Irish food


Irish food was a new experience for all of us.Ewe expected a worse thing but meals were not bad.

The meal times were very different from Spain:
Breakfasted was very early. We had milk, cereals, toasts, fruit and orange juice at around 8.00am.

Lunch was limited: two sandwiches, a chocolate bar, some fruit, crisps and a bottle juice. We had it at 1.00pm.

Dinner was the closest thing to Spain but it was early because we had it around 7 pm: pizza, chips, burgers, pasta, curry, eggs and bacon.

There are other food typical
not tested as Irish stew and tee

THE TRIP

We met on Friday 6th at 7 o'clock at our high school. We took the bus to Malaga airport. The trip lasted for three hours. First, we checked-in our luggage to get our boarding pass. After, we went through the security point to catch the plane to Dublin. When we arrive we took a bus to Galway. We made two excursions: at Aran Island and Cliff of MOHER.

A week later, we took the bus on Friday 13th at 2 o'clock to go to Dublin. The trip lasted for three hours. On Sunday 15th at 3 o'clock we took a bus to Dublin airport. At 6 o'clock we took the plane to Malaga airport. The trip lasted for three hours. Finally, we took the bus to Caniles, where we met our families!!
