Znamenitosti

Danes smo se prvič peljali z dublinskim dvonadstropnim hibridnim avtobusom, zato smo se kot se spodobi, usedli na vrh avtobusa v prvi dve vrsti in občudovali pokrajino Dublina. Med vožnjo smo ugotovili, da je 99% hiš za bivanje v predmestju dvostanovanjskih. Po 1 uri vožnje smo se sestali s profesorji in našo vodičko Rafaelo pred narodno knjižnico. Po nekaj minutah hoje smo prispeli do Saint Stephen's Green centralnega parka, ki je eno iz med največjih znamenitosti mesta. V parku je bilo zelo prijetno vzdušje. Ljudje se ob lepem razgledu na zeleni park in toplem soncu pogovarjajo, nekateri na travi meditirajo, drugi pa se sprehajajo ali pa telovadijo. Po končanem ogledu parka smo se napotili skozi nakupovalno ulico proti Temple Baru, eden izmed večjih in znanih pubov v Dublinu. V pubu smo si ogledali tradicionalno notranjost, katera je nabito polna z razno pijačo, irskimi zastavicami, podstavki za pivo in oder za živo glasbo. Med drugim sem opazil, da ima ta pub tudi Guinnessov svetovni rekord za najdaljši maraton v igranju kitare. Odpravili smo se dalje. Vodička nas je peljala proti Katedrali Kristusove cerkve, ki pa je žal nismo mogli obiskati, ker je bila zaprta. Nato nas je lakota pregnala picerijo Sano, kjer me je fascinirala hrana in ambient. Iz pritličja lahko skozi steklena tla gledaš, kako se v kleti pripravljajo pice, ko pa se odpraviš proti stranišču pa greš skozi kuhinjo. Polni pice smo se odpravili proti zadnjima postankoma, preden smo se odpravili domov, in sicer muzej umetnosti, ter muzej zgodovine. V muzeju zgodovine nismo našli veliko zgodovini Irske, ampak večinoma samo nagačene živali. Za konec smo si ogledali še muzej umetnosti v katerem najdemo veliko slik o Jezusu in slik ljudi višjega sloja Irske med 16. in 19. stoletjem.

Today was our first ride on Dublin's double-decker hybrid bus, so as it is proper, we sat on top of the bus in the first two rows and admired the scenery of Dublin. During the drive, we realized that 99% of houses for living in the suburbs are two-apartment. After 1 hour of driving, we met the professors and our guide Rafaela in front of the national library. After a few minutes of walking, we arrived at Saint Stephen's Green central park, which is one of the biggest attractions of the city. There was a very pleasant atmosphere in the park. People are talking while in the beautiful nature of the
green park and the warm sun. Some people are meditating on the grass, while others are walking or exercising. After visiting the park, we headed through the shopping street towards the Temple Bar, one of the larger and famous pubs in Dublin. In the pub, we took a look at the traditional interior, which is packed with various drinks, Irish flags, beer coasters and a stage for live music. Among other things, I noticed that this pub also holds the Guinness World Record for the longest guitar marathon. We went further. The guide took us towards the Cathedral of the Christ Church, which unfortunately we could not visit because it was closed. Then hunger drove us to pizzeria Sano, where I was fascinated by the food and atmosphere. From the ground floor, you can watch the pizzas being prepared in the basement through the glass floor, and when you go to the toilet, you go through the kitchen. Full of pizza, we headed to the last stops before heading home, namely the art museum and the history museum. We didn't find much Irish history in the history museum, mostly just taxidermy mount. Finally, we visited the art museum in which we find many pictures of Jesus and pictures of people of the upper class of Ireland between the 16th and 19th centuries.
