Today we had to say goodbye to our host family and met up at a parking area in Swords to be picked up by a bus. Our bus was surprisingly small, but way more cozy than the big one!

We were on our way to Galway, when we stopped at Clonmacnoise. It's an old cemetary and you can see ruins of important monasteries from the 6th century. After having a guided tour there, we continued our route to Galway.

Oh, not to Galway. We also visited another important place to be seen in Ireland: the Cliffs of Moher! They are huge and thanks to the perfect weather we had a wonderful view. Believe me, several fotos were taken!

Afterwards, we finally arrived in Galway and checked into our hostel, where we will stay for the next two nights.

See you soon,
Paula

Our day started really early. At 7 o'clock we left our hostel with all our suitcases and backpacks and went by bus to the Dublin airport.

Round about 2 hours later we checked ourselves and our luggage in and passed the security control. We all could sit next to our friends on the plane and it was a relaxing flight to Frankfurt.

On the German airport, we really boarded our flight in the last minute. Imagine, we just had 20 minutes time for another security and passport control!

The landing in Graz was amazing, as the weather was good and we could see whole Styria from the perspective of a bird. We got our luggage back and were picked up by our parents, who couldn't wait to see us again;)

I was really happy to be back home as not everybody could travel back on this day;) I am pretty sure that I will never ever forget this wonderful trip to Ireland with its stunning sights and loads of unforgettable moments with my friends.

A last goodbye and I hope to see you soon on another trip:)

Today started in a good way, as we took a ferry to the Aran Islands. It was good weather and everybody rented a bike from a small bike shop on the island.

Unfortunately, during our tour some incidents happened and the teachers really had to do a great job handling this situation. We had to return to the port, when it suddely started to rain.

Completely wet we arrived at the ferry and were still in shock. I think everybody was glad to go back to the hostel.

See you soon,

This day was quite a funny day. After having some morning classes with our kind and motivating teacher, we had enough time to explore Dublin's university campus. As a group of 7, we decided to grab something to eat and ended up having lunch in the park.

Highly motivated and not so hungry anymore, we met up at the second programme point of the day: Pub singalong! It was real fun to sing together with friends and enjoy the flair of the H'appeny Bridge Pub. I would recommend this if you hadn't done this yet!

We took the last bus home and so we had enough time to play some games and talk to our host family.

Bye,

The very last day, tuesday.
It started early in the morning. We woke up at 6:15am so that there was enough time to pack our last things and to make us ready. At 7am the bus to Dublin left. The busride was really calming and relaxing and also perfect for reminding the things and events that happend in the past week.
At the airport of Dublin we quickly checked in and after a bit of waiting, we finally were allowed to board the airplane.
In Frankfurt we were in a huge stress. The boarding was about to end at 4:15pm but only half of the class was even through the security check.
Fortunately, our flight was delayed anyways, so we had enough time to board everyone.

When we arrived in Graz, we got back our baggage and said goodbye to our friends, the teachers and everyone else.

All in all, it was a very, very nice and fun trip to Dublin, Galway and the Aran Islands and it's sad that it's already over.
But we look foward to our next schooltrip!
:)

Today was a  really eventful day to say the least . We took the ferry to Aran Island and rented some bikes to go on a biketour. We were halfway to our stop, when some accidents happened. our teachers did a really good job at handling the whole situation, so we should all be thankful for the three of them 🤲🏻. We also saw some seals and the views were awesome. After everyone checked into the airplane at a parking lot kind of Place, we were advised to cycle back to the island , which was a Lot of fun. We were all really cooperative and took care of each other . We were all really tired and kind of in a shook Stare when we took the ferry back and went to the hostel. We bought some Food, talked to some Nice Teenagers🤪and then went back to the Hostel. The evening was really fun! Love and Peace Felicia & Pia ❤️

We woke up at 6 15 a.m and finished packing our stuff. Then we went straight down to get to our bus and we drove 2 hours to the dublin airport. But not everything went as planed Dominik had lost his passport so he wasn‘t able to take the flight and had to stay in dublin for one more day.Our first flight from Dublin to Frankfurt was great and we had no problems in the plane but when we arrived in Frankfurt we were in a big rush because we had to catch our next flight and we had pretty much no time anymore but somehow everything worked out. The second flight was a bit scary at the end because the plane was shaking a bit because of the wind but nothing happend. When we arrived in Graz we took our luggage and met our parents who picked us up from the Airport.
In summary the ireland trip was just great and a lot of fun .

A day on the island. We started in the morning by bus to the harbor. There we boarded a ferry to the island of Inishmore. The boat trip was lovely. Arrived on the island we borrowed bicycles. Everybody took a bike and set off. At that point, everything was still fine. After only a short time there were already the first two injured and then there was also someone with food poisoning.
But now about the beautiful experiences. The bike tour was very fun and we also saw some of the scenery. The highlight on the island was that we saw seals. Even 9 seals. After a few kilometers of cycling we went back on the ferry and drove back to our hostel. There we went to Golway to eat and let the day end nicely. So ended the beautiful journey with Lilo and Carina.

We started the day early in the morning to get to our bus and to the ferry which took us straight to the Aranislands where we rented some bikes to do an bike trip unfortunately though the journey came with one or the other complications. To start off a student crashed and had to go to an hospital after that we continued the trip with only one teacher we did see a beautiful cliff. Going on some students felt very bad and fell behind. So we actually just ended the trip and got back to the ferry which took of at 5pm. Back home we still had to wait quite some time until the student which got hurt arrived in the hostel.

Today was our last day in Ireland. We visited the Aran Islands,  just the biggest one. We drove by bus to the ferry dock, and then by ferry to the Aran Island. On the Island we rented some bicycles, because we wanted to make a trip around the island. Our tour started quiet well, but unfortunately after a few minutes a student crashed. He was brought by the ambulance to the hospital. After the first shock we continued our tour. We drove to some cliffs and there we saw seals. After our short brake we drove further east. There we wanted to visit some more cliffs, but unfortunately another student got sick. So we had to make a turn around and drove back to the harbour. Then we had some free time. Rafael and I went to the other side of the Island to see some high cliffs. In the afternoon we drove back to Galway. In the evening we went to the city center to eat our last dinner in Ireland

Our schedule for today was pretty simple: get to the aran islands and do some sightseeing on bikes and maybe encounter some seals on the way. But shortly after a smooth ride on the ferry our luck had already faded. We just started the tour when Vincent appearently scrubbed the concrete with his face... (he fell of his bike). Things got so bad, he was even lifted out on a chopper to the nearest hospital. All that not being enough, Felix got off his bike too, due to really bad stomach aches. We weren't really sure on what to do after these incidents, so we just made our way back to the docks and spent our time waiting on the ferry around the area. At least the weather was decent and we was those seals tho. At home we just enjoyed the last day here by getting us some Pizza (not irish but good food) and getting supplies for the long bus ride on the next day back to the airport.

