Today we had a really long bus ride to the Cliffs of Moher and eventually we met our host families in Dublin. At 8:30 a.m. we left the Dawson Hostel and took a two hour bus ride to the Cliffs of Moher. As we got off the bus we immediately were impressed by the height of the cliffs. Unfortunately there were many tourists but nevertheless it was a beautiful place. There they also had a small movie theater and you were able to watch a short film that told you a bit about the cliffs. In Shannonbridge, a place in the middle of Ireland, we visited an old monastery where we had a tour guide who explained the history of the buildings and cemeteries very detailed. Then we took a three hour bus ride to Dublin where we met our host families for the first time. For us the host family is perfect and we didn’t have any problems. They were very helpful and immediately showed us how to get to the train station so that we can get to school. Right when we arrived at the house we got something to eat and the family was really surprised by the gifts we brought for them.

All in all it was a long but exciting day. We really like our host family, they’re really nice and friendly and hope the other families are as well.
