Our best memories

During the trip, we enjoyed:

- Free time because we could do what we wanted.

- The party because it was funny and great.
- Maxou and Marion because they were cool.

   

- Meeting people our age from Nanterre.
- Riding in a horse-cart because it was interesting.

Friday

It's a pity, today was the last day for us in Ireland. We woke up early, at 7.00 am, one hour earlier than usual ( This was particularly difficult considering we had a party on our last evening and went to bed a bit later, but I think our pupils particularly enjoyed that last convivial moment with the group from Nanterre - Mrs Teyssières) 

 For breakfast, we had eggs and sausages and as usual it lacked of salt.

  We put our suitcases downstairs, everybody was sad to leave Cork and Donald and Breeda, and of course Darryl: he was so funny! Before going to the airport, we went to a sanctuary for donkeys. It was boring! I don't like donkeys. Fortunately we didn't stay long.

Now, we are on the plane and we are very excited. It's so amazing! Through the windows, we can see clouds which look like candyfloss. The problem is my ears feel blocked and it's very unpleasant!


  At around 3.00 pm, we will arrive at the Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport and after we will get on a bus which will take us back to our school :( where our parents will be waiting for us.

We can say that this travel was amazing, wonderful, beautiful...whatever, we will keep in our minds a lot of good beautiful memories! Thank you so much all!!

Thursday Afternoon

After we went to the biggest Irish shop , we visited The Prison of Cork.

We learnt people who were condemned were poor people, stealing Food or republican Irish rebels.

 We saw a film which explained how that prison worked. After we did a guided visit of Cork and we did shopping

Thursday Morning

Today was our last full day in Ireland. So baaaaaaaaad ! We were part of the last group to go to the milking of cows.

Anyway, we tried to enjoy the most that day.

So, first, we went to Blarney castle.

We climbed up this castle by stairs which were so small that we thought we would fall.But  we finally arrived to the summit, where some of us kissed the Blarney Stone (which is supposed to give you the gift of eloquence)
But it was rainy so it was difficult to take photographs.

 Then we walked down and got a shopping time in the" largest Irish store in the world " as the guide said, and some of us bought souvenirs or food

Wednesday afternoon

After the boat , we went to the town center of Killarney by horse-carriage.

We bought souvenirs ( T-shirts, posters, hats.... ) . Killarney is beautiful and the shops were really great, the weather was good ( for Ireland ) then we had a snack next to a four-stars hotel . The view was wonderful with mountains, lake, nature . Finally we came back to the center and this evening's activity is a karaoke party !!!

Wednesday Morning

On Tuesday evening we did  a musical blind test which was won by the teachers (I must say that we are really proud of ourselves! - Mrs Teyssieres) We think that this evening was very funny and mixing the two classes gave us a chance to know each other better. On Wednesday morning we had a hard time waking up  at 7h20 am for the rooms 3,5,11 who could do "the milking of cows". It was a very interesting experience  with some advice of our host. ( It was good but a little bit short).     
           

We had  breakfast at 8.15 am. At 9.10 am and left for Killarney , with pleasure, rain and in a good mood of course !! We arrived in Killarney around 11.00 am and we visited a modern cathedral next to a college , then we walked in  a national park as far as a lake near Ross Castle .
It was good  but it would have been better without our big friend :the rain!We took a boat around the lake and we saw some of the 26 isles that was great .

Tuesday afternoon

Hi! What did you do this afternoon in France ? What was the weather like ?
For us, this afternoon, we practiced a lot of sport like Gaelic football and hurling (very tiring!!) with a woman named Caroline.

We began with the hurling. We made some exercises with a little and very heavy ball, like a baseball ball(you know, it's very difficult for the first time!) We were lucky because the weather was cold but there wasn't rain!! Then, we made a match girls against boys and the girls won! After, we played Gaelic football.It's a mix of football, basketball, and soccer and  we used this time a different ball. We again made a match and the teachers played with us! When the activities were finished, we performed an Irish dance and we sang  for the owners. We had a nice day, we discovered the Irish culture.
