Always ready for new adventures!

Monday, February 6th, we went to Bray.

This city is situated in the Southeast of Dublin next to the sea. We went there on the morning where we did a hiking. We had to walk until the summit where there was a cross. Everyone succeeded to go up despite some rock at the end of the slope. When we arrived there, we had a wonderful view on the sea but also on different mountains. We could see the sea as far as the eye can see. We also could sit down to build up our strength. Then, we continued to walk and what you need to know is that we did some sport challenges. For instance, it could be jumping-jacks. We also saw cows on our way, they scanned us very carefully. We had to go down a big slope. To finish the hiking, there was a barrier which prevented us passing so, each one passed one by one almost over the barrier. Then, we ate our lunch prepared by our host family and we left this place to go to Powerscourt.

We went to Powerscourt estate and went in the garden, it was beautiful and the sun was shining. We saw a traditional japanese garden and big sequoias, we also saw the pepper pot Tower and we almost saw the sun set.

We visited the Jeanie Johnston ship, the second day, after the Epic Museum. Thanks to the guide ( he was very nice ), we learnt how the Irish people left Ireland during the famine and what were their living conditions in the ship. The boat transported 200 persons on one travel, and the Jeanie Johnston ship did 16 Atlantic crossing. In this boat, there were no deaths and one baby was born, thanks to the very good doctor Richard Blennerhassett. The price of one ticket was 3 pounds on the other boats, the ticket cost 6 pounds so it was very expensive for the Irish people.

The Jeanie Johnston ship is a beautiful boat and the guiding tour was very cool, it was a very good visit.

We really liked this walk because we saw lots of beautiful views.
We did many sportive challenges which were really funny. We saw some animals like cows, penguins and lots of birds. We climbed a mountain, it was very hard.