Today was our last full day in Ireland and we visit the Aran Islands, just the biggest one. We had to take the ferry over to the island and once we got there we got some rental bikes and set off on our bike tour. Not much later some people had an accident at the back and we had to stop. While we were waiting we saw some seals inthe ocean. I personally had never seen seals before so it was really cool. Then we set off again towards some cliffs on the island but as we got there Felix didnt feel well and had to vomit. It turned out he had got a food poisoning for yesterdays dinner. We didntget to see the cliffs because by this time there was onlyone teacher left and we were all over the place so we had to turn around so that we didnt miss the ferry back. The usland itself though was beautiful, it also felt like we were at the end of the world.
We went to Mcdonalds with Miss Sadjak for dinner and after we thuoght it was all over foe the day Dominik W. realised he had losed  his passport. We looked for it but we couldnt find it, so tomorrow is also going to be an interesting experience at the airport (luckily he has a copy of it, but it's still not the real thing).
A lot happend in our last day here and I'm kind of glad we are gonig home tomorrow.

Today we goodbye to our lovely host families and set of on our journey to the west coast of Ireland.
But before we got to the west coast we stopped of at Clonmacnoise. The reason we stopped of there was that one of most famous monasteries in Ireland was constructed there in the 6th century along the Shannon river. It was later the vikings and others and today it lies in ruins.
Later that day we drove to the Cliffs of Moher and they were beautiful and so was the road leading to it. It was like we had reached the end of the world, there were no tree, little civilisation, and just rocky hills. It was definitly worth the drive here.

Oh man today was an adventure. The day would have been boring, structured and well planed through: Simple getting there,  leading to a biketour to some giant cliffs and get back. Simple as that, but some unfortunate things happend. First off was a miserable bikecrash, in which Vincent got so bad injured that he got a free helicopterride. But the group remained strong and continued after some disgusion. Til Felix (6c) went to the ground due to some seveir stomache ache. From there on nobody had a clue what to do. We spend some time in the middle of the nowhere to figure out what happend, until Frau Prof. Geretschläger reached out to us and ordered to get back to the ferry. We did as we were told and in the hostle we even met Vincent again, played games, bought lunch for tomorrow and passed the evening guard.

It's Monday.. the final full day here in Ireland. It started early in the morning. We took breakfast at 7:30am and got on our bus at about 8:45am. The ride took about 1 hour. We hopped off at Rossaveal, where the ferry to the Aran Islands left later.
When we arrived, we rented some bikes and started the tour.
We came across some beautiful places and enjoyed the ride.
Unfortunately, one boy fell off his bike and was taken to the hospital. Another boy got a food poisoning.
For the rest of the group, the trip went out very well.
At the end of the day we got back to the Hostel. We'll now pack our luggage for tomorrow.

It was the last day. The time went really fast and it was a very nice trip through ireland.
Tomorrow our flight back to Graz will start.

We look forward to tomorrow :)

Today we woke up in our rather small hostel room and made our way to breakfast. After breakfast was finished, we headed for the bus which took us to the ferryport, where the boat that would take us to the island of Inishmore was already waiting.
After we had arrived on the island, we headed for the bike rental and got our bikes. Shortly after we set off, to explore the beautiful Island of Inishmore.
We stopped at multiple beaches and admired the view, on one occasion we could even spot some seals roaming around in the water.
Because there had already been an accident at the start of the day with one student ending up in the hospital, we needed to head back earlier than expected because one of my classmates wasnt feeling well and couldnt bike any further.
At 17.00, we took the boat back to the mainland and got back to the hostel by bus.

Today was the last morning with our host family because at 8.30 o'clock we already met to get on our bus to Galway. That wasn't the only plan we had for that day. The first stop was at the monastery Clonmacnoise. There we had a guided tour where we learned about the Irish history. It was really interesting. The best thing though was the arc of whisper. Me and Juliane tried it and it actually worked! 😉
Afterwards we went on the bus again and drove to the Cliffs of Moher. It was just stunning! Luckily we had great weather and so we could enjoy it very much.  Everybody took a lot of pictures.
Thereafter we finally arrived in Galway. We checked into our rooms and the got something to eat.
Subsequently we were so tired that we went straight into our beds.
And with that another great day with Carina and Lilo came to an end.

Today morning was our depature. Our hostfamily brought us to one of the bus stations, where we said goodbye to them.
Then, our bus tour started.
Our first stop was Clonmacnoise. There we watched a short documentary about the cemetery outside. Later a guide directed us trough it.
After about one hour, our bus ride continued. The next stop were the Cliffs Of Moher. They were really impressive and of course... very steep. 200m at the highest point!
After a walk there, we finally got to our Hostel. We checked in and got dinner afterwards.
Tomorrow will be our bike tour.

We look forward to tomorrow :)

Today we woke up, brought our suitcases down the staires and said goodbye to our Host mom. She gave us warm hugs and we decided to stay in contact with her. Then we drove to Clonmacnoise, where we paid for a guided tour, which was really interesting. Afterwards we went to the cliffs of moher. The view was stunning and we couldnt take our eyes off the waves crashing againt the shore and the Beautiful Green grass . We were all really sleepy when we got on the bus. After checking into the hostel, we went to dominos for pizza, which we ate on a parkbench. After that we bought some food and went home , where we talked to our Friends in the Kirchen. After everyone was ready for bed, juliane braided our hair and we had some intersesting conversations. Finally we went to sleep 🤞

(Ian and Dominik) Today we had to wake up earlier than usual because we had to pack our stuff. After a bowl of cereal for breakfast, it was time to say goodbye to the host family. They brought us to the bus and after everyone arrived we drove away.
One hour later we made a stop at a gas station. After another hour we stopped at  Clonmacnoise an old village in the heart of Ireland.
Then we made our way to the Cliffs of Moher. They were beautiful.
Then at 17:30 we went back on the bus and drove to Galway. There we checked in to the hostel and unpacked our stuff. Because we were starving we went to a fish and chips shop. After a delicious meal we went back home.

Today was the last day with our host Familie. At around 8:30 our busses departed and we drove to Galway. On the way we stopped at a beautiful little monastery. We stayed there for a little while and after that we drove to little cliffs. We walked around there for a bit and then we drove to the cliffs of moher, which are very beautiful. We enjoyed the wonderful sight for a while and then we drove to Galway. We checked in at the sleeping zone and then I went out with some friends to get something to eat. Then we went to bed.

