THE CAUSEY FARM
The next day, was perhaps one of the funniest day of the entire trip.
We arrived around 11 o'clock to a farm called "Causey Farm" where we were supposed to experience a typical day in the rural Ireland. Well, kind of.. The hole day was planed to show us some typical Irish activities and customs.
The first thing we got to do was make our own bread, that we would later eat for lunch. So there was a certain anxiousness not to mess the bread up, otherwise we wouldn't have anything to eat.. The breads turned out to taste amazing.
After baking our lunch, we went to look at a newborn lamb, and some really small but incredibly cute puppies. Then the guide took us inside one of the buildings and started teaching us a traditional Irish dance. It was something totally new but very impressive. We had a lot a fun, but after finishing one song. Everyone was starting to feel their legs hurting. We even managed to get Wenzel tired, and that's something! But it was definitely worth it, and it's probably something we wont ever forget, or at least we hope so..
Just before lunch, Donaghah took us to the back yard, where he gave us wooden stick and a baseball. And also equipped us with a hockey helm, just for safety and then started teaching us an Irish sport called hurling. We he showed us what we were supposed to do with the stick and the ball, we kind of stared realizing that if the ball hit us at that speed, that little helm would probably not protect us very much..
Even so, the game was hard to play in the mud, so we stick to trying to hit the ball with our wooden bat.
After a perfect meal and a really, I mean REALLY good soup, Donaghah took us back to the farm, where we all tried to milk a cow. It was a little bit scary, but in a funny and unforgettable way.
Then we all drove in the trailer of a tractor to a unknown place, near the farm. The ride was very bumpy and made us all recall that song we used to sing when we were younger "old MacDonald had a farm... ia ia oh!" Donaghah showed us a lot of interesting things there..
