Departure from Dublin and arrival in Hobro.
by Wivian

 After 4 days in Ireland it was time to go back to Denmark. Everybody  was absolutely exhausted after  having experienced more in 4 days than would normally be possible in 8, and we had all had far too little sleep.

  Some did not get to bed till 4 in the morning on the last night,  as they wanted to have the last bit of dear Dublin lived to the full, pubs, music and all.

 The teachers did not sleep that much either, mostly out of fear of getting up too late.

 We had to be ready at 7.50 in order to be picked up by coaches that would bring us to Dublin airport.

 Some of the students overslept, but amazingly managed to be ready in 5 minutes AND on time, no breakfast though!, and at 8 sharp we were all in the coaches after having handed in our  room"keys". not 1 was missing. Again a proof of  2ab being just super! 

 On arrival in the airport we could proceed to the check in counter immediately. A personal check in, so fortunately we all had our e-tickets as proof that we had paid for our flight back.

Passport missing!! 

 -Then came the  nervewrecking experience - especially for the student concerned: A passport  had been lost -but where? 

 Suitcase, handbag and toiletbag were all turned inside out several times, but to no avail!

 Fortunately we had photocopied all our passports before leaving Denmark, and we managed to get our very unhappy student through to check-in , security control and onto the plane.

 Finally we could set off and had a smooth flight back to Copenhagen where DSB   had seen to it that we had to wait for  4 1/2 hours. NOT VERY POPULAR!
Starbucks provided expensive coffee and chairs.

Train delays

 At 6.38 we could finally board the train to Hobro.  We all had a nice trip, cosy atmosphere, laughing, talking,playing, watching  football on the computers, but we were all dead tired and had very rosy cheeks, so it was almost unbearable to be informed that the train would be delayed by 30 minutes.

At 11.50 pm we eventually arrived at Hobro railway station. 

For most of the students it  was at least  half an hour  more before they would be in their homes.

 Still, everybody turned up the following day for the AT-project, worked really hard for 2 days and gave some  absolutely stunning and amusing presentations on Friday afternoon.

At 3.15 pm we could finally wish each other a pleasant Easter Holiday. 

Everybody really needed it now after 7 intense days of hard work, long hours, fun and great experiences.

 Happy Easter!