Today was our last day at our host family. Our bus to Galway departed at 8:30. We had an old bus driver who loves to talk and he just couldn‘t stop doing it. Before we arrived in Galway we visited two famous sights of Ireland. The first one was Clonmacnoise which is a old monestery ruin. The second stop was at the Cliffs of Moher. It is a very special place with a undescribable view. The cliffs are arround 100 meters high. More over we made a cliff walk which gave us the chance to take a look at the cliffs from different views. Back in the bus we had to endure the infinit speech of the bus driver which drove us crazy. In galway we checkt in at the hostel and visited the small town of galway to get some dinner since we all were starving because we didnt eat a lot during the bus ride. Overall it was a „bus“y day🚌

Today was really long day. We woke up at 6:30 am, and then we had to leave directly. We don’t even had time to say goodbye to our host family. Our bus to Galway departed at 8:30. Our bus drive to our first stop took us nearly 4 hours. Firstly we visited monastery of clonmacnoise. It was pretty cold and honestly the tour was very long ..After visiting the monastery we drove directly to some cliffs. After that we went to the cliffs of moher. The cliffs of moher can be up to 120m high. We walked along the age. The cliffs are very fascinating. Lastly we went to our hostel for the next two nights. The hostel is youth hostel with mostly six bed rooms. After arrival we went so a Supermarkt and bought some sandwiches.

Ok, first of all, this is actually day 8, someone did something wrong, but nevermind. Our alarm didn't work, so we had to be quick, very quick. Sadly, we didn't have enough time to say goodbye to all host family members😢. When we were at the meeting point, we said goodbye to Nick and got into the bus and let's go. After a while, we arrived at a rest stop, did what you had to be done and went on. Another hour or so later, we arrived at the monastery of Clonmacnoise, where we had a visual audio tour, then a real tour and then some free time there. Hours of bus driving through the beautiful landscape of Mid and Western Ireland and interesting information-talking by the bus driver later, we firstly arrived at some 'mini' cliffs, where we took some photos and then about fifteen minutes later, we arrived at the Cliffs of Moher. We had the opportunity to buy souvenirs, but no one did, because they were too expensive. We first went to a tower on the right side, took some photos and then headed to the opposite direction (the cliffs of course 😉). About 30 minutes of walking nearly at the edge of the amazing cliffs later, we already had to get into the bus again. And by the way, during the two hour bus ride to Galway, we saw a double rainbow 🌈🌈. Anyways, after we arrived at the Sleepzone hostel, we split up into different rooms, ate some delicious dinner and went to bed. Phrases of the day : Slí Amách, Bogs, push him (don't ask)

Today our alarm did not go off so we woke up a little late and sprinted to our breakfast. Harry ( the 19 month old son) had to go to the doctor during the night witch was why we didn’t sleep too good. At 8:30 left and we started our way towards galway. On the way we visited clunmacnoise the clipps of moher and stopped at another cliff and a gas station to buy some food. When we finally arrived at the hostel we got our rooms and where then told when we had to go to bed. We went to get some dinner and are now preparing for going to sleep.

Our last day in Dublin was spend in Howth, not in Dublin. Howth is a small fishing village on a penninsula just outside of Dublin. But the main reason we went there was the walking tour around the penninsula and on a cliff. The views were absolutely beautiful and the weather was amazing until a short rain shower came along and we all got a bit wet. It was no problem though the sun came out a few minutes later.
After that Michi and Jonas eat some muscles. Michi really like then and ate all of them. Then Michi and I ate ate some thing else (he ate a burger and I ate some fish and chips.)
Then we went home and had to pack for pur journey to Galway. All in all it was a fun last day in Dublin.

Our morning started dramtic, we had to say goodbye to our host family. They gave us a last hug and brought us to the bus which was our base camp for the whole day. The Busdriver is an old patroitic and told us some stories about irish history and about the geography/sights we passed. Our first destination was the Clonmacnoise monastery. That at that's a ruin near a flooded river, which created a beautiful image. After a little guided tour and taking some pictures, we went to another picture worthy place: The cliffs of Moher! The beautiful landmass rises up to hights over 200 meters and we were lucky that the weather was good! Then we went onto another one hour drive to Galway and the day ended here in our quite tide but lovely six bed room in the hostel.

After that we visited an old cemetery of the Viking’s. Furthermore, we drove to the cliffs of Moher as per plan. There we had some free time and did a quick walk along the cliffs. The view was gorgeous. At 19:15 we finally arrived at our hostel. In the evening my friends and I ate out for dinner. What a very special day.

Today we had to meet up at 8:30 by the train station to visit a place called "Howth".
After a quick ride on the train we arrived and started walking up the mountain, that part wasnt the hardest one. It was the long hike along the side of the mountain, but the view made it atleast a little better. Half-way through we got a little break and it started to rain heavily! Everyone got wet, especially Jonas, but beacuse of the rain we took a shortcut to come home earlier. Home again we chilled and packed our stuff for tomorrow! For dinner we got a WHOLE PAN full of pasta, which was all gone in a few minutes. In the evening some of our friends meet us and we started wondering around the places. After that we ended our day with a good night sleep!

The day started with a bus drive to Raheny train station where we took the train to our meet-up point Howth train station as we took an earlier train we arrived about 30 minutes earlier and waited nearly an whole hour until the trip started the cliffwalk was pretty nice as the weather was fantastic until it started raining but as we were already at the way back to the train station it didn’t mather. Arriving at the train station we went straight back home to pack our stuff. And that was pretty much the last day in Dublin.

Today was really funny day. In the morning we had to get up fast because we had to get the first train. Before that, we had breakfast with our host family. While we were eating our food, we talked about the sea and things were going to see. Than we drove with the train to the meating Point. I think we were a bit late. But it doesn‘t matter. So the cliff walk was ok .As my hobby is hiking, it wasn‘t really challenging for me. Maybe I was a bit too fast for the teachers. After the Cilff walk we went home and had dinner and this was our day.

On our last day we woke up at 8 a.m and had a really nice breakfest. Then we got ready for our todays trip. We went to Howth. When we arrived by train we had to wait 1 more hour until the trip started, in the meantime we walked to the bay wich was pretty cool. After that we grouped up again and our walk on the small mountain started. At first the weather was great and it was really hot but suddenly it began to rain. The rain was a bit annoying but also kind of fun. We walked for 2 or 3 hours and after that we had some free time . In our free time we went back into the city wich was pretty fun. In the evening we had dinner at home and right after that we met up again with our friends.
It was a great day.

