Behind: Berkeley Castle in England & Dublin, Day 1

If you travel to the west of England (almost to Wales) I recommend you stop at Berkeley Castle in Berkeley, Gloucestershire.  Our group was given the opportunity to travel there and get a tour of this significant castle. I recommend you go here if you like seeing history on beautiful English county land.  It was very interesting to learn that the same family (The Berkeley Family)  has been living at Berkley Castle for over 900 consecutive years. The family lives on the one side while tours are given on the other. While touring the amazing castle you will get a history of it. During the tour we saw the room King Edward the second was murdered there by people sticking a hot iron in his you know what.

Dublin: While in Europe, I highly recommend you travel to the amazing cultural city of Dublin Ireland. Many small airlines Ryan Airlines ,easyJet Airlines offer very cheap flights from many cities around Europe and especially England.  About 12 of us took a flight from Bristol, England to Dublin. There are many taxis that will get you to pretty much anywhere in the Dublin area. We stayed in a hostel called Jacobs Inn in the heart of the city. I recommend you book early and if you have a group, book a room all together at hostels. Our hostel was located by the Dublin Spire. It was very easy to walk home at night because we just looked for the tall spire. When in Dublin, I recommend you go to McDonalds because they have curly fries(that as far as I know they do not have in America) that are so good. I remember there was security guards at McDonalds, which was interesting because, I had never seen armed security at McDonalds before.  After dinner we went to a pub that was also a nightclub. It was right by a large green Heineken sign right by the river.  While at the club we requested our favorite American songs and that the DJ played pretty much all of them.
