Spring Break

Since the 5th I have been on Spring Break. I don't have classes until the 21st. With such a long break (2 weeks) I decided to travel. From March 6th to 9th I went to Edinburgh and Manchester. I flew out of Dublin on the 6th and landed in Edinburgh, Scotland. The flight was only 1 hour. On the 7th I took the train down to Manchester. On the 9th I flew back to Dublin. The flight was also only 1 hour long.

I spent a day and a half in Dublin before flying to Brussels, Belgium on the 11th. There I met up with my sister, who is studying in Florence. We took the train and spent 2 days in Brugges and a day and a half in Brussels. I flew back on the 14th at night. It was great seeing my sister. I started to miss home and seeing her was sorely needed.

This weekend I will be going to Galway, on the west coast of Ireland. I'm quite excited.

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day too so it should be a quite exciting day.



I'll post pictures another time and go further into details about my trip but here are just a few highlights of the different places I've been too.

Edinburgh

• Edinburgh Castle
• Meeting a UCD student on the free tour

Manchester

Brugges