Now this was an emotional (a little bit) last day in Dublin. We were a bit late, but the teachers too, because they were in the same train. And the view out of the train onto the coast give you that North Sea feeling. Anyways, after we met, we had a litter break and then walked to the coast. After a while, we then began to walk around the cliffs of the peninsula, with phenomenal views included. But as soon as we began to come closer to the Baily Lighthouse, a huge rainstorm hit us. It was almost impossible to do anything and the risk of dying rose to maximum levels. Gladly, (as far as we know) no one (for now) died. But sadly... we didn't get to see the lighthouse 😭. After another long walk straight through the peninsula, we finally arrived at the meeting point, and after searching for a place to eat something ✨fishy✨, we decided to go back to the city and eat there (Recommendation : Harbourmaster). And as silly as we are, we wanted to buy some clothes or something, which is why we went to the Hard Rock Café, just to find nothing interesting and having to take a much longer ride back home, than before 😪. Nothing important happened after that, other than the dinner. The phrases of the day : dementia, one euro, lobster.
Goodbye Dublin 👋

Today we could finally sleep in... Well longer than usual anyways. When we reallized, we actually had plans for the day, we quickly downed a bowl of cereal and made our way to Howth. Howth is a truly magnificent part of Dublin, complete with a lively fishing village/ market, a port and the most gorgeous looking parts of nature you will see around here. After scouting out the area for some nice photo spots, all of us started to make our way around Howth. Although weather was more unstable today, we still spent most our time in warm sunshine. When the trip ended, we grabbed some of the best fish and chips we ever tasted from the matket and made our way home, to finally get some rest.

It's Saturday... our last full day here in Dublin.
We met at the train station of Howth at 10am, where we started our cliff-hiking-tour later.
First, the weather was very good. Not too windy and hot. The view over the cliffs was super nice and beautiful.
A little bit later, it suddenly started raining and wind came up. But... we wen't through it and finally reached the station of Howth again.
My friends and I disconnected from the group and decided to get lunch at Nando's again, just like yesterday.
Then, Markus and I (Laurin), rented a bike and drove in the direction of the port. We then returned to Connolly Station via a detour. Jan and Lukas were shopping in the meantime.
At the end of the day we packed our luggage and made a final short walk in the hood afterwards.

It was a very nice, interesting and unforgettable week here in Dublin.

We look forward to the last upcoming days :)

The day started with a later woke up then the other incredible days of the week in Dublin. At 10 am we met up with the whole group at the trainstation Howth. From there we hiked up to the mountain peak of the island where we got the greatest view. We also did a break on top of the island. Unfortunately it started raining, so we went back to the trainstation. After that we had freetime. Of course my friends and I decided to eat out the last time in Dublin. Michael recommended the very speacial Nando’s restaurant. It was very delicious, thank you Michael. In the evening we were enjoying the last few hours
and went back home. What a great time here in Dublin with my friends!

Today was probably the best day so far. At first we went to Howth by train and went with the whole school group to the seaside in Howth. We hiked on a cliff and the view was gorgeous. Furthermore, the weather was pretty amazing until we reached the summit. It started to rain and luckily I had my rain coat and my umberella with me. But even the rain could not ruin the trip. On the contrary, the rain made the day even more adventurous. We took a lot of pictures and enjoyed the whole trip. Afterwards we had free time and we decided to visit the Howth-Market with some friend and bought some delicious snacks there. We also went to a mall and then headed back home and enjoyed our time with packing and the host family.
We hope you will enjoy your remaining time in Ireland😁🍀

Today was a really lovely day: we got up at 8am and had some toast for breakfast. After that, we met up at the translation in Howth. First, we had some freetime - so we went to the beach and took some really nice photos. Then we went up the "mountain" (it's more like a hill, but the Irish people call it a mountain). The walk took us around 3hours, but it we had a really, really wonderful view and we took a lot of photos. The weather was also really nice; it was warm and sunny. At the time we were already walking back to the train station, it started to rain really much. We all got wet, but it was kind of funny.
When we got back to the train station we bought some cake, because we all were already really hungry. After that, we drove back to the city and spend our afternoon there. We ate our last dinner with the host family (spaghetti) and after that we stayed in our bedroom and watched a movie. It was a really lovely last day in Dublin.
Kisses, Nora and Linda

Today was an amazing day. We took the bus out of Swords to Sutton and then the train to Howth Station. This was todays meeting point. Howth is a small quaint town  and we enjoyed taking a look around and exploring it. Afterwards we went up the cliffs to go on a cliff walk. Everyone enjoyed the views , as they were phenomenal. The sea was coloured in a beautiful turquoise colour
,which looked amazing. Suddenly, as we were walking back, it started to rain. Still, it was a very nice trip. Back in the town we took the dart to the city with some friends and really enjoyed the last day in Dublin. We ate some lunch, went to starbucks and did a little bit of shopping. After getting tired we took the bus home and were greeted by our amazing host mom .
Peace and Love Felicia and Pia 💖

Our day started with a train ride to Howth🚃. There we visited the small harbor and went to a pretty market. There we bought our second breakfast, a piece of cake😋.The way up hill was beautiful but right by the cliffs it was indescribable. We enjoyed it very much and were all thrilled. Every minute we took a photo to capture the beautiful experience. But that changed very quickly. The beautiful weather with the blue sky changed to a dark gray and it began to rain heavily. So we all got very wet. So after the end of our tour we drove home and put on something dry again. Thereafter we drove into the city. That's where we sent our postcards. Then we went on to Blackrock. There we looked around for a moment and already went back home. So ended the last day with Carina and Lilo in Dublin.  :)

A boring day for me because I spent the whole day in bed. I recovered from my cold and drunk much tea. I got nice lunch and watched netflix.

We started the day early and met up at the spire at 9 am. A bus took us to a sportsclub. I couldn’t participate trying the games because I was getting a cold. First the others tried gaerlic handball which is similar to squash but without a rocket. Later a coach informed us about two other games. Gaerlic football and hurling. Later the others tried both of them. It looked like a lot of fun. Gaerlic football is basicly normal soccer without many rules and you can use your hands. Hurling is more complicated. They use rockets and smash the ball with it. After getting to know those for us new sports we had a short break and school. school was over at 5 pm. We drove home I took some medicine and fell into bed with my hurting thoat and a cold.

