Ty trip Contd:
Tuesday- on Tuesday we got up at around 8am and had breakfast at 8.30am, we did wash up and then made sandwiches to bring with us. After that we made tracks for going to Dun-lewy and the Dun-Lewy crowd came to Garten. The bus ride to Dun- lewy was'nt very long and when we got there we said hi to everyone and then went to the shop next door. We then went to an education centre sort-of place which had a souvenir shop, a park and lotsa things. A man showed us how sheep wool was made in to string, he used a special machine to do it. it was really interesting. We watched a video-clip in irish about the history of ireland and the famine and st. patrick, then the same man showed us how to weave thread, it was really interesting to watch. It takes an hour just to do one inch! think how long it takes to do the whole roll.....
After that we went on a boat trip around a lake, the scenery was pretty. that brought us to a park which had pedoloe's, a bucking bronko and racing carts! Heidi, Greg and Kelvin went on the bucking bronko and Sandy and i went on the pedoloes! It was fun. We went back to the Dun-lewy hostel then, their's is so much more fancier than ours! We had lunch there and then got back on the bus to go to a Castle, which was amazing. It would have been incredible to live there! One of the room's, the blue room, was rumoured to be haunted..
When we got home we were all wrecked, no time to relax though! we had to prepare for dinner and then go to the ceili, which was back in Dun-lewy, again. We had curry for dinner and then got back on the bus to return to dun-lewy. The ceili was great fun! Locals played the music and taught us the dances and we danced the night away! :)
