Trip to Ireland - 11th April by Marina Gotsens

Monday 11th April

We depart from Dublin and make our first stop at Monasterboice, a monastic settlement dating back to the year 501. This ancient monastery is home to Ireland's best preserved and finest place. It has a cementery with giant Celtic crosses, but I don't like the cementeries although it also has a monumental fully intact Round Tower.
We went on our trip along Northern Ireland, although there weren't any customs between the two countries. When we arrived in Belfast, it was raining and we did the world famous Black Taxi tour to view the Peace Wall and some of the famous political murals.
We saw lots of murals and each taxi driver was a guide and explained us the history of the terrorism in Belfast. From time to time all the taxis stopped and one of them was the guide to explain the most important murals and the most recent ones. we started watching the murals that Protestant people drawed in the walls of their area to protest against Catholic people terrorist acts in Shankill area. Later we went to Falls Road and we saw paintings that showed the opposite, The Catholics against the Protestant terrorist acts and other problems of war in other parts of the world reflected in those wall paintings or murals.
We ended the visit of murals in the four miles wall peace where we wrote a good desire to stop this war between both communities and the peace in general of the world. It was a very tall wall that split both communities that they don't trust each other.

At the end of the visit each driver showed us the highlights of the city including the magnificent City Hall where we took nice pictures, Queen's University, the famous Albert's Clock, we saw the Botanic Gardens greenhouse at the distance and much more all of it interesting and beautiful places. We spent our free time at the Victoria Street, one of the most important comercial streets of Belfast and all about the city centre, I only bought a few souvenirs there. That night we stayed in the charming University Quarter hostel.

DINGLE-DUBLIN

SATURDAY, 16th April 2016

We woke up at eight, we had breakfast and got ready. The previous night we went to sleep very late because it was the last night that we stayed in a hostel. The next night we had to spend it at the airport.
There was a typical Irish pub in our hostel and it had a karaoke corner where we sang some songs together.

Then when we had all our suitcases prepared we went to the bus. That day we travelled from Dingle to Dublin.
By the way we stopped a lot of times. We crossed the Cork and Derry mountains and we spent a part of the morning in Adere. It's one of the most beautifull towns  with their old houses, whose roofs are made of  straw.
We had some free time to have lunch in a big shopping centre called Barack Obama Plaza.
After lunch we visited the Golden Val, which was fantastic green farmland with many animals there. A marvellous place to watch from the bus for a long time .
When we arrived in Dublin we went to visit the Guiness storehouse, the teachers were invited to a Guiness beer, as they are adults, but we couldn't do so and instead we drank any drink such as a coke or water. Then we visited the city by bus, a kind of sightseeing tour and we  finished our trip where it started in the first hostel. We left our luggage in a room, and then we went to the city centre all together on foot and we had some free time to buy souvenirs, food (our dinner) and clothes.
Then we went to the hostel to pick up our suitcase and a bus was waiting for us to take us to the airport. There we spent our last night. We had dinner there and we waited for the time to do our check-in and cross the passport control. Once inside, although it was 4'00 o'clock a.m., it seemed it was a common day, as all the shops, cafes, were opened, and lots of people were going from one place to the other as it was 11'00 a.m.

FRIDAY, 15th April 2016

We woke up at 7a.m. after we went to have breakfast at a common room with a kitchen in our hostel. At 9 a.m we got on the bus and we went to Killarney National Park. We spent a few minutes on the bus with the mobile phone,taking photos, talking with friends,etc. When we arrived at the Killarney National Park, we did a tour on a horse carriage. This was my favourite tour, as the park was amazing. All the park was green, with a lot of trees and a lot of different types of animals. We saw reindeers. It was wonderful.

After this we had lunch and bought some souvenirs.After we got in the bus, we went to Dingle. Dingle is a coastal town with a little harbour and coloured streets. In Dingle we did a boat trip and we saw Fungi, the dolphin who lives in the Dingle peninsula. And we saw Fungi many times. It was wonderful because it was very playful. He jumped lots of times in front of us. I think this tour was very funny.

In the afternoon we visited all the Dingle Peninsula and we saw some wonderful cliffs to the sea, mountains with cattle, and everything was amazing!I want to see these cliffs again because I really enjoyed the wonderful views for many hours.

When we finished the tour along the cliffs we got in the bus and we went to a new hostel, as it was different every day. We had a delicious cheese hamburger with chips and icecream. This hostal was my favourite one, because there was a pub. After dinner we went to the pub and sing some songs at karaoke corner. It was a fantastic day! I enjoyed a lot!

 
He is Fungie, the most playful dolphin!
