Kursfahrt Dublin (09.10.-13.10.06)
Am Montag Morgen wurden wir von dem Bus abgeholt der
uns zum Flughafen
bringen sollte.
Nach einiger Zeit waren dann endlich die letzten
Passagiere, die sich noch
angeregt über den Flug unterhielten („Das hat aber ganz
schön geruckelt,
nech?“ „Jaaa! Das fand ich aber auch!“) ausgestiegen
und es konnte losgehen.
Der Flug dauerte zwei Stunden, doch auf Grund der
Zeitverschiebung waren wir
nur eine Stunde unterwegs.
In Dublin angekommen erwartete uns eine etwas
heruntergekommene
Jugendherberge, doch wir ließen uns von den Pilzen die
sich überall
ausgebreitet hatten, nicht die Laune verderben und zogen
los um die Stadt zu
erkunden.
Am Dienstag trafen wir uns, um zum Kilmainham Jail zu
laufen,
wobei Einige Probleme hatten sich Herrn Heines
Schrittgeschwindigkeit (von
c.a. 40km/h) anzupassen.
Im Endeffekt schafften wir es dann doch noch vollzählig
dort anzukommen und
die Führung anzuhören.
Nach der Besichtigung ging es weiter zur Jameson
Distillery, wo uns der
Prozess der Whiskey Herstellung nähergebracht, und eine
Whiskey Probe mit 4
Schülern veranstaltet wurde.
Anschließend begaben wir uns gemeinsam zum General Post
Office, von wo aus
wir uns in Gruppen auf den Weg machten um einzukaufen, zu
essen, oder zu
schlafen.
Mittwoch war eine gemeinsame Wanderung in Howth geplant.
Auf unserem Weg wurden wir ständig von einem Hund
begleitet den wir „Bruno“
tauften.
Nachdem Julian sich noch ein kurzes Bad in der irischen
See gegönnt hatte,
brachen wir bald auf um zurück nach Dublin zu fahren was
uns dann nach dem
dritten verpassten Bus auch gelang.
Abends, nach dem Fußballspiel trafen wir uns in einer
Cocktailbar.
Am nächsten Tag, Donnerstag, machten wir uns auf den Weg
zum Trinity College
um uns „The Book of Kells“ anzusehen und
unternahmenvon dort aus eine
Stadtführung mit Herrn Heine.
Am letzen Abend gingen wir gemeinsam Essen und besuchten
anschließend eine
Karaoke-Bar – ein sehr gelungener Abschluss für eine
sehr gelungene
Kursfahrt.

9.10.06- 9:30 Schulparkplatz: That is the moment we've all been
waiting for. Our trip to Dublin begins. We start our trip on
Monday morning at the school parking lot by entering the bus which
headed for Hamburg airport.
Abflug Hamburg Airport
Our flight to Dublin airport departed at 16:30 and we arrived
17:30 GMT. From there a bus took us directly to our youth hostel,
where. The first impression of Dublin was reinforced by the
setting sun atmosphere.

After the distinguishing discovery of a "real"
mushroom (not just fungus) in the boy's bathroom, we headed off to
Temple bar-a very famous part of Dublin because of the many plus
there are- to get some dinner. We walked through the city for
first time and it was an impressive first night.

On Tuesday morning we met at 9 o'clock to walk up to Kilmainham
jail to have a tour through it. The Kilmainham jail is an
important place concerning the revolutionary history of Ireland.
After having seen the harsh living standards of prisoners by that
time we dedicated ourselves to the fun part of the day -The
Jameson Distillery. We were introduced to the procedure of making
Irish whiskey. But the most important and really fun of it was the
tasting of Jameson Whiskey afterwards. Four students were selected
to compare different sorts of Whiskeys [Scotch (Scotland), Jim
Beam (U.S.) and three different Irish Whiskeys).
After having picked Jameson Whiskey as best of five, they received
a certificate.
We then walked to the General Post Office and headed off in groups
to experience the beautiful city of Dublin. We did some great
shopping in stores like Pennys, H+M etc.

At night we went desperately trying to find a club called
Whoolshed and arrived there 6 minutes before closing time. It was
raining very badly and we were soaking wet.
On Wednesday we went to a cliff walk in Howth where we met Bruno
our friendly guiding dog. During the walk Julian Stolte had a bath
in the Irish Sea after sightseeing an awesome landscape all around
the cliff. Then we were looking around in the Howth harbour and
some ate the traditional fish and chips, with salt and vinegar. In
the afternoon we went back to Dublin city to buy some souvenirs
and to go to Aldi to buy things for dinner.

Julian schwimmt, brrrrr
In the evening most students went to Whoolshed again to watch
the German soccer game "Slovakia vs. Germany" and were
happy about the German victory, especially since an English guy
sat with us and him being sad about the English misery. The whole
group met in a cocktail bar afterwards and spent some quality time
together.
Unverkennbar: Dubliner Pub
Thursday morning we walked to the Trinity College and we had a
look at "The Book of Kells". From there we made a city
tour through Dublin city and Mr. Heine showed us important
buildings, important people and other sights of Dublin. Our tour
ended at the Dublin castle were we also split up to get to our
last things settled for our flight home.
At 7 o'clock the whole group went to dinner together. We ate in an
typical American restaurant called Thunderroads with live music
and great food.

Then altogether went to Whoolshed again, were on Thursday night
there is a Karaoke.
Julian and Sarah did "Something stupid", Dunja and
Miriam "let it be" and Miriam again sang "father
and son". It was a great evening and the pub was loaded.
Karaokebar (with a real daredevil ;-)
The next morning we packed our stuff and got ready to fly back
to Aurich.
It was an awesome and interesting trip and Mr. Heine showed us
very nice places and he found a good balance between free time and
activities.
