On Saturday morning at nine a.m., we met in front of the ITT Dublin in order to board the chartered bus that would bring us to the North.
The atmosphere on the bus was frolic and reminded me of long passed school trips. Especially sharing the back row with Tom and Chris, which made us known as „The Backseat Boys“ throughout the society, added to this impression. Diesen Beitrag weiterlesen »

A few hours ago, I arrived back home from our first trip with the International Culture Society, which led us to Northern Ireland. I just went over a huge pile of photos and prepared some posts that I will publish in the course of this week.

You’ll see some pictures that might arouse the deep desire to visit Ireland. You have been warned!

Yesterday, Natalie, Tom, Chris and I took the bus 75 from Tramway Court to Dun Laoughaire. It took ages, but I think it was worth it: the port is beautiful, includes a yacht club (Tom: „St. Tropez in Ireland“) and you have an awesome view on Dublin bay:

The next weeks should be fun: I just signed up for the trip to the North that is organised by the International Cultural Society (InCuSo). We’ll leave Tallaght on the 25th and plan to see Belfast, Bushmill’s Distillery, Giant’s Causeway, Derry and Lough Erne in the following two days.

This coming Saturday, I’ll meet Chris, Tom, his girlfriend Natalie, who’s here for some days and Lukas/Klaus. We’re going to take the bus to Dun Laoghaire (pronounced a bit like „Dun Learie“), which is at the Southern end of Dublin bay, and plan to spend another nice day next to the sea. Maybe we’ll go to Bray, which was praised by my house mate Peter this morning, too.
I hope that the pain in my left knee is gone by then…

Sunday afternoon, I met Chris, Tom, Stefan and Lukas/Klaus in the Luas to Connolly station, where we took the DART train („bring your own oxygen!“) to Howth, an old fishing village located on a small peninsula north of Dublin. The 380 cents for a return ticket turned out to be a good investment. Diesen Beitrag weiterlesen »
