Sophie's Birthday in Dublin

Dublin ... again :D

Bonjour mes amis :)

Today I'm going to tell you about yet another weekend in Dublin. This time we all came up to celebrate Sophie's birthday together.

It all started on Friday, when I made my way up to Navan, where I visited Nadine. Some of the teachers were going to the Hill of Tara (the seat of the High King of Ireland) for coffee and we were going to join them. So after we strolled around Navan for a bit, we walked to her school. Waiting for the others to leave, we went to the music room and practiced a few German pop songs. Then we drove to Tara Hill. The food in the restaurant we went to was delicious! The art teacher, who had absolutely amazing paintings in her car, brought us up to the top of the hill and we wandered around for a bit. It's an amazing view up there and I can imagine how the High Kings of Ireland must have felt back in the days. At the same time it's very quiet and to be honest, it is not as impressive as we expected. In the evening, we had a quiet girl's night in, put on make up, took pictures and watched Irish reality shows.

The next morning, we had a nice German breakfast and around noon we met Lena and Isabel in Dublin. After deciding back and forth, we went to Bray, which is a nice town south of Dublin right by the sea. Unfortunately, it was really really windy walking down the promenade and on the way back we got soaking wet because it had to start raining. Luckily, we had spare clothes and could change. In the evening, we met Sophie and other friends of hers for her birthday dinner. We went to a delicious Vietnamese restaurant and had homemade cute Minion cupcakes for dessert :) 
We went out that night to the oldest bar in Dublin, where Sophie received all her presents at midnight. Afterwards, we went to a cool bar that was like a pub and disco at the same time. We had a lot of fun dancing and went home eventually with tired feet and happy thoughts :) 

The next morning, we met up with Paul's sister for breakfast and strolled around for a bit. Then, it was time for me to head home since public transport to Cahersiveen isn't really great :D 

That's it for today, the next post will be all about the February midterm break with lots and lots of new stories :) 

Take care and thanks for reading!
