Biking in Phoenix Park

Today we have changed our program, at first there was a visit to the National Museum of Decorative Arts but we have done something completely different.  Our group leaders, Sílvia and Pilar, have organised a wonderful excursion by bike to Phoenix Park.  We have been cycling for an hour and a half and we have seen some parts of it.
The Phoenix park at 707 hectareas is one of the largest enclosed recreational spaces within any European capital city. It is larger than all of London's city parks put together, and more than twice the area of New York's Central Park. The Park is located 2,5 km west of Dublin City, is bounded by a stonewall 11 km in length and has 22 km of roads. 
In the park there are different buildings, one of them is  the house of the president of Ireland, the USA embassador's residence, the zoo, the Ratra house and much more. There is a herd of 450 fallow deer, but we haven't seen them, maybe they were hiding from the sun.
In the evening, after having supper there was a live music concert playing U2 songs, we didn't like it very much although Sílvia and Pilar said the band played well.
We've having  lots of fun and we don't want to come back home.

  2. Woow, good day doing some exercise. I wonder that few girls of the group are not so keep on cycling, but hope were improve in this hour and half. What about the weather? I think you all have better weather than we here in Terrassa, as last afternoon rained a little while you were cycling under a sunny day.
    Have fun!!

  3. Hello everyone,
    This bike ride seems fantastic!, perhaps better than the visit to the National Museum, isn't it?.
    Sílvia and Pilar, I like U2 too, but for our sons this music is absolutely unknow, I'm sure that you enjoy more than they the concert!
    We hope more news.
    Too many kisses,
    Francesc and Mercè

  4. Hello everybody!!!
    We are delighted to read your posts, we enjoy them and have fun.

    About the bike trip, everything was fine; at the beginning some people were a little bit afraid but they ended up racing fast, happily and skillfully.

    About the music band, most of the songs played were unknown to the students, moreover they also like another kind of music, You should have seen them dancing the previous night at the disco!!!!
