In Portugal, we went to a water park called Slide and Splash. It has tons of really cool and fun water slides! About half of them are for inner tubes, and the other ones you can slide on your back. The scariest one that I was on was the one where you get on a 4 person inner tube, and then you turn a little bit, and then there is a huge drop, and you go way up…and way down. There is a super fun one where you climb up a lot of stairs up to the ride, and then there are huge foam slides that you slide down on your back. You can also curl up in to a ball, and slide on your back that way. There were tons of slides there that were all super fun!
After our five weeks in Portugal, then we went to Dublin! We were in Dublin for a week! We walked around, saw the Book of Kells, Trinity College, a bunch of churches, got haircuts, and spent some time with our grandad and his wife, Zorka. They were super nice and fun to be around! (I’m excited for Christmas when we get to go their house!) One night, we had dinner with them at a restaurant called The Winding Stair, and the next day we went to the Dublin Horse Show! It was kind of like a track meet for horses and the only event was hurdles. In Dublin, we also had some amazing chocolate. With our allowance, we each bought some souvenir chocolate because it’s really good in Europe. We also bought a ton of hot chocolate powder and digestive biscuits, for the same reason as the chocolate bars.
I would definitely recommend going to Portugal and Ireland! If you do go somewhere, safe travels!
