Ferns castle & Irish National Heritage Park
The two hours on the bus were long for the people who couldn't sleep, and because there was a problem with the air conditioning, that made the trip hot, difficult and long, but we arrived safe and sound.
Our tour guide in Ferns Castle, Jazz, was very nice and tried to make the visit very interesting.
In the Irish National Heritage Park, we were tired, and we had to walk for an hour, and listen to the guide through all the stages in the Park, but again we were lucky and it didn't rain while we did that!

Killiney Hill
Th views from the top are amazing and as the day was clear and sunny we could enjoy them a lot. Besides, we met there with an Irish boy, Emmet, who worked in Clen College some years ago and his girlfriend, they are very nice, and the group had the opportunity to speak to them. It was Friday evening after work, that's why I want to say thank you very much for coming!

After lunch we went on a sightseeing tour, the tour was interesting, but the guide with his strong accent from Northen Ireland, a little bit difficult to understand.

Mikel's impressions
Hi my name is Mikel. This month I have travelled to ireland and in this little time I have passed here I had time to do a lot of things like have lessons, but not normal lessons, beacuse I have a great time I have made a lot of friends and I'm learning a lot, for example, saying new things. In the afternoon we have sports and recreation and we do sports indoor and outdoor, like football indoor in the football field, tennis in thr courts or in a wall, like squash, and always with my friends.
Other days we have trips to important places in this time we have visited Howth, where we ate the famous fish and chips, the Guinness factory , St. Patrick's cathedral , Dublinia , Glendalough, and all of then great places!
My host family is great, I have one brother and one sister and I have two italian students. Today we are going to Dumdrum one big shopping centre.
The beach
Here the plans change depending on the weather.This week I had planned to activities, going to the beach and going shopping. The shopping day was going to be on Thursday, but when I saw in the weather forecast that on Thursday we were going to have a sunny day, and Friday rain, I change the planning, Thursday was the beach day.
And yesterday we went to the beach, the place chosen was the Forty Foot, but it was packed, and we went to a bathing place close to it. The kids were brave enough to have a swim in the really cold sea, and when they were dry, we walked to Teddy's a very famous ice-cream shop in Dun Laoghaire, where we tried the 99.
Thanks we did that yesterday, because today it's raining as the weather forecast said.

Impressions by Carmen
I met some Italians in my class and they went home on Tuesday, so I was sad because they were really friendly.
I like chatting with my family, I think I learn the most with them because I have to say everything in English. They listen to me, and I'm very comfortable in their house. I love being here!

Glendalough is a beautiful natural park, we walked a lot and we took beautiful pictures.

Welcome to UCD
Huge, this place is huge, it's difficult not to get lost in here the first time, but it's a beatiful place, there are lots of green zones and even a lake!
The best thing is that you feel you have more freedom because to go from a building to another you have to walk quite a lot!
The programme is full of activities with lessons in the morning, sports in the afternoon and fun activities in the evening, there is no time to be bored!
