Happy end
At this picture Ela and me are saying goodbye to a wonderful day in Malahide.
strong germans...
And between the whole bunch of shots Mr. Lehmann took, there is one I like at most. It shows a man standing there on the ground just like a rock, like an indestructible tower. Wouldn't you agree this is the coolest guy ever seen on earth?! Mmmuuhuuaahaahaaa - I'm just kidding.
Cheeeeese :-))))
Of course we weren't able to continue our trip by boat. So we had to walk back. On the way to the village Mr. Lehmann took a lot of pictures - and I took one of him!

stranded
After a while in the middle of the see we were caught napping by the ebb. Beneath our boat the water was getting less and less, so that we grounded in the end.
ebb and flood
Alright, we've been to the castle, but Mr. Lehmann was crazy about more adventure. He wanted to see it all. And so he made some phone calls and short he organized a trip for us on a boat.
Malahide castle - for some people an amazing place
After a two miles walk we got to see the gorgeous Malahide castle. When Mr. Lehmann saw it he couldn't believe his eyes - a real castle! He said to me: "Hey Sascha, that's exactly what I need on a Saturday afternoon. This is amazing, this is incredible."
Just have a look at the picture and you will see how happy Mr. Lehmann is (first one on the left side).
We're not alone
15 minutes later we arrived in Malahide. Of course accidentally we met some friends of mine at the train station. Jacquie from Belgium and Laurant from France decided to join us on our trip.
Mr. Lehmann from Jueterbog
Last week Mr. Lehmann was on a visit in Dublin, because his girlfriend Ela is living here for a 2 months period. Of course we made a little bit sightseeing with him. Here you can see us in the Dart (train) on the way to Malahide.

Monday 3.27 am
Our bell rings 10 seconds at a stretch. I wake up and take a look at Gordans bed - he is not in. Of course not, he is the reason the bell rings. My roommates come home from the pub! A few minutes later they enter our flat and the party goes on in the living room. Johanna and Steven aren’t tired at all; they turn on the music and start dancing. Gordan is hungry, so why not cook anything. They laugh and sing and dance together as if it would be the most normal thing on earth in the middle of the night on a Monday morning. No wonder why, they are still drunken :-)
I lie in my bed with a smile, because I know that it won’t take a long time and the situation should be solved by my other flat mates. And it comes as expected – Johannes and Cicilia get up and tell the other three guys to be quiet - no more music, no more cooking, no more dancing in the night.
Altogether I didn’t really care about anyone’s behavior. I had to get up at 4.00 o’clock anyway. For me this situation was just one more funny moment in my life.
Sunday evening
Well my friends, I think it is about time for a new story made in Ireland, isn't it? Only pictures can be very boring by and by. So here it begins:
Sunday, 10.00 pm:
Gordan and me have just finished playing chess together (Gordan is my roommate) and I’ve lost again. Anyway, it is time to go to bed now. Then Gordan says to me: “Hey Sascha, we go to the pub with Johanna and Steven. You wanna join us?” (You should know we are six people in our apartment: Johanna from Sweden and Steven from Ireland, Johannes from Austria and Cicilia from Italy and finally Gordan from Croatia and me, Made in Germany.) I replied: “Oh better no Gordan, thanks for asking. See you tomorrow!” Five minutes later I fall in sleep…
