through the Teeling-Whiskey-Distillery. Unfortunately the tour was quite short, but we still learned a lot. In the end we were even able to put our namens on a special wall. What a succes. But what to do afterwards. We decided to take a trip to Dublin Port. Unfortunately we were caught of unbelievable heavy rain again. What a shame. However, it was still a great trip. So we are currently drying our clothes and our soul, but see you tomorrow, hopefully with more sun.🤩

Today, in our fifth day in Dublin, we went to see the Teeling Whiskey Distillery. Back in the day, before the independence of Ireland, this distillery already produced whiskey and not just that - 60% of all bought whiskeys were made there. This changed, when the War of Independence started. The economy declined so much, that only 2% were made by Teeling. Luckily now, they're back and already produce 6% again. Why "just" 6% you might ask, because now, there are way more different destillaries than back in the day - which means more competition.

As you might be able to tell, it was interesting.

Still, the day had a few hours left unwritten.

So what did we do next?

Martin and Beni went shopping for gifts in the city and got lost on their way back home. Something to cross of the to-do list.

In the meantime, Elias and Nepomuk went to Portmarnock. It's a beautiful sand beach with lots of shells to admire.

Even though, the weather was really windy and rainy, we enjoyed our trip. Now tough, we got to figure out how to get our shoes dry again - maybe this wasn't the best idea after all.

Today we headed to the city centre in the morning to go to school, which began at 9 a.m. Our assignment for the day was to think of several questions and conduct a survey with people on the streets. After the lessons, we visited a whisky distillery where we discovered many interesting things about the history of whisky and the way it is made.

Later in the evening, we met up with a few friends and spent some time bowling, which was really nice. After that we went out to eat at a restaurant . Now we are back at our familys home and are excited about our trip to Howth tomorrow.

Today our first activity of the day started at 9am in school. We had to go out to famous places like Grafton street or St Stephen’s Green Park to do a survey. Sadly it was pouring rain the whole day, that’s why we could also interview people in the Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre. Our questionnaire had to include questions such as, how locals like Dublin, what they know about Austria and their favourite place in Dublin. In 80 minutes we had to interview and film at least 8 people. Beside the fact, that it was actually a bit hard to get people to talk to us because most of them were in a rush, it was really fun to do something for the school in the city. When we got back we had to present our survey. After school we had a one hour lunch break. We drank some hot chocolate in a cafe because we were completely wet. Afterwards, we went to the Teeling Whiskey Distillery and learnt many facts like, that it was the first Distillery to open after 125 years and founded by Jack and Stephen Teeling. Because we are too young to try Whiskey we all had a glass of Mocktail, which was very delicious. After the tour we got the rest of the afternoon free and we quickly hurried back into the city. The first stop was the Lego shop, and after that we went to eat at the Little Pyg restaurant. We both had a yummy Ceasar Salad. We ended the day with some Donuts as a dessert.

Today we started off with morning classes where we had to do a survey.

So we spent almost the whole class out on the street interviewing people. Although it was a bit difficult because of today's bad weather we still managed.

After that we went to the Whiskey distillery where we got introduced to the making of Dublins Whiskey as well as the history of the production.

After the tour we got to try a cocktail-ish drink (without any alcohol) which tastes actually really good.

Even though the tour was a bit short in time, it was still a memorable experience in my opinion.

Then, Laura, Elisa and I parted ways, because I went home and the two of them planned on staying on the city to do some shopping and sightseeing.

Regardless of the weather it was still a great day.

Today we woke up very early at6:30 because we wanted to see the sunrise at the cliffs in Howth. Our host dad was so nice that he drove us there. But Unfortunately, the weather was very cloudy and it was raining, so we couldn’t really see the sunrise. However, the view was still very beautiful and it was a cool experience.

After that we had breakfast together and listened to some music.

Later we took the train to our language school. Today we did a small excursion with our class to a shopping center where we had to interview people about some random questions about Ireland. But on our way there it was raining a lot and we got completely soaked.