Let's reflect on todays happenings. We were pretty prepared for today, as we even got up earlier, so that we were able to collect a Geocache right in the morning. Maybe it were these unusual circumstances, of beeing on time, that lead to delayed teachers. Anyways our destination, Howth, is an animated city (there is one Bus stop and one trainstation) and has a booming fishmarket. There we enjoyed a hiking tour throght a gorgeous landscape with oceanic view on the isle. Yes, there were some times it showered, but eventually nobody died. After the regular activity we orderd some fish and chips, it showered and we made our way back to the hostfamily. Great day

Today was a really cool day. Today we got up at 7:30 am and then we took the train to Howth. Since there were not many people at our meeting point at 10:00 am, we were allowed to explore the island on our own for an hour. We decided to use the time wisely and went to the seaside. After everyone came at 11 o’clock, we could finally start our tour around the island. At the beginning we walked along the road, but as longer the tour lasted, the more shaky it got. The view was beautiful all the time, on one side you could see the sea, one the other side you could see meadows and rocks. After 1 hour we made a break, not knowing that it would  start raining in 10 minutes. It started to pour, but luckily it stopped to rain after 5 minutes. After we walked another hour, we ended our tour at 2 pm and then we were allowed to do whatever we wanted. We went eating fish and chips with some friends. After lunch we decided to go back home. After we relaxed a little bit I went for run and Alex went shopping. In the evening we had one last time dinner with our host parents.

This day started with good news: It was the last of language school;). We had a new teacher and played some funny games.

Afterwards we had a free afternoon, where we went to the Trinity College library. Have you ever been there? If not, it's a real must have! They have very old books from many authors around the world, but the biggest attractions are the Books of Kells. They are ancient religious books which were decorated beautifully. The only improvable thing is the ticket purchase: You have to get them online. Luckily, our teacher reserved them for us. Without this help, we probably wouldn't have experienced this.

After going shopping in the streets of Dublin, we took the bus home. Because of its unpunctuality, we got to know a really nice family and had an exciting talk on our way back. They told us about their move from Simbabwe to Dublin and more interesting things from their life. This was one of our highlights from our journey in Ireland!

Today was an amazing day. We took the first bus out of Swords and later the train to Howth. That's a small city next to the sea. There we met up with all the others from our class. At first, some time was spent with walking around this village and taking a second breakfast. Afterwards our teacher guided us directly to the sea and we went up the hills to see the clipps. It was an incredible view!

Unfortunately, it suddenly started to rain when we were on our way back. We had to hurry up and went quickly back to Howth, where we finally got released;).

In the afternoon, we enjoyed Dublin's beautiful inner city for the last time. Now on the bus back home, we are already missing this cozy and remarkable place and hope to visit it in near future again.

Today was not a really interesting day. In the morning we had breakfast and after that we took the train to enjoy the last school day. In school we had to write a blog post about the week in Dublin. After school we had a free afternoon. We went into some shopping centers and bought some presents for our friends and family. In the evening we drove back home, had dinner with our host family and went to bed

We grabbed something small to eat and spent a couple of hours wandering around the city and shopping.
We made our way back home at around 15:30. After we arrived we met with friends and played some football until 18:00. Then we got back home and had dinner.

The day started at 7 am it was time for breakfast. Then we went to the train station and took the dart to the spire where we met the group. Then it was time for school we played some games and did some work sheets. After that we had free time. A group of people including us went to a burrito shop and ate there. We had to check out a vintage store too and so we did. Then we went home, changed our clothes and went to the park where we played football. We went home showered, ate dinner and met some friends. That was today’s day!!!!!!!!

So, this was a very adventurous day. First of all, we had our last school session in Ireland (Goodbye, Jim), which was really NICE/LOVELY (if you know, you know). After that, we split up. Florian and Benjamin walked around the city, ate some lunch and then went to a MAGIC:THE GATHERING® tournament. Meanwhile, Vincent skipped lunch and headed directly to the National Gallery of Art, which wasn't that unique, but still worth a visit and had a cafeteria and a shop included (free entry, obviously). Then he met the teachers as well as Tim and Michi. They went to the National Museum of Archaeology, with archaelogical finds ranging from early bronze age to the middle ages. After a while, they quickly went to the National Museum of History. There you can find stuffed animals and other little insects, corals etc. Because we weren't able to contact each other, Vincent had to go home at around 5pm. After a while, the other two also came back home. The dinner was very delicious today!

In the morning we met at the Oscar Wilde Memorial just before our last school lessons started.
After class we took a bus, as usual, and drove to the north-western side of the city, that we hadn't seen that much of so far.
There we took a train back to the city center, where we decided to go to Nando's. That's a restaurant, which's origin is South Africa. They make excellent food, but it's also a bit more expensive than other local restaurants.
When we were fed up we went through the shopping street there.
Later on, we made a long ride to the very southern side of the city, called Seapoint. We had a nice view over the sea and the beach.
In the end we accompanied Jan home and drove home afterwards.

We look forward to tomorrow :)

Today was a very nice day. At first we had morning class, which was very interesting. We discussed a lot of great topics and did a lot of worksheets. After school we went shopping with some friends and we bought many gifts🛍. Then we decided to go to nanos and eat a little bit. Additionally we walked to two parks, which were beautiful and we enjoyed the great weather. Then we went home and ate a very delicious lasagne and had a nice chat with our host family. Last bug not least we finished and enjoyed our day by playing Monopoly.
We hope you will have a great remaining time in Dublin😁

Today was the last day of school. We had a different teacher today but he was a really funny guy and fun to listen to.
After that we had a free afternoon, so we decided to go shopping for some souvenirs and for snacks which you can't get back home. I bought a t-shirt and some Guinness glasses while Michi bought stuff for his whole family and he also bought hot sauces from Nandos. The problem with going shopping here in Dublin is that everything is so expensive compared to Graz. For example a scoop of ice cream here cost around five Euros in every ice cream shop!! But it's not just the ice cream, everythimg is very expensive, so I can't imagine how bad it is for the people living here long term.
Apart from the extreme prices, it was very windy today. The weather was lovely but the wind was so strong it could almost blow you away. I hope it's not that windy in Howth tomorrow (it probably will be).

Today was our last day of school at Babel Academy and we all really enjoyed todays class, as our teacher was super nice and funny. After class we made our way to urban outfitters with some friends . As it was recommended to us , we walked to nandos for lunch. We had chips, that were reallyy spicy because of the pepper they put on them or something ?, + haloumi sticks, which were delicious. Then we wandered around the city and the others ate some overpriced icecream. Afterwards we walked to the shopping Centre , where we went up to the parkdeck, which was recommended to us by a friend, to enjoy the view, though it wasnt to special. We then walked to the nearby Park, and watched the birds 🍀 After some time we went to our busstop, because we were freazing and went home. We got Pizza for Dinner, which was awesome.

