Me & Over Hundred Years of Germans On The Road

I've spend my last few days in a German speaking environment... My housemates Julia's grandparents came to visit her in Ireland so I promised that if they want we can rent a car and I can be the chauffeur driving them around. I was considering already buying a white shirt, black vest and tie plus of course a cap to wear while "working" as chauffeur but I have up my idea after all. And which made this whole thing interesting is that I don't speak German and they don't speak English so my Julia needed to translate some conversation (even that I have to say that don't remember when during my Erasmus year has been days that I have been speaking so little, good preparation for arrival to Finland :D ). Translating can be confusing once in a while at least that how I see it at those times when Julia talked German to me and English to her grandparents... But regardless of language barrier Julia's grandparents are lovely people :)

The trip was planned to visit in few different few places, one where I haven't been was the Powerscout gardens... voted no. three garden in the world by National Geographic. Very beautiful place indeed, huge area with different kind of gardens, Italian style, Japanese garden etc... Second place to visit was Howth, one last look sunny shining cost and once it was a day there without a wind! 

Another day we drove down to Waterford city to walk around and see some sights.. Since I've been there on January (when it was day full of heavy rain showers) I didn't enter the museum and took a cup of coffee instead, official coffee break of chauffeur.. Enjoy!

Then to Kilkenny where I received my last touch of Irish sun... As other were visiting the castle, I was just lying on the lawn taking sleeping, or at least that I was told when others pick me up while I wasn't completely awake... Another official nap break of chauffeur, it seem to be not that hard life after all. After these few days of driving in Ireland (which was really enjoyable again!) it is time to finalize my packing, put luggage on the car and head up toward Dublin airport, one last time.

Have to confess that my German didn't improve during these dates.. So maybe I'm just hopeless or then I just to be ready to give another try!