Afterwards we had some free time, so we got something to eat. Later we visited the whiskey distillery with our school and had a guided tour. Which was really interesting. After the tour we decided to go shopping for a while and we also ate an açaí bowl. Because we were very very cold and tired, we went home and had dinner together with our host parents.

Today we again had school from 09:00-12:15am. In class we were allowed to do an activity outside. Unfortunately it was raining heavily but this couldn’t stop our mission. Teacher Paul taught us how to speak to strangers and make a survey with them. The first and most important step was being polite and kind to the people. After we returned we had to evaluate our results. After presenting them infront of our class we had a little break before we went to the whisky factory. Even though the tour through the factory was quite short we learned much about the process and the production. In the end we were allowed to taste an non alcoholic drink.

Our day started like always at 6:30 with our breakfast.

After that we got ready to head to the language school.

Once we were finished we had a short break, which we had to use to get to the Teeling Whisky Distillery, where we were told to meet up.

There we had a tour through the distillery where we learned something about the Irish history and the process of making Whisky.

After that we tried to go to the harbour, but the rain hit us by surprise and we had to get shelter.

Our day started with another lesson at school. Today we had to interview strangers on the street which was great fun and gave us the oppurtunity to talk to people from all over the world. After a short break, a tour through the Wisky Distillery was planned. It was really interesting to get an insight on the production of Whisky. Afterwards, we made our way back to the centre of Dublin. After walking through some shops we decided to eat at a restaurant.

We got to know us better and did some work in groups. We had as always a break which lasted 15 minutes. Then we had to go on the shopping center and interviewed Irish people. We presented our interview results in class and discussed about this.

Then we were able to had lunch bevor we met at the whiskey distillery. There we learned how whiskey is produced and some facts were given too. The tour took not so long so we went schopping after it. After we got some suveniers we were a little bit tired, so we just had dinner and drove back to our place and relaxed. It was another great day in Ireland which we really enjoyed.

After that we went to the school and had classes with the best teacher: Filipe. In class we went out and asked random people questions.

After that we had free time.

Today we could get up a bit later than usual because we were meeting us at 10 am at the Sean O’Casey Bridge for a river cruise at the Liffey River. Our guide on the boat was very nice, explained Irish history and he could even talk a bit German. It lasted one hour and we saw many sights. After this activity as a group of five we decided to get some coffee in our lunchbreak. We bought a Chai Latte with a berry cake and a Mocha with an apple-almond cake. After our break we went to school and had our first afternoon class. In this class we played some fun games such as werewolf and taboo. When our lesson was over we went to the famous Grafton Street and spent our whole evening there. We were at the Pandora store, Subdued and at an Irish tourism shop. In the Irish store we bought some gift for our family and friends at home. The last stop of the day was a Fish and Chips restaurant. It was very delicious, even though we both don’t like fish that much.

Today was our fourth day in Dublin, and it was a very exciting and busy day. We woke up early in the morning and then took the train to the city centre of Dublin.

Our first stop was Love Lane, a small and colourful street full of art and messages about love. It was very beautiful and a great place to take photos. After that, we walked to the Portal, which connects Dublin with another city through a live video screen. It was interesting to see people from another place in real time.

Next, we went to Penneys to do some shopping. Many of us bought clothes and small things there because the shop has good prices. After our shopping trip, we went on a boat tour on the River Liffey.

During the tour our guide told us many interesting facts about Dublin's history, famous bridges and important buildings along the river.

Later, we had some free time. During this time, we went to a bookshop and relaxed while drinking coffee and matcha. It was a nice break before the next activity.

In the afternoon, we had four hours of language school. We learned new vocabulary, practiced speaking English and worked together in groups.

After the language school, we walked to Grafton Street and visited the St. Stephen's Green Shopping Centre. The building looks a bit like a museum inside, with a beautiful glass roof. We did more shopping there and bought souvenirs to bring home.

In the evening, we went to a very nice restaurant and ate pizza together. It was a perfect way to end the day. After dinner, we took the train back home.

