Hey :)
I hope you've all had lovely Christmas
holidays with your families and friends! I had a very nice time! But now- back
to work ;) I decided to plan a ten-day trip to Ireland in the Easter holidays
so here we go...
As the assignment says, the trip to Ireland will last 10 days with a budget of €2000 including all the things needed.
Since the flights are the most expensive
part of my journey, I've looked up the cheapest offers on the internet. What
I've found is €500 for outward and return journey. Concerning accommodation,
I'll make sure how much I will need when I decided on where I want to go and
what I want to see. However, I prefer to stay at Bed-and-Breakfast and which
makes you more independent as you don't need to be back at a certain time but
you can decide on your own where and what to eat for lunch/dinner. For sure I will also look for hostels as this
is almost the cheapest form of accommodation. As students pay less for entry
fees, I won't include a lot of money for this. I will definitely go a long way
by train because there surely is a reduction if you are a student.
I am planning to go by plane from Graz to
Dublin because the price seems quite reasonable to me. I want to visit Dublin
because we learned a lot of interesting stuff about that city and many
important historical events happened there. I want to spend around 4 days in
Dublin and I would like to see both the most known sites as well as insider
places. Easter surely is a nice period for strolling around the city center and
for relaxing in Phoenix Park. Maybe there are some platforms on the internet
where I can meet other young people who will be in Dublin at Easter so that I
can go for a Guinness with them ;-) Anyway, you experience foreign cities much
better if locals show you around than wandering round with the tourist book in
your hands.
After Dublin, I'm staying 2 days in Galway. Some of my class in
school went there and they all were enthusiastic about that place. Besides,
Galway is anyway said to be a popular tourist destination and I've seen
numerous impressionable pictures of it. I read that one of the reasons why
people like to go this place is because it is possible to visit everything by
walking which is definitely more exciting than going on a tourist bus and
besides, it is very economically ;-)
I would really like to visit Killarney
because of its amazing national park and the center which can also be visited
by walking. As this town isn’t large, I will have seen the most important
places within a few days, so I’m staying there for one night to travel on to
Cork.
Recommendations in the internet claim that the third biggest city of
Ireland has very talkative people and you can walk while visiting famous sites.
I will stay there for 2 nights for having enough time to stroll around and to
enjoy the nice ambience the city provides.
After Cork, I will go back to Dublin to
catch my return flight to Graz.

As I've never gone to Ireland, I hope some day I can make use of my plannings :-)
