the 7th and 8th day

Today we got up at 7 o'clock to be ready for breakfast. The last time we get this breakfast here in Ireland! :-)) The last toast with marmalad or jam, the last time haveing cornflakes here with our host family.

Finally we caught our bus and went to school where we met our teachers and friends. It was again great fun, we played games and talked a lot. We also gave a book about Carinthia to our teachers. It was in German, they tried to read it, but it sounded very strange.
We also got a certificate for passing 15 hours in the Atlantic Language School.

After school I and Katrin went to the "schoping street" to buy some souveniers and took the next bus home. As we arrived at home nobody was there, our host mum was gone to do the shopping and pick up the children from school. So we had to wait.

We used the time to go fore a walk. It was very nice. We went along the streets and finally we discovered a parc there we sat on a bench and chated for about an hour. Than we decided to go back, as we arrived the house Tamara was already wating for us.

We just went around the corner as our host mum passed us with the car.
In the afternoon we relaxed and talked a lot. Because we can't see that toast anymore we were very hungry. The dinner was great, we had rice with souce and some meat.

As our siutcases were packed we relaxed again and prepared for our long journey to Austria.
It was heavy raining when our host dad took us to school, where we spent the evening.
Together with our friends and teachers we watched films, played cards and drunk some coffee to stay awake.

At about half past one we left the school and went by bus to Dublin. In the bus nearly everyone was sleeping at least for an hour. At 4 o'clock we arrived at Dublin Airport. After we checked in and passed all the security controlls we had breakfast. Allthough we got lunch (toast) we bought something "normal" to eat.

Finally as we all were already sitting in the plane and waiting for 1 hour, the pilot told us that there is a problem with the plane and we have to move to another plane. So we did. It took us again 1 hour.

We were all looking forward to arrive at home in Austria. Fortunatelly all our luggage has arrived at the right place so we could enter the bus with which we went to Carinthia.

It was very strange. The cars on the right side, everybody talks German, the busdoor on the right side of the bus...
Arrived at home first I ate some Carinthian food and drank very good water, unpacked my suitcase and than I went to bed and slept untill Katrin woke me up late in the evening.

All in all I had a great time in Galway the weather was fine, the food was good (but definitely too much toast) and the host family was nice too. I really want to go to Ireland again.

Sigrid
