One week for the start of a second
semester and "studies", so what to do? Chill out at home, stare out
of the window and do nothing --> No way! Or then with my housemates Julia, Mélissa and Laura we came
up with an idea to rent a car for 4 days and discover some Ireland --> Sounds
much better!
First I have to
admit that I was a bit excited about driving on the wrong side of the road
because for some reasons Irish and British have decided that they want to be
different than other Europe by driving on the wrong side (and by saying wrong I
mean left side). The car we had was a black Opel Corsa, which I decide to name
"the buggie" because the car looked small and somehow the name just
did fit for it. :D
On the first day
we did head up for to direction NE from Maynooth, first to the site
"Battle of the Boyne", the place where armies of King Willian &
King James fought against each other in the year of 1690. Over 50 000 men
deployed on the battlefield which makes the largest number on troops ever
deployed on an Irish battlefield and there we were, just walking over the same
field which was once covered in the smell of gunpowder. On the way back to
Maynooth we stopped in the town named Trim to see "the legendary
braveheart castle", but after a quick visit we decided to arrive back there
again on Friday for one special reason...