Today we made a boat cruise on the river Livi which is the biggest river in Dublin. We saw many interesting buildings during the 50 minutes drive. For example the central bank whose building costs 4.5 million euros because of the golden exterior facade. In addition to this we also saw many swans and seagulls which we also feeded part of our sandwich. After that we had free time before the afternoon class started. Therefore Sigrun and Martin went to eat fish and chips while me Tabea ,Eunice, Learta, Magdi, Elias and Miriam went to eat at the Hardrock restaurant.

At 1:40pm our class began. The first point on the programme was playing murder mistery. It was a lot of fun for everyone even though nobody guessed the real murderer. After a 20 minutes break we talked about different feelings and played taboo.

After that we went to the academy, but since Elisa and Marie didn't feel all too well, we parted ways... While I was at school and tagging along with my classmates after, Marie and Elisa made an amazing impression back at home, because they cooked up some Wienerschnitzel for the whole host family! They loved it and said it was the best thing any host kids have ever tried making for them at their house! Needless to say Elisa and Marie are some great chefs! Back on my end, my classmates and I decided to visit a bay nearby, and I was having a great time being social and just having fun. At the end of the day I made it home safe and sound!

Our day started with a nice morning with our lovely host family. We had breakfast together, listened to some music, and talked a bit before getting ready for the day. After that, we went to the train station to go to school. Unfortunately, our train was a little bit late, so we quickly grabbed a coffee at the station before continuing our journey to school.

When we arrived, we had our lessons. The classes were actually really fun. We played the game Werewolf and also worked on a few worksheets. After the lesson, we had a 30-minute break. During this time, we ate our lunch packets that our host dad had prepared for us.

After the break, we continued our day with Gaelic Games. We took a bus for about 30 minutes to get to the sports field. First, we learned a bit about the different sports and especially about how important they are for Irish people and their culture. After that, we were allowed to try the sports ourselves. It was very fun and we laughed a lot, but it was also quite exhausting.

Later, we went into the city and met up with the bigger group. Together we went shopping danced with a streetartist and explored the area a little more. At the end of the day, we all ate together before taking the train back home.

Overall, it was a very nice day, and we really enjoyed all the experiences.

But let us start in the morning. After our regular morning classes where we played some fun rounds of Werewolf we went to participate in the Gelic Games. After a short brake we took the bus to a near sportsfield. After we were intoduced in both Hurling and Gelic Football we were allowed to play a match ourselves. We promise you, it was a lot of fun. Afterwards we decided to visit a small Irish Restaurant in the city. They promised that they had the smallest menu in the whole city of Dublin.( See the pictures above) Anyway the food was absolutely delicious and tasty.(Thanks to Prof. Sadjak for the suhgestion) I think we are currently 90% Burger.🍔 Mission completet. What a „grand“ day in Dublin!🤩

Today we tried something new, that we haven't tried ever before. After our English School in the morning, we got to play two Gaelic games, which were Hurling and Gaelic Football. At first it was really difficult to understand, but after trying it for a bit, we slowly got the hang of it. Even though it rained, that didn't stop us from giving it our best at our matches. Although, we couldn't go to the beach because of the rain and had to change our plans. We decided to go to a restaurant, where we had delicious food.

We hope that we'll the same amount of fun tomorrow as we had today.

Today we had to wake up early in order to be at school at 9 a.m. After more than 3 long hours of learning new Irish phrases, we ended up going to eat some lunch at Abra Kebabra. Shortly afterwards we headed out to play Gaelic games, which was really funny. It was great trying out new sports which I hadn't even heard of before. After driving into the city centre again and walking around for a while, we met Johnny. Johnny is an Irish local who is really friendly and funny. He then introduced us to his favourite street musician, Simon. Simon is an excellent singer fron Italy. A few other friends then joined us and we had a lot of fun with Simon and Johnny. Sadly, we then had to say goodbye because we needed to be home at 9 p.m. and still wanted to eat dinner at Abra Kebabra. We are looking forward to seeing Johnny and Simon again.

We got up at nearly the same time as yesterday. As soon as we arrived in the city center, we had our second lesson at the Babel Academy, but with a different teacher named Paul. Paul taught us many different Irish phrases, like “grand,” which means that something is fine or okay. We also had a political discussion later on, which was very interesting to watch.

