Delphi
Summary:
On Wednesday the 20th of September we started our trip to Delphi. We came to school as normal that morning and met up in the gym. We talked in the gym for about forty five minutes then the teachers and Mr Long came down to talk to us. Mr Long told us the things we should and should not do then we got but into our groups that we were going to be in for activities. We then left the school around ten o'clock and headed for the long trip to Delphi in Mayo. We arrived in Delphi around around one or half one. When we got there we got greeted by some of the instructors that we were going to have for activities. We ate our lunch when we got there as we were all starving from the long bus journey. We had to wait a while for our rooms as they weren't fully ready yet. We had to get the key to our room and then we were allowed to go to our rooms. We brought all our luggage to the rooms. Then we had to go out to the court yard to get ready for our first activity. We were told what number our group was which was 13. We were then told what activity we had groups eleven and twelve had surfing and groups thirteen,fourteen and fifteen were rope climbing. I was in group thirteen so I was rope climbing. We got ready and went out. When had to get into groups of four for the first climbing activity. I was the first one in my group to climb up. We all had to climb up on a small platform and hold each hands or wrist lie back and make a square. It was very had and group couldn't get it. There was to other climbing activities were one you had to climb up a pole walk across a zip wire climb up again and walk across a pole. The other one was climbing up a pole and jumping as far as you can so you could hit the two balls that were there. I really enjoyed this activity that I did everything twice. After that we went back to Delphi and got ready for dinner. The dinner was at five thirty, we had chicken curry and rice the food there was horrible. We then went back to our rooms for a while. Then we played rugby against another school for the fun. We then had an evening activity we had to crawl in tunnels and the cape to get into the tunnel got smaller each time as you crawled along. After that we went back for supper which was a chocolate muffin. Then we had to go to our rooms to go to bed. Lights had to be out by eleven thirty. The following morning the night guard woke us up at eight o'clock. We got up had showers and got ready for breakfast at nine o'clock. For breakfast we had sausages and beans or the choice of a cereal. We got ready for the morning activity which was the walk for the Gaisce Awards. We got our packed lunches and headed off around ten o'clock we got the bus to a place about twenty minutes away and started to walk from there on. We stopped for lunch around twelve. We then hit off to get the bus back to Delphi. We got back and went to our rooms to get ready for dinner. We had spaghetti bolognese for dinner it was nice. After that we went to the court yard to play for a while before the evening activity. The evening activity was a camp fire we all sang songs together. Then we came back for supper and ate a chocolate cookie. We went back to our rooms and talked for a while then the night guard came in and told us to go to sleep. The following day the night guard woke us up at eight o'clock. We backed our as it was our last day at Delphi the night before. We got up and got ready for the the last activity at Delphi which for me was surfing. We got our swimsuits and got onto the bus. The beach was a half an hour drive from Delphi. When we got to the beach we got changed into our swimsuits. The instructors showed us how to surf on the beach before we went into the water. I am not able to swim so I thought this would be a disaster for me but I really enjoyed it. I didn't get hang of it but I made a good attempted at it. We Spend a few hours surfing then we got changed and headed back to Delphi. We got lunch when we got back. We got soup which was okay. We Were meant To leave Delphi at two but the bus must got delayed so we just played in the court while we were waiting. The bus then came around half two and we said our goodbyes to all the instructors we had and we headed home to Portumna.
