„Travelling. It leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.“

(quote from IBN Batutta)

21st of April in 2018:

InternEurope offered us to join a Tour to Giant’s Causeway. Allen’s Tour arranged this. I get up at half past seven a.m. to prepare some modest lunchboxes. I didn’t have many groceries in the fridge, but there isn’t much space left to store the food. That’s a shame because I didn’t want to spend much money to eat outside ^^‘

Giant causeway tour

Today, the Giant causeway tour, organized by Interneurope, took place. That’s why it was time to get up early because we had to be at the bus at 9:30 am. Our tour took us along the coast of Northern Ireland, making a quick stop at the King William III Monument and then driving through seven out of nine „Glens of Antrim“ (These are small villages located on the eastern coast of Northern Ireland). After we stopped for a snack, we arrived at the main attraction: „The Giant Causeway“. There we climb the hills and mountains, enjoying the landscape. Together with Son, I also went on the unofficial way to get the perfect view. „Giant causeway tour“ weiterlesen

The Giant’s Causeway tour

Although it was Saturday, I got up very early because today we have a tour to the Giant’s Causeway with Intern Europe. After all the things were packed, we went to the office of Intern Europe. From there we all went to the bus and then the tour started.The way to the Giant’s Causeway took about 2 hours and on the way we could see many interesting places. The bus driver was very friendly and had a lot of jokes and puns in stock. „The Giant’s Causeway tour“ weiterlesen

Giant’s Causeway Allen’s Tours

Day 21 21.04.2018 Saturday

 

One week ago Intern europe invited us to join their tour to the Giant’s Causeway with “Allen’s Tours – (Giant’s Causeway Tour | Belfast Bus Tours | Private Bus Hire Belfast)” for 14 pound. We met at 9:30 a.m. in front of the intern europe office and walked to the bus which was at the Allen office in Belfast. Inside of the bus it was very hot because the air conditioning system didn’t work. So instead of a climatized bus we had a sauna.

We visited many sites of Northern Ireland. We reached our main destination “Giant’s Causeway” after 3,5h of the bus tour. Beforehand we visited the “Carrickfergus Castle”. But it was only a small stop for 20 minutes. After that we went over the Magheramorne Quarry which is a known location of “Game of Thrones” because they filmed their scenes for Castle Black, Hardhome & the Wall there.

The busdriver always spoke to us on the way. He talked a lot about the history of the areas, always mentioning “Game of Thrones” locations and making jokes. „Giant’s Causeway Allen’s Tours“ weiterlesen

Ramen Dinner

Day 20 20.04.2018 Friday

 

I don’t know if this is normal in Ireland, but our radiator was still on all night long. The weather yesterday/today was already so hot that I couldn’t wear more than a shirt and shorts. And it was still to hot for me. Because of the weather and the radiator (which we can’t switch off) it was like a sauna in my room this night. I don’t understand why we can’t adjust the timer or the radiator ourselves.I woke up very often this night because of the heat.

At the office I prepared some Wap for the site which is going to get redesigned next week. They need a hostname, an image and a label as well as to register themselves in our system. After that my department manager showed me some settings at cisco prime. „Ramen Dinner“ weiterlesen

„All the flowers of all tomorrows are in the seeds of today.“

(Chinese proverb)

20th of April in 2018:

A busy week at work is over, and I had a lot to do. But I don’t mind. I get a lot of benefits. I remember all names of my colleagues (32 persons within this week but it was nothing comparing to the 45 names, which I memorise at my first work), get to know them better, get some information about IT employment market and received some excellent tips for my Belfast stay.
I also have to say, that three days in follow, there wasn’t any raindrop or similar. Sadly, I started to enjoy the rain here.

To the dentist and enjoying the sunshine

First, I just wanted to say that all the pain on my body, through my first fitness exercise on monday, has finally disappeared today. On the way to work, I looked up into the sky and saw that it was very nice weather and the sun was smiling. Arrived at work I was greeted very friendly by Keith. Like me Keith was in a really good mood because of the good weather. „To the dentist and enjoying the sunshine“ weiterlesen
