Day 5 - Wicklow: Botanic Garden, Beach and Gaol

By Aitziber Pulido

Today, Saturday, we woke up at 7:30 to have breakfast. After the breakfast, we took the bus to Paddy's house which is located in Glendalough. There, we had a presentation about ecology and environment: past, present and future. There we've learnt many words and ideas we didn't know before. 

When Paddy finished the lecture, we took the bus again to the Botanic Garden where we've discovered many kinds of trees and flowers from all continents. In the picture we can see the 16 students surrounding a giant sequoia from the USA. 

After those amazing images of nature, we went to the beach, where some girls took a bath in the cold water. 
We had lunch there and then we went to an old prison in Wicklow. After visiting the scary prison, we had free time before lunch to buy some gifts.

Before going back to the hostel we visited the ruins of and old Viking-Normand Castle next to the see, where we 5 jumped for the picture.

Again and again, we had a wonderful day.