Today we met up at 8:30 am at the Oscar Wilde statue.
After everyone arrived we went to the language school for the last time where we had a new teacher he was a very nice person who joked a lot and had good humor. After we finished language school we could choose between going into museums with our teachers or free time we decided on having free time. In free time we went to a restaurant which served good chicken. When we left we went and explored Dublin and some stores. In the afternoon we took a train to the seaside it’s quite windy there, but if you are dressed warm it’s not that big of a deal, then we took the train home again and had dinner at our host familie‘s house.

After the fifth and last class in language school a long free afternoon started. First we ate Burritos in the city. Saturated, we were sight seeing, shopping and visting the curt building, when it suddenly began to rain out of buckets. (Combined with strong wind, of course 😉) Luckily the heavy rain stopped a few minutes later. We went back home and met plenty mates at a near park. There we played football with some locals. So another day full of fun ended. Phrase of the day: no bother

Today we woke up at 7.00 a.m. as usual, had our usual breakfast and met up at the Oscar Wilde memorial for the last time this trip. In school we practiced some tongue twisters and held a quite fiery debate.
After school there was nothing planned, so we headed home to drop off our bags and took the train back into the city right after. We roamed the city for a few hours, grabbed pizza at a nice pizza place and bought some belt buckles for Paul and Moritz.
Afterwards we headed home and got some delicious dinner from our host parents.

Today was the last day at school and we had a funny teacher with whom we played "Hang Man" and other games.
Subsequently we had a full afternoon of free time which we spend in browsing around the city centre and buying some souvenirs for our family's and friends. We also got to taste the restaurant Nandos which was recommended us from Michi. It was a real success, although Carina ordered the spicy chips instead of the normal one😅.
Thereafter we went to buy some stamps for our postcards. As we finally arrived at the post office we couldn't help laughing about the fact that it only was open 24 hours because it was just a post box. 😜So we made a half an hour trip for nothing but luckily a few nice evening pictures.
Tomorrow we are going to visit the seaside and hopefully taking another great pictures.
See you tomorrow again 🤗.

Day started early in the morning with breakfast and reaching the trainstation earlier than the days before. So we were punctual at the spire. At 9 the guides arrived and we went straight to the sport club. There it started with playing some weird squash (gaelic handball) as its played without a racket. After that we had a instruction to the gaelic games (hurling and gaelic football). We also got to play both. So hurling is just icehockey on the green and with some weird racket. And even weirder rulings. Gaelic football is actually pretty weird but still fun. After that we went straight to the language school where we had to do a street survey. Eventually the classes ended and we got home to dinner.

Day five was really funny. After a quick breakfast we went with the train to the meating point. From there we drove with the bus to a Sports clup. Yes, we did Sports this day. We played the irish versions of football and  volleyball. In the afternoon we were at  school. The teacher gave us a really funny and interesting exercise. We had to interview strangers and we decided to Interview the about the high food prices in Dublin. After that we went home and had dinner with our host Family.

The started with a delicious breakfast like everyday. After that we quickly got to the spire, where we meet everybody else. Then we split in to three groups and rode to our meetkng point at a club to play the gealic games!! Overexcited, we were introduced to the three sports of the gealic games. They had Gealic football, handball and herling, which was my favorite one.
Nikolaus and I were really tired, but we still had to go to school, ugh. Before we went there Lukas and I got some Korean food which was totally worth the prize!
At school the whole class had to do a street survey, which was quiete the blast. Afterwards we wondered around the city and ate some dinner in split groups. I got a gift for my family on the way, I think it was a scam but I can't change that know.
Slowly but surely we started to go to a train station and ended our day!

In the morning we met at the spire. From there we took the bus to the GAA. There we learned about the history of the Gaelic Games and after that we also played them. It was very funny and tiring. Afterwards we had some free time and then school. I’m school we had to talk to strangers on the street about a specific topic, like a street survey. That was a real challenge because many people didn’t want to talk to us. After school I went into Dublin with my friends and got something to eat. So to summ it all up it was a very cool day.

Another great day and another delayed bus... wonderful. Today, we again met at the Spire,which is very(not) difficult to see. After a not delayed bus drive, we finally arrived at a place, where we would soon be playing the gaelic games called gaelic football, handball and Hurling. Very difficult combinations of other games and sports, but very cool. Sadly, the went by much too fast.

In the city, near the Oscar-Wilde Memorial, there was a food market with some delicious street food from all over the world. After a while, school began. We had to go on the streets and ask strangers some questions and observe pretty much everything. After that, we would compare our results and... that's all. Tomorrow will be the last school day in Ireland, so this is very exciting. Back to today, we didn't really do many more things after that. Just some walking through the city, playing in the park and enjoying the time here. Food was good as always. By the way, there was a word of the day : lettuce (just don't ask)

At 8:30am we met at the great Spire again. We took a bus and drove to the north side of the city. There we got teached how to play Gaelic Football, Handball and Hurling in a short crashcourse. It was really funny but exhausting too. When the course was over my friends and I went to Lidl to get something to eat.
In the afternoon we had class. We surveyed some people in the streets about Dublin and Irland in general.
When we finished school we decided to drive to the Google Headquarters of Europe. The design and architecture of the buildings were fascinating!
Later, we randomly visited the far north of the City, called Malahide.

We look foward to tomorrow :)

This day started very unlucky. We overslept the alarm and had to run for the last bus to the Spire. Being a bit late we arrived and directly commuted to a really big sports area located outside the city centre. The trainer there told us some interesting facts about the typical Gaelic sports and we also lernt how to play hurling, handball and football. Seperated in two teams we played on the fields and even though I did not expect that, it was fun!

After a very short lunch break we had afternoon classes. Our teacher decided to do some street surveys, which were really interesting. For example, we had a talk with two young girls who told us which app to use to arrive on time with public transport!

Coming home was as always a quite stressful activity. We managed to order a taxi but it didn't arrive on time. However, we were able to come back home and ate with our host family.

See you soon,
Paula

At 9 am we met us at the amazing spire. After that we drove with the bus to a football field where we played three different games. Then we got free time for one hour so we bought some food for the following hours where we had school. In the evening we just met friends. On our way home we missed the bus because the train got delay. That means that I wasn’t able to take a shower because we got home late. But that’s not all of it, our hostmother is also mad at us.

Today we got to know about the Gaelic games and we also were able to play them. We met at the spire at 8:30 a.m and hopped on the bus which brought us to the Gaelic games sports center. One of the club members explained us the rules of the 3 different games( gaelic football, hurling, handball). Later on we went on the pitch and tried our best. It was a lot of fun. (Except hurling it was kind of a mess as there were way too many people on the pitch) As soon as we were finished we made our way back to the city center to check out the food market. There have been lots of international food stores from all over the world. The smell was amazing. In school we met our new teacher Bryan who was way better than the other one. We had to do a survey on street in order to improve our social skills. After school we met some friends and had dinner at a burger restaurant.

