School trip in Dublin3e - April 2023
Wednesday
arrival
First of all, we arrived at 9.30 at school and we took the bus together for two hours to go to Bordeaux, where we did all the check up and took the plane for two hours in a national low cost company of Ireland called Airlingus. But at the airport, we were shocked by a fight between a security member and a traveller. We arrived at 3pm at Dublin airport and we took the bus to meet our host family. We were lucky to have a very welcoming family with dogs and cats. We ate good food.
Thursday
Trinity college and irish dance
First of all, families showed the students the way to walk to the meeting point. We took the bus to Trinity College. It is the oldest university of Dublin, where we visited the old library. In this library we can find 200,000 books and the the most famous: The Book of Kells. It has been written by monks, a long time ago. Then, we had some free time to do our shopping in the Trinity College shop.
At 1 pm, we ate the sandwiches made by the family in Stephen's Green. A lot of students were attacked by birds. To start the afternoon, we took the bus again to an Irish studio. There, there were also Spanish students. We have listened to a man who played Irish typical music with his guitar. For example, he sang a song from U2. Furthemore, 3 women showed us some Irish dance moves and they invited us to join them and dance! We have spent really funny moments and met friendly people. Finally, we did some shopping during 45 minutes to buy gifts for our family. To end the day, we walked back alone in Malahide that is at 16 kms from Dublin.
Friday
Croke Park & gaelic sports
We took the bus to Croke PArk Stadium and we waited 45 minutes in the bus before beginning the visit. At first, we watched a film which summed up the story of Gaelic sports. After, the guide showed us all the details of the stadium: changing rooms, the lounge room... Mr. Maffioletti held the cup in front of the stadium. Then, we visited the museum and we played some games and simulator.
After, we ate in the bleachers, we played with a ball together. And just before we left the stadium, we played football with foreigners.
In the afternoon, we went to a sports centre and three coaches took care of us and they taught us Gaelic sports. We were separated in two groups and we played hurling, Gaelic football and Gaelic handball like Pelote Basque.
While we played hurling, Mr. Maffioletti fell on the ground because of Johan and it was very funny. In the end, the coaches gave us a gift: a key ring for all of us. Then, we took the bus to go back in our families.
Saturday
kilmainhan goal & EPIC museum
In the morning, the double-decker took us from our families. After 30 minutes, we went to Grafton Street to do shopping and we met supporters from Toulouse, they were going to see a match. We have taken the bus again to go in the Kilmainhan Goal. This prison is a former jail, before many people involved in the struggle for independance of Ireland were imprisonned there. With the arrival of the famine in 1848, thousands of people were stealing in order to be able to eat and many prisoners would deliberately be imprisonned because they could eat. After that, we went to the museum of the prison.
Then, we went to eat in the war memorial garden where a lot of boys played with the little green ball which was from the Gaelic sports and they put it in the water so Gabriel went in the cross where there were water to take the ball. Then, we took a group photo on the stairs.
After eating, we took the bus again to go to the Irish Emigration Museum (EPIC). We took headphones for the visit. The EPIC museum is located in the historic vaults of the CHQ building at Custom House Quay, EPIC the Irish Emigration Museum delves into the past of Ireland's diaspora in brilliant interactive detail. The state of the art visitor experience explores the inspiring journeys of over 10 million people who left Ireland's shores throughout history. After the visit, we drank in the hall of the museum and we watched a rugby match on our phones. Unfortunately, Toulouse lost. Then, we walked in the street to see the statue of comemoration of the famine. Finally, we took the bus back to our families. It was a very good day because it was interesting and funny.
Sunday
departure
We took a beautiful double-decker to do a guided tour. We saw a bridge which was called ha'penny bridge because people had to pay half a penny to cross it. We saw a big park which was called Phoenix Park with a cross and deers. It was amazing. In the park, there is the house of the Irish president and ambassador of the USA. It is two times bigger than Central Park in NYC. Unfortunately, we had to go to the airport to take the return flight and leave this beautiful country.
Thank you!