In the early afternoon, we went to the Gaelic games, where the trainers first showed us the rules and then divided us into girls’ and boys’ teams. The boys started with hurling and the girls started with Gaelic football. At first, hurling was pretty hard to understand, but after some time, we all understood it and it became a whole lot of fun, even though not even one goal was scored.

After around one hour, we switched so that the boys were trained in Gaelic football and the girls in Camogie, which is pretty much the same thing, but for women. Gaelic football is a mixture of American football, soccer, and even a little bit of basketball. After some time, we played a match, which we luckily won, and it was a whole lot of fun.

In the evening, we went to a burger restaurant near Temple Bar, which was very small but also very good. Now we are preparing to go to sleep and it was another great day in Dublin! So overall, you can say, that the day was really “grand”

We tried sports like Gaelic football and hurling, which were exciting and a bit difficult at first. It was quite fun to get to know such a traditional sport. Later we went into the city center to do some shopping. Afterwards, we met a really funny street artist that encouraged us to dance and sing with him. It was a really funny day!

We then had a 30 minute break before we met at the Temple bar square. We took the bus to Tolker bridge station. Inside they showed us a short video about the gaelic games and explained the rules to us. We then went outside with two coaches and got to try the 2 main gaelic games: Gaelic football and Hurling. We started off with Hurling, which is played with a little ball and a Hurling stick and we also had to wear a helmet for protection. Afterwards we played gaelic football, which is kind of like a mixture of Rugby and soccer. Both were a lot of fun.

After the Gaelic games we went back into the city to eat dinner. We went to a pizzeria and afterward took the dart back to our host family.

Today we stood up at the same time as yesterday. The morning was nearly the same but in the Babel Academy we had a different teacher, Paul. We played taboo and Paul tought us some new irish phrases like "the craik is mighty". After school we had a short break because we had to go to the gaelic games by bus. There we were informed about hurling and gaelic football. Following that we were seperated into a boy group and a girl group. The boy group was firstly trained in hurling. At first it was really difficult to understand but we got the hang of it, more or less. After one hour we switched, the girls were trained in camogie, which is the same as hurling but for women, and the boys were tought gaelic football. Almost every one thought that the gaelic football was better but the hurling was also nice.

We went back into town by bus and had a free afternoon afterwards. Now we will watch the Champions League and go to sleep afterwards.

It was once more a great day in Ireland.

Today, on our third day in Dublin, we got to try out the Gaelic Games. From Gaelic Football to Hurling - we tried everything. Still, that wasn't even the best part of the day.

But scoring a picture in front of the Guinness truck might become a highlight of the trip, at least for Martin. Even though we sadly can't try a Guinness, but you take, what you get.

Going back in time, from the windy, rainy evening, to the sunny morning of today, remembering the lessons in school today, we still have to laugh. Playing the famous game "Werwolf" and hearing our irish teacher trying to pronounce the "Kebabman" will never leave our memories.

It was a very nice day and we can’t wait for tomorrow’s river cruise.

We started the day with another set of lessons in the morning from 9am until 12:15pm. After we took a short coffee break, we made our way to the Gaelic Game location.

There, two coaches tought and explained how Irish football and Hurling is played. We started with the basic knowledge of Irish football: We learned how to pick the ball up without using our hands, how to pass it to our teammates and how to kick it further in the distance. After a bit of practice we played little match.

Afterwards we went through the rules of Hurling which is a game played with a wooden stick, similar to hockey sticks and it was also mandatory to wear a helmet for protection. Once we knew how to play the game, we got into teams and had another match.

Since we were exhausted, we took the bus straight home and our host ma cooked a delicious dinner for us.

On our third day in Dublin, we learned a lot about sports here.

In the morning, our host family gave us a good breakfast. On the way to the train station, the wind was very strong. At 9 a.m., Babel Academy started, where we learned some things about Ireland and played games. After lunch, we went to the Galic Games and played them ourselves. At the end of the day, we went to Stephen's Green Shopping Centre and ate at KFC.

