The ploughing day and the mountain biking day



Ploughing Day

We woke up at 5 to go to the train station and take a train to Tullamore, where we got a bus that dropped us off in Screggan, where the ploughing event takes place.

The ploughing is like a tractor exhibition, but there are also many shops and lots of free stuff you can take.
The event is huge! We had a lot of fun, but it was also a bit stressful because it was so easy to get lost.

At 3, we took the bus and later also took the train to go back home.

The next day: mountain biking
The next day, we went mountain biking. First, we went to school, where a bus took us to a place in the mountains, where some instructors were waiting for us.
They explained some biking activities, and we started doing them. After practicing, they took us to the mountain bike trails.

The landscape was very beautiful, and I had a lot of fun mountain biking.

After that, we had one hour of class. Later that day, we went climbing and did some zip-lining after school. It was fun, but not as fun as mountain biking.

After that, we had dinner and then went to watch a hurling training session.

A long weekend

This Saturday morning, we went to see a hurling match at the pitch. The match was really exciting. Later that day, we went home to have dinner. At night, we went to see a concert by a traditional Irish music group called The Fógues . I loved the concert because it was something different. On Sunday morning, we went to see Darragh and Gearóid playing musical instruments. It was a commemorative event for the Irish people who fled to Canada many years ago due to religious problems. Their descendants, who migrated to Canada, returned to Ireland this week for the event. The event took place in a beautiful forest called Griston East. When we arrived, Laura and I had a cup of coffee. Later, we went to see them playing the instruments. Next, we went home to have dinner. After that, we went roller skating with some of the Erasmus students. We had a great time and really enjoyed it.

First, I woke up early to take the train from Charleville to Cork. When we arrived in Cork, the first thing we did was go to the Marina Market, which is a big market with lots of shops and restaurants. We had lunch there — I had a mix of potatoes and meat. After lunch, we visited the city center. We also went to visit a church, but since we didn’t have a tour guide, we just looked around. Later t...

The second day in Ireland

Image
Today we woke up at 7:00 to go to Limerick, a beautiful city where we had a lot of fun. Just as we arrived, it started to rain heavily, so we went into a small museum where we saw some amazing pictures. Later, when it stopped raining, we visited a house museum that had many historical items, and the tour guide explained all the historical places in the city to us. After visiting the house museum, we went to a very large market with lots of shops. Then, we went to a shopping center where we visited more stores and had lunch at a restaurant. When we returned to Kilfinnane, we went to watch a hurling match between two local teams. After the match, we went to one of the Erasmus student’s houses, where we had dinner and had a lot of fun playing some games. I really liked the city of Limerick, and I had a great time that day watching the hurling match.
