First Monday




Today we didn’t go to school because we had a trip to Fitzgerald’s Woodlands Hotel.
When we arrived, the first thing we saw was a small farm with donkeys, goats, and ducks.

Later, we went into the hotel, which was really nice and big.
A tour guide gave us a tour of the hotel and started to explain where they get the energy to make the hotel work efficiently.
The tour guide told us that they use over 1 liter of water every minute, but they also use a lot of renewable energy, like solar panels.
They also have a very large organic garden where they grow much of the food used in the hotel restaurant.

After seeing more parts of the hotel, we had lunch.
Later, we took the bus and visited more places, like Adare a big town with beautiful gardens.
We also visited a very nice ruined castle.

After all that, we returned to Kilfinnane. I had dinner and then went to watch the hurling training.

I found the hotel’s sustainable management very interesting.

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.
