 IRISH BLOG: CLIFFS OF MOHER AND SURFING

Of course we could leave Ireland without seeing its most emblematic and iconic place. Unfotunetly, the day didn´t turn out as good as we wanted. It was really windy, cold and humid. This accentuated the closer you got to the cliffs themselves. Nevertheless, that didn´t stop us to see this wonder of the natural world.

     

      Right after we had seen the cliffs, we went directly to a nearby town, called Lahinch, to have surfing practicing. The thing is, it was so cold that the mere idea of getting into the sea terrified all of us. Some people even rejected the opportunity in order to keep themselves warm. However, we got used to the freezing temperatures much quicker than we thought. The surfing courses itselves were really good, I would love to do them again. They taught us progressily how to catch a good wave and the basic mechanics, all the way to standing up on the board and surfing propperly. Then we got a quick shower that felt amazing, got changed and went to a close cafe. After all that, I bought a very rewarding hot chocolate.

  IRISH BLOG: 1º TRIP: LIMERICK            Right away, on our second day, we went to the nearest big city: Limerick. The single act of driving there already took one hour. When we arrived, we were showed the typical things a big historical city like itself had. A case in point, the longest river in Ireland, Shannon, goes through the city. From a near park, we had and incredible view where we could see both the river and the castle.                   After a bit of walking, we eventually started seeing all the stores. As we walk, surrounded by these, we realised we were entering a market. As expected, we quickly saw a circular estructure. Of course, it was the nucleus of the market.            The way back seemed a lot slower than the first drive, maybe because we were too tired to acknowledge the time...

Conclusion

THE IRISH BLOG: THE CONCLUSION      Looking back to it, I can confidently state that this trip has change my life in a good way. It is an opportunity that I think every young lad, if they has the chance, have to try. I'm  very thankful to the Erasmus+ program, I'm very thankful to all the teachers that organised the trip and I'm very thankful to my centre for having given me this great opportunity. I hope that this program keeps going for all the years left, so this chance can reach as much people as possible. If any Young student is seeing, go for It, you won't regret It.

2º trip: The Ploughing

  IRISH BLOG: THE PLOUGHING COMPETITION.       The Ploughing Compitition, or Ploughing for short, is a tournament of, you guessed it, ploughing. It took place far from us, like an hour train journey.        There were so many tractor all over the place. But altough the ploughing itself could have been cool, we went because all the shops that they set up at the competition. And, lucky us! We had the opportunity to be there, beacuse its only once a year. Moreover, we had the greatest weather that we could have had. Usually, the place its very muddy due to all the rain. But while we were there, the previous days were really sunny, so the event was really enjoyable.        The competition normally has around 60.000 people that go, mainly for the shops. The trick to atract so many people are the prices and the free samples. The clearest example is O´neails. O´neails its a hurling shop, the biggest...
