Today I woke up at 8 am and got ready to go to the city centre for Saint Patricks Day.
I took the bus around 9.43 am and got to the city centre at 10.30. Because everything got closed off for the parade, I had to get off he bus early and had to walk for 20 minutes to get to the place where I decided to meet my friends. Their buses got delayed so I waited for them to arrive. Firstly, Luka, Joannes, Vico, Wout and Thijs arrived and after a while Kyllian and Jerko also arrived. We finally were all there around 11.50 am. After that, we got lunch and just chatted for a bit at McDonald’s.
After the lunch we decided to go watch the parade, but sadly we were not allowed to go and watch. Every entrance was closed off by the police so we did not get to watch the parade. Instead we went to a shopping mall and hung out there for a while. Around 5 pm, Luka, Vico and Thijs were heading home. Me, Joannes, Jerko and Wout decided to have fun and stay until around 9.20 pm. We did some more shopping and walked around the city most of the time, before leaving as well.
I took the bus at 9.31 pm and got home around 10.20 pm since my bus had a bit of a delay. When I arrive at my host familiy’s house, Julia kindly opened the door for me and greeted me. We talked bout our day for a bit and then I went upstairs to get ready for bed and write my blogpost. Now I’m currently in bed and finishing up a couple of things to go to sleep.
In general, it was a very fun day, thanks to everyone!
