Are we Derry yet?

Finally it was time to head to Derry. We had a nutritious hotel breakfast: free cookie and a cup of tea. After that we went to a store near our hotel and bought something to eat on the bus trip: water, juice and such not forgetting cookies.

So cookies aside, the bus trip was quite awful. It took three and a half hours and the bus was packed with people and with no air conditioner. But at least the scenery was nice, when I was awake to look at it.

These photos are taken from my camcorder when I was filming with Mira.

After a long and dull trip (including one stop at the toilet, because the bus itself didn’t have one) we were at our destination: Derry.

The most nervous part of the trip was definitely meeting our host family. We met first of our host fathers at the bus station. We took a taxi to a house that would be our home for the next two months and there we met the second one.

They seemed to be nice people and at the house the most pleasant surprise was that they had two cats.

The house itself was kind of typical British house you see in television, like BBC programs etc. Not very far from city Centre.

I and Mira got our own rooms, I was staying in the larger room on the top floor (fifth floor) and Mira was at the lower floor in a smaller room. I had a nice desktop, big closet and the best of all I got to sleep two months in a double bed.

After putting down my heavy luggage I really felt that I had arrived to my own room.
