Saturday Day Tour

On Thursday Margaret, our cantact person in Dublin, asked us if we wanted to make a day tour to Glendalough, Wicklow and Kilkenny. So I wrote a mail to all and collected all OKs. A day after Margaret booked the tour for us.

Today in the morning we started short after 8 o’clock and headed to Nassau Street to the bus stop. There were already some people at the sign for our tour. After a few minutes 2 busses arrived at the bus stop and the coordinator told us that our group will take the 2nd bus. The guide of our bus told us some nice things about Dublin and the county around Dublin. We were on the way to Wicklow and the awesome landscape of Glendalough. It is totally different to the rest of Ireland.

Glendalough

Totally breathtaking.

The next destination of our tour was Kilkenny with it’s also awesome castle. I didn’t went in but the view around the castle was also nice. A huge park is behind the castle were you can relax. Sadly I didn’t managed to go to the cathedral because we were a bit in a hurry.

But one thing in Kilkenny totally made my day. There is a little shop at the river. I didn’t went in but I still wonder what I could buy there.

At around 18:00 we arrived in Dublin and went back to our apartements.

Friday

Yesterday was the last day at work. This day started not so good because I was tired from the last days. So I went to the busstation and was surprised how few people want to go to the university. At work Damian had the task for us to gather some information about outdoor Access Points. He want to establish a wireless connection for the medical devices at a field. He don’t know how big the field is, so it can be between a little court and a big soccer field. So we gave him the information and he left the work. Because Jannik and me had no other work to do we decided to go home. At the way back home we stopped for a little shopping tour. But it was a disaster. I found nothing to buy. But more on that later.
At the evening my roommates and myself went to the Botanic Inn, a popular pub for young people. After I entered the room a smell of piss crawled into my nose. But we decided to stay and hoped it would be better. It was actually better because the door at the smoker room opend very often and this „room“ was only a door outside. After two Budweiser for myself and one more or less for the other we went cheerfully back home.

Second week at work

Hi guys,

yes, the week is done, and I tell you today, what happened on my work.
On Tuesday have I got my new PC, now I can faster work :mrgreen:. The true reason was, that I have stole a other employee his desk.
So, I have on Tuesday and Wednesday my PC set up. Now can I work with Linux (XUbuntu in detail), that is very good.