It was a windy and fun day.

Today we had our second morning class at 9 am. After the class we had half an hour free time before meeting us with our teachers. Hannah and we decided that we want to go to the coffee shop named Costa. We bought a Frappuccino and a cherry vanilla iced matcha latte. They both were very delicious. After that we went to the meeting spot where some of our friends were already there. As one large group we went to the bus station and rode to the spot where the Gaelic games were planned to play. After we arrived, we changed quickly. After showing us videos how to play Gaelic football and hurling, we were ready to go on the field. The girls and the boys got separated. We started with Gaelic football. At the beginning it was difficult to understand the rules because it was new for us, but after a while it was much fun to play. After around 1 hour the boys switched sports with us and we could try hurling. First, everyone got a helmet, a stick and a ball. It was also much fun to try. At 4 pm we all rode back to the city by bus and could do whatever we want. Us two girls decided to ride back home by bus because it was a long day. On the way back home we made a stop at the Dublin portal.

On the third day in Ireland we had morning classes. We joined our group like yesterday and followed the lesson. During the lesson we played games to improve our English skills. We had a short break before the second lesson continued. After school we had half an hour to get a small snack till we met for the Gaelic games. We heard some interesting facts about the game and the history behind the game. We got taught the rules and learned how to play them.

We ended with matches. After this we had dinner and drove back home.

We woke up at 6:30am and then had some breakfast at home. Afterwards we went out to catch the bus and drove for about 40 minutes into the city Center to the meeting point. There, we played some funny games and did some English exercises. Then we went to grab something to eat and had a city tour guide about the culture and history about Dublin. After it ended we spent the rest of our day in the city with some friends and ate some pizza. We had an amazing day and hopefully the week continues like this.

Today was a very adventurous day! Firstly, we woke up very early and had a nice quick breakfast with our host family. Then we were at the Babel Academy and had very fun lessons and played many new games with our teacher.

After school we quickly went to Starbucks to get something to drink since we shortly afterhad a city tour around Dublin. The guide taught us so much about Dublin (Dublin actually means Black Pool in Gaelic). We also visited Trinity College which totally reminded us of 2000s American films.

Afterwards, we had some free time, so we decided to go into vintage shops and go to the beach. It was a very long walk to the beach but in the end the beautiful view of the ocean paid off!

Our day started with a lesson at the Babel Academy. Upon arriving we got seperated into 3 different groups where we learned about a lot of irish history and some famous traditions. But we also played games and got to know our teachers. Afterwards we had a city walking tour all around the city centre and got to see and learn about the history of dublin. We had the rest of the day to ourselves and decided to go to one of the many shopping centres in the city. Later we went to an italian restaurant but took a small detour to the dublin portal and the spire. Our day ended with us heading home and going to sleep.

After we woke up at 6:45 today, we had a delicious breakfast. Then we took the bus to the Temple Bar, where the language school was also located. Surprisingly, the tour was moved to the afternoon, which is why we had lessons at the Babel Academy. With our funny teacher from Brazil we played a few rounds stop. After some entertaining rounds, we had to fill out a tricky worksheet on Irish history. After a one-hour break at KFC, an interesting tour of Dublin began. On this tour, the guide explained things about St Patrick's Cathedral, the gardens of Dubh Linn and the Molly Malone statue. After the tour we could move freely in the city. We visited many interesting places in Dublin. When we came home in the evening, a delicious dinner was already waiting for us.

Today Dublin was our playground. However, let us start in the morning. After getting up early and several plan changes we finally arrived at our school the Babel academy. Here we got to know the detailed Irish culture and langauge. After that we were invited to a guided city tour through the history of the city Dublin. Equiped with this knowledge we were allowed to start our own trip through the city. After visiting the Spire and a huge Lego Store we finally went to eat something. Hidden spots found, mission accomplished. Tired legs but worth every step. See you tomorrow. 🤩

(By the way, did you know that there are over 3500 dustbins around the city? ( See the picture above))