Today we all met up at the Spire. After that we went to the Haelic games - there were tree types of games: squash, hurling and football - we all tried every single game. We liked the hurling best.
After the games we drove back to the school and ate our lunch in the park - there was a lovely food market, and we drunk coffee and ate some cake.
Then we had school: we had to interview strangers from the street and ask them questions regarding Ireland and the Irish traditions, as well as questions about Austria - it was quite funny, because only a few people knew, that we are speaking German in Austria. At 5:00pm we finished school and after that we stayed in the city for a while. Un the evening we drove back to our host family and ate dinner (some kinde of stew) with them. Now we are just watching some series and enjoy the rest of the day.

Today starts with the gaelic sports.
We played three games which are only played here in Ireland. The sports were Gaelic football, Gaelic handball, and Hurling.

After the gaelic games we had to find some food as fast as possible, as there wasn't a long time before the school was going to start.
We went to the foodmarket in the park, because this was the nearest place where we could find food. After looking around we decided to give the ' falafel and kofta'' stand a try, and we didn't regret it. It was very tasty.

During the schooll essons we did a street survey, which was interesting to interact with other people and speak about their view of politcal topics.

After school we waited half an hour for our bus to arrive which was full and we couldn't get on, so we had to wait for the next one. The problem was that the next two were also full, so we had to take a completely different bus. At the end it almost took us 2 hours to get home (it's normally 40 minutes).

Today we met at the Spire and directly head ti the gaelic games club. They taught us a lot about the different games and we also played matches, which was very fun. Afterwards we went to the food market in the park infront of our school. We tried some really delickous food and then it already was time for school. Today we had to do the street survey and it suprisingly was very fun. A lot of people were willing to take some time and answer our question. After school finished we went for a walk through the city with some friends and enjoyed our time😊
We wish you a great remaining time in Dublin

Today, we got up early to catch the train to the spire right at the city centre. After realising we could have gotten there without making a detour (and waiting) at the spire, we all took a bus to a gaelic-games club. There, we are greeted by an experienced  athlete whose mission it is to get us familiar with a variety of ancient gaelic sports games. Although we had great concerns at first, nobody was seriously hurt, and we all had good "craic" (Yes, I did look it up online). When we were finished with those games, we quickly took a bus back to school, where we undertook a street survey on a busy shopping street, annoying everyone in our path with a quick few questions...

It was the fourth day and the good thing was that we could sleep 15min longer yeaaaaaa! Nicolas and I were thankful for that haha. After breakfast and the train trip to the spire, we went as a big group for a small tour in the city center. We had visited two churches which were build up by the vikings before our group had the tour on the Jeannie Johnston boat. This boat is a historical boat! You ask why? I tell you. In this boat nobody died in the long journeys from Ireland to North America. It was used to save people from the big plague in where 1-1.5 million people lost there lifes. In the tour we learned all about the ship and the special factors which were important for the reason that nobody died. The tourguide was sooooo nice, funny and friendly and I have to say that is not a thing that you can find everywhere. In the early afternoon I went with some friends to KFC for a tiny snack. Meanwhile Nicolas went with Rafael and Maximiliam to a beautiful terrace with a gorgeous view over whole Dublin. Later in the day the school had started and and we prepared for the street interviews that will happen tomorrow. In the evening we had a delisious dinner and at 8 o'clock I met with some friends to take a walk. All in all it was an exiting day and I'll "see" you tomorrow!

Today the day started with exercise in the morning. We played the three Irish games, the Gaelic Games. ⚽️⚾️ All three are a mix of many different sports. For us, this was a completely new experience and exciting to try. It was a bit aggressive but it was a lot of fun. After a short break we went to school. There we prepared for a street survey. After the preparation, we went out of school and interviewed some people about public transport. It was really interesting to hear people's opinions. After school we walked around the city and explored new neighborhoods again and enjoying our time in Ireland.
That was another day with Lilo and Carina in Dublin.💫

As always our day started at 7 am. After a quick breakfast we ran to trainstation and took  the train to the spire. After everyone came, we took the bus at 9 am and drove to an Gaelic games club. At the Gaelic games club we were introduced to the two Gaelic games. The games are Irish football and Hurling. Irish football is nearly the same like football. Hurling is played with racquet and a hart ball that can fly 180km/h. After the Gaelic games, we took a bus back to the Babel academy. At the Babel academy we met our teacher Jim, he explains us what we are going to do today. Today we had to ask strangers on the street about a topic. Our question was ,, What would you do if we give you 1000€“. We chose this question because you can learn a lot about a character with a question like that. We even talked to people from Brazil and Chile. After school we went home with the DART. Alex stayed with some friend in town and Nicolas went for a run

So... back to keeping you folks updated. At this point we are kinda used to the routine of meeting at the Spire and walking somewhere. Today it happend to be the busstation. After a failed attemt to get the bus by one of our teachers, we were heading towards the Gallic sportscenter. Then an athlet, who meets at the club every week for the last 40 years to live his passion, gave us an introduction to the "tree" gallic sports. Afterwards we even played each one for like 10 minutes. The games were as chaotic as it could possibly get and they felt like mortal combat. To our surprise no one got injured.👍.
Then we finished our day with language school and legally anoyed people on the streets with surveys. 😃

Today we met up at the Spire again and then took the bus to a 🔥gaelic games Club 🔥 where they taught us how to Play the 3 Irish Games called the Gaelic Games . It was so much fun and cool to experience Irish Sport Culture. We both enjoyed it a lot. It was pretty aggressive though😃afterwards we took the Bus to the Babel school and went to the nearby Park to relax and have lunch with the other Girls. Today for school we (pia,Felicia,Linda,Nora)had to Interview irish people and tourists , which was a lot of fun and we met some cool people who were willing to answer our  questions. Afterwards we had to say goodby to our teacher, who had taught us for two days , which was kinda sad because we all really liked him. After school we wandered around the City with our friends and went into urban outfitters where I (felicia) spent some 😃 Money on a zip up hoodie. Right now were stuck on the bus , because there was an incident in the tunnel we have to go through. Were gonna survive though 🤞🍀

Today we met up at the spire in the city center. After a one hour of walking throgh the city and visiting some sights we came to an old looking boat. It was a reproduction of the jeanie johnston. The boat that helped the people to get out of the femine. Nobody ever died on the jeanie johnston. After the tour was over we grabbed some food at five guys and went to the language school.

