The first day, we went to visit Dublinia. Dublinia is a museum which shows three exhibitions: The Viking Dublin which tells the story of their first attacks against the Irish monasteries, and also talks about the end of the Viking Era after three centuries; the Medieval Dublin talks about the insanitary life of the poor people in the city because they didn’t have a sewer system. And in the end, The History Hunters where you can see how the archeologists sought for the remains of the old civilization.
At the end of this museum, there is a bridge which connects the building with Christ Church.
Later, we went to Saint Patrick’s Cathedral and we saw one chorus singing and some relics in the church and we ate in a very beautiful park next to the church.
In the afternoon we went to the The Trinity College, one impressive university with a spectacular library which keeps the the Book of Kells, It is 1000 years old. It contains the Four Gospels in latin.
The second day we went on a tour to Wicklow with a bus driver who told interesting things about Dublin and Wicklow. Wicklow is a mountain area with magnificent valleys; there, a lot of movies are shot. Films such as PD: I love you. Sally Gap and Lough Tay trace out the Wicklow mountains. Later, we went to Glendalough, which is the most important place of monastic’s ruins in Ireland. I liked Glendalough's round tower because it was used as a refuge to peasants when the Vikings attacked; the assault of the tower was a difficult venture. This place also has St. Kevin's Kitchen; it is believed to have ghosts and a cemetery.
