Hi Mom, I safely arrived my new host's home and met NoMi 
I'm sure we'll have a great time together!!!
I will send some pics soon. Take care :-*

As promised - here are some pics taken during my arrival 
It was so exciting to climb out the envelope and meet my new buddy NoMi!!!

First, I was a bit shy  Look, NoMi was waiting for me


But then I climbed out and was happy to meet him and my hosts!!

Hey yesterday we went to the gym for hostmum's dancing class. Here you can see NoMi and me waiting for the girls 


Where aaaaarrreee youuuuuu??? 

Hi Mum,

today, a new TV arrived. Her name is Viola and she's very cute and tiny.
NoMi and I were quite anxious to meet her 



And then finally she stepped out the envelope - look at this sweetheart:


We will guard her and we are really looking forwards to our time together! 


We are leaving to Ireland on Monday and I assume I won't upload anything more before departure.
But I will definitely announce myself once we're back at the beginning of October.

I love you, Mum. Take care! 

Hi Mom,

we arrived Dublin late in the evening on Sep 24. Look, that's my place to be for the coming days. NoMi, Viola and myself were dry and warm and had a fantastic view out of our travel-bag 

On our first day we travelled to Blarney, a town near Cork, located in the South of Ireland.
There you can find the famous "Blarney Castle" with his very famous "Blarney Stone"
The Blarney Stone (Irish: Cloch na Blarnan) is a block of bluestone built into the battlements of Blarney Castle, Blarney, about 8 kilometres from Cork. According to legend, kissing the stone endows the kisser with the gift of the gab (great eloquence or skill at flattery). The stone was set into a tower of the castle in 1446. The castle is a popular tourist site in Ireland, attracting visitors from all over the world to kiss the stone and tour the castle and its gardens.

This is the castle

And here's the stone:

We found this sign under the stone:

The gardens are beautiful 

And we walked around a huge lake (Lough Blarney). Viola, NoMi and myself liked the hundreds of waterlilies

Today we went to Mizen Head and saw the Atlantic Ocean!!!


Hey, can you see us 



Mizen Head (Irish: Carn Uí Néid), is located at the extremity of a peninsula in the district of Carbery in County Cork, Ireland. It is one of the extreme points of the island of Ireland, noted for its dramatic cliff scenery. One of the main transatlantic shipping routes passes close by to the south, and Mizen Head was, for many seafarers, the first (or last) sight of Europe. The tip of the peninsula is almost an island, cut off by a deep chasm, now spanned by a bridge; this gives access to an old signalling station, a weather station, and a lighthouse. The signalling station, once permanently manned, is now a museum housing displays relating to the site's strategic significance for transatlantic shipping and communications, including the pioneering efforts of Guglielmo Marconi. The "99 steps" which formed part of the original access route have been supplemented by a series of paths and viewing platforms.


Look Mum, the cliffs are impressing!

Woooooooaaaaaahhhh 

I LOVE THE ISLE OF BEARA!!! It's such a beautiful place. I don't have words...
The Beara Peninsula (Irish: Béarra) is a peninsula on the south-west coast of Ireland, bounded between the Kenmare "river" (actually a bay) to the north side and Bantry Bay to the south. It has two mountain ranges running down its centre: the Caha Mountains and the Slieve Miskish Mountains. The northern part of the peninsula from Kenmare to near Ardgroom is in County Kerry, while the rest forms the barony of Bear in County Cork.

Today we went hiking and Geocaching. Found it!! 

Here we are at the coast of Kenmare Bay


We went out hiking and found a small path to a stone circle


But first, we had to climb a huuuuuge ladder and you know what!? Tiny little Viola was the first one at the top 


The landscape was absolutely beautiful

Mom, I couldn't believe the story of Dursey Island and its cable car!! I really had to laugh out loud - look:

Dursey Island (Irish: Baoi Bhéarra or Oileán Baoi) lies at the southwestern tip of the Beara Peninsula. It is 6.5 km long and 1.5 km wide. The island is separated from the mainland by a narrow stretch of water called Dursey Sound which has a very strong tidal race, with a reef of rocks in the centre of the channel which is submerged at high tides.
The island is connected to the mainland by Ireland's only cable car, and the only cable car which goes over sea water in Europe! Dursey has no shops, pubs or restaurants. The population is about 6 people.

And you know what - they used the cable car to bring sheep to the island some years ago! 

WOW - the view at Moll's Gap was amazing!!
Moll's Gap is a pass on the N71 road from Kenmare to Killarney in County Kerry Ireland. The area is a panoramic spot on the Ring of Kerry route, with views of the Macgillycuddy's Reeks mountains. The rocks at Moll's gap are formed of Old Red Sandstone.
Moll's Gap is named after Moll Kissane.

Oh my goodness ... Glad we didn't find one!!! 

We went on a hiking tour round Muckross Lake in Killarney. The woods there must be hundreds of years old, the trees are so huuuuuge!!!
We stopped on the bridge between the Muckross Lake and Lough Leane to take a picture  - see below.

It's located in Killarney National Park. Killarney National Park (Irish: Páirc Náisiúnta Chill Airne) is located beside the town of Killarney. It was the first national park established in Ireland. The park encompasses over 102.89 km2 (25,425 acres) of diverse ecology, including the Lakes of Killarney, Oak and Yew woodlands of international importance, and mountain peaks. It has Ireland's only native herd of Red Deer and the most extensive covering of native forest remaining in Ireland. The park is of high ecological value because of the quality, diversity, and extensiveness of many of its habitats and the wide variety of species that they accommodate, some of which are rare. The park was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1981.
