We’ve just left Galway this morning and we’ve arrived to Dublin at 09:55, the capital city of Ireland. After arriving we have met our hotel, the Arlington Hotel, that is on the river Liffey. Then we have visiti some local shops, as the Carroll’s Irish gift stores and the Celtic Whiskey shops, where we have bought some clothes and whiskey.
We have had a fast meal in a park with some sandwiches.
After having a walk and visiting some capital monuments, such as the Guinness museum, Molly Malone statue and the Dublin Castle, we have bought some tickets for a tipical irish show.

The show we have seen is “Irish Music and Dancing Show: Dublin’s Best Show”. It’s been amazing both, the show and the dinner. You can watch a part of it in the next video:

SECOND DAY IN DUBLIN
As we were tired, we have woken up late, so we couldn’t do anything interesting in the morning. Early in the evening we have had lunch in the hotel and then we have taken a city tour that has shown us the capital city of Ireland.
We have had an amazing weekend in Ireland and we are so sad we have to leave it so soon.
Hope you will visit it sometime.
Bye,
Haitza and Bego.

We’ve just arrived to Galway, one of the most amazing place in Ireland.
Galway is a large county divided into two contrasting regions by the expanse of Lough Corrib. To the west, lying between the lake and the Atlantic, is Connemara – a region of superb scenic grandeur dominated by the rocky mountain range known as the Twelve Bens. A great many of the inhabitants are Irish speakers, and much of the ancient Gaelic culture is preserved., East of Lough Corrib, a fertile limestone plain extends to the Galway-Roscommon border and the River Shannon. Galway city with its seaside suburb of Salthill lies south of the lake. It is an important tourist centre and a gateway to the scenic areas of the country.
In the morning, we’ve visited Galway Bay. It is a very quiet place, the people it’s so nice and in general it’s a so beautiful view. We’ve spent all the morning in a cruise that has taken as around the Galway Bay.
We’ve taken a little lunch in the boat. We’ve eaten tipical irish food, such as “Steak and Guinness”.
In the evening we’ve walked around Galway visiting many shops and we also have visited the Richardson’s Pub, a tipical irish pub.
Now, at night, we are taken dinner in the hotel and we are going to go to bed soon because tomorrow we are leaving Galway early.
