Afterward, I walked to the station and took the DART to get to school. Fridays are short days, so I finished at 1 p.m. and went straight home to change my clothes. The weather was surprisingly nice for a November day, so we decided to take the DART again and visit Dalkey.<\/p>\n<p>Dalkey is a small town near Dublin. It doesn\u2019t offer much to do, but it was still a lovely place to spend the afternoon. We first bought some lunch at a supermarket, and then we started exploring this beautiful town. The streets were very charming, and after about 15 minutes of walking, we reached the sea. The scenery was stunning; it was one of my favorite seaside towns in Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>We walked along the coast and even climbed a hill to watch a breathtaking sunset. To finish our trip to Dalkey, we stopped at a cozy caf\u00e9 for some hot chocolate before heading back home.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox[rel-19377-1144268136]\" href=\"https:\/\/highschool.studyinireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-2_0001_IMG_8874-547x820.jpg\" target=\"_self\" class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"547\" height=\"820\" src=\"https:\/\/highschool.studyinireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-2_0001_IMG_8874-547x820.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-large\" alt=\"\" title=\"Untitled-2_0001_IMG_8874\" srcset=\"https:\/\/highschool.studyinireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-2_0001_IMG_8874-547x820.jpg 547w, https:\/\/highschool.studyinireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-2_0001_IMG_8874-127x190.jpg 127w, https:\/\/highschool.studyinireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-2_0001_IMG_8874-93x140.jpg 93w, https:\/\/highschool.studyinireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-2_0001_IMG_8874-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/highschool.studyinireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-2_0001_IMG_8874-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/highschool.studyinireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-2_0001_IMG_8874-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/highschool.studyinireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-2_0001_IMG_8874.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 547px) 100vw, 547px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox[rel-19377-2271809964]\" href=\"https:\/\/highschool.studyinireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20241026-WA0147-615x820.jpg\" target=\"_self\" class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"615\" height=\"820\" src=\"https:\/\/highschool.studyinireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20241026-WA0147-615x820.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-large\" alt=\"Bray Sunset\" title=\"Bray Sunset\" srcset=\"https:\/\/highschool.studyinireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20241026-WA0147-615x820.jpg 615w, https:\/\/highschool.studyinireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20241026-WA0147-143x190.jpg 143w, https:\/\/highschool.studyinireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20241026-WA0147-105x140.jpg 105w, https:\/\/highschool.studyinireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20241026-WA0147-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/highschool.studyinireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20241026-WA0147-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/highschool.studyinireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20241026-WA0147-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/highschool.studyinireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20241026-WA0147.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-8\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>In the evening, we had dinner at home.
