Shower in the 'Fountain of Youth'



This week we went to Carlingford on Monday and Tuesday. We had a very early start, we all had to be on the bus at 7am. We arrived in Carlingford about two hours later where we were assigned to our rooms and then went straight to the beach to put our wet suits on and get into the water. I was in group B. This meant that I did kayaking it was lots of fun even though we were not able to go in a straight line. When we were finished we had lunch and had some free time.
         After lunch group went to the laser lane where we were given our camonesies (camouflage onesie) and we headed up the hill with guns in hand which may have scared a few of the local people. When we reached the top of the hill we had lots of fun trying to shoot each other. After laser tag we went down the hill to have dinner. We were all were very hungry so we couldn't wait to get our dinner. We then had free time until 7 which was when we were going to do our next activity, nightline. Nightline was when we walked up a hill in the dark while being blindfolded. We had one hand on the shoulder of the person in front of us and held onto a rope with our other hand. It was very fun but also very scary.
     The next day we were up bright and early to go back into the water. This time we did canoeing. This was very fun we went out to the sea trampoline where we jumped into the sea. After this we went to the 'fountain of youth'. We climbed into a dark tunnel where we had freezing cold water thrown over us. We then tied all of the boats together while Peaches, one of the instructors brought us back to the shore with the speedboat while we sang a song about a bird with a yellow bill.
    After lunch we went to the challenge course, this was about team building. I thought that it was very fun. After our challenge course we sadly had to go home. We all got on the bus and made or way back home.
        The next day we were all very tired and had very bad colds but we luckily had a day of workshops which was a lot of fun. We had an etiquette workshop, a personal development workshop and a workshop about work experience which I will be starting next week, I am very excited and nervous for it .
 We also went to NUI in Maynooth where we had a presentation about our mini company. I am very excited to get started on that aswell.