The day started off by running late because the bus was too crowded to take in more customers. We met up at the shire to walk around a little bit. After some time we arrived at the Jeannie Johnson a boat that brought lots of Irish people to Canada/Amerika. It is special because no one died on it and was way cheaper than the other boats at that time. A guide showed us around and told us some facts. We had some free time afterwards got some food and went to a magic store. At 13:40 school started again. After that we went home by train to eat dinner before we went to the park nearby to play frisbee with Benjamin and Florian.

The day started with breakfast. Obviously we were a bit late. Although we ate it so quickly that we couldn’t go the stairs back up it was an easy to get to the meeting point in time. As we arrived in the Inner-city we walked around with our teachers and then it was time for the ship tour. The ship is called Jeanie Johnston and sailed to Kanada and Amerika during the great hunger. After that tour a small group of people went to the city and then it was time for school. In the evening we met some friends and that was our day!!!!!!!!

Today was the first day where school was in the afternoon instead of in the morning. So in the morning we went sightseeing. First we went to Christ Church, the oldest church in Ireland, and then we went to St. Patricks Church which you can see in the picture. They were both really big and looked really good for there age, Christ Church was constructed in the 11th century by the vikings!
After that we went to see the Jeanie Johnston, a sail boat which used to cargo and people from Ireland to America during the Irish famine. The amazing thing about the original ship was that nobody ever died onboard that ship during its voyages.

Today we've met at the Spire at 9 o'clock in the morning. It's a 121m tall rod which stands at the "main square" (O'Connel Street) of Dublin.
We started with a walking tour through the city to come across some sights, like the oldest and the second oldest church of Dublin. Both of them were built in gothic architecture.
After our short trip we walked to the Jeanie Johnson. That's a ship with a lot of history which is located on the east side of the city. A nice guide told us the story of the ship and gave us a little tour.
Asides from that, we could also see the Harp Bridge from there. It's a dutch bridge with an interesting architectural design.

In the afternoon we had 3 hours of class and later we took a bus, like always, to get to know some new places. This time we visited the south side of the city as well as the Aviva Stadium.

We look forward to tomorrow :)

Today we were waken up by the sun again. 🌞 We did a little city walk guided by our teachers to the two oldest cathedrals in the sauthern part of the city. Then we visited Jeanie Johnston. That's a replica of an original ship from the 19th century. At this time there was the great famine in ireland and by this ship many people were rescued and brought to northern america. Jeanie is the only ship on which nobody died. ⛵ Between that and another language school class we went upon a shoppingcenter and took beautiful photos of the great view of Dublin in the nearly cloudless sky. (Irish cloudless of caures) So it stayed for the rest of the day... Phrase of the day: slick

We woke up at 7 a.m as usual then we went down into the kitchen to pick up our lunch and had some delicious breakfest. After that we were heading to our meetingpoint for today wich was the spiral in the city of dublin. When we arrived our teachers announced the plans for today and we walked threw the city. We stopped by some old churched that looked really beautiful and took some pics. Then we visited the jeanie johnston ship and had a little history lesson about it. After that we went to our school and filled out some work sheets wich was really fun. At 5p.m school was finally over and we went straight back home to have dinner wich was really great.
Then we met up with our friends at a mall in the suburbs and stayed there till we had to get home.
In summary the day was a lot of fun and we also learned a bit about the history of dublin.

Today we met up at the spire at 9 am from there we went to 2 old buildings which originated in the time the Normans invaded Ireland after we went to on a replica of a ship which’s name was Jeani Johnston on which Irish people got transferred to North America and timber and wood were shipped between Ireland and Canada. The special fact about this ship is that on it 0 people died while on other ships a lot of Irish people who were hoping for better lives in North America died. After the ship tour we had free time and met friends.

After a looooong night and a delayed bus drive, we finally arrived at the Spire (not Sprite). It was so tall that if you wanted to take a selfie standing directly infront of it, the top would not be visible, because that thing is 120 meters or about 390 feet tall. Then we walked to the oldest church in Ireland (my boy sleeping jesus) and then to the St. Patrick's Park, where we've shot some class photos.

After walking about 5 kilometers, we arrived at the Jeanie Johnston replica. We're not going through all the history, but it's an interesting boat and it was quite fascinating to visit. In our free time, we got ourselves some lunch at visited a MAGIC : THE GATHERING® store (take that Maxi).

After a while, we had school, where we were prepared for tomorrow's street survey. In our left time, we either spent time in the park or relaxed at home.

So today we had bagels for breakfast and then got ready for the day. We took the bus to the Spire, where our meeting point was. After everyone arrived we visited two cathedrals, which were both exquisit🥰 we took some pictures and then headed to the Jenie Johnston museum, which actually was pretty interesting! While we waited for school to start we bought some donuts and went to Starbucks☕️ after walking around, school started, where we learned a little about Shakespeare and his plays. Afterwards we walked some more and then took the bus home. Dinner today was ravioli, which was delicious but our Host mom put a LOT of cheese on it, which was interesting ☕️ but not bad at all. Were ending the night with some Netflix🤞
Peace and Love Felicia and Pia ❤️

Our day started with a sightseeing tour to two of the oldest churches in Dublin. After taking some funny fotos there we had a short walk to a very special place connected to Ireland's history: The famine ship "Jeanie Johnston". The group had an interesting tour on the ship and the guide told us many facts about the past of the ship and its passengers. We were allowed to take some pictures too!

In the afternoon we learnt about English and Irish literature at Babel academy and also played some games with our teacher. Afterwards we went to the city centre and visited loads of cute little shops.

We are still on the drive home and excited for tomorrow.

We went to the Mangolian bbq with some friends as we had heard from our guide that we should try it. After lunch we decided we wanted to take a look at the southside of dublin to see where the wealthier people life. There we went to the local river to see the local nature. Then we headed straight to the bus station the be on time for the pub singalong. After the singalong at the pub we headed straight back home to reach dinner. So the third day came to an end.

So today was the big day. Finally we arrived in Ireland. We both have never been to Ireland so it was really special. The flight was very fun and the view was lovely. Then we met our host family. They are really nice and care so much about us. They have three little boys who seem very nice and another host student from Italy who also seem to be really kind. After arriving safely we decided to explore the surroundings and met up with some friend for lunch. Afterwards we decided to go into some stores which was really fun🛍In the evening we had dinner with the whole family which was really great. The food was impressingly delicious and we had a nice chat with the family. Later the family got visited by the sister and mom of the host mother. Fun fact: Her sister and me (Shari) have the same birthday😁.
We also talked with them about a lot of things and then we were allowed to taste some self-made olive oil from italy. The host student's family make olive oil and she broughg some with her. We tried it with bread and it was really tasty😋 The chat with the family continued for two hours. It was a really nice and enjoyable day
Have fun,
Shari and Eyleen
