Chelsea v leicester
Trip to Stamford Bridge
On Saturday I woke up at 7:00 and went to Dublin Airport with my Dad. We flew into Heathrow Airport in London. We then got the tram to our hotel, we dropped off our bags there then we went out for something to eat. When we were finished eating we went back outside and got another tram to the area around Stamford Bridge. We then had a 10 minute walk to the stadium. On the way to the stadium we got a match day scarf and the match programme. When we arrived at the stadium we went to collect our tickets, on the way we saw the Chelsea and Leicester team buses but we just missed the players. Eventually we collected our tickets and went to the entrance, we had to go up loads of sets of stairs. When we got to the top we went to our seats. We were in the West stand. We got there an hour early so we saw all the players warming up. When the match started there was lots of chances for both teams. But the match finished 0-0. It was a great match and great atmosphere!!! When the match finished we got back on the tram and went back to our hotel.

Checkatrade Trophy Final
TRIP TO WEMBLEY
Disco Bear went to the airport at half 6 on Friday with my granddad my cousin and my brother and we flew into Birmingham airport and we then got a train up to Coventry and we stayed in the Britannia hotel. I went to the transport museum on Saturday.
We then got a 3 hour bus journey to London where Coventry took on Oxford at Wembley. It was an amazing atmosphere; there was not one minute when the Coventry fans were not singing. The final score was Coventry 2-1 Oxford United. It took a 4 hour journey back to Coventry.
It was a great experience

Liverpool 3- Arsenal 1
I got up at 4 o clock in the morning, because I had to collect my cousin and my grandad for our flight at 5 minutes past 7. We arrived in Liverpool at a quarter to eight and we went up to Anfield at half 11 for the stadium tour. We went to the new main stand upper tier and got to sit in the dugout away and home. we also saw the dressing room and couldn’t go in because they don’t let you in to players access on match days. Then we went up to a pub to meet my granddads friend John who went back to Anfield road with us for a drink. We went to Anfield for 5 25 and watched Liverpool take on Arsenal. The score was 3-1 to Liverpool with goals coming from Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Gorgino Wijnaldum and Arsenal goals came from Danny Welbeck. Then we went home on a new Ryanair plane. It was a fantastic trip I’ll never forget even if it wasn’t a Newcastle match.
New York City
On Monday I went to New York with disco bear. Our flight was on at 9 am in Irish time and we landed in Newark airport at 12 pm, we got a taxi from the airport to the New Yorker hotel. That day it was Halloween so we went out for dinner in an Italian Restaurant and went trick and treating . We went to the empire state building on Wednesday and went to the 104 floor and saw central park.On Thursday we went to the Statue Of Liberty , the crown was booked out so we couldn't go up. Instead we looked up from the ground and took pictures. I went to a basketball game with my dad to see New York Knicks vs Huston Rockets, at half time i got a hot dog and saw basketball freestyles do some tricks.

Newcastle V Brentford
It was Disco bears first time to Newcastle and it was a great one too. It started off when we went to the airport at seven. We flew to Newcastle with Ryanair and landed in Newcastle international airport. We got a taxi to the Novotel. Our room was not ready so we went into town and went into the Irish center. At two we went to St James park and got lost in the upper tear because the lift broke that we were susposed to get. But my luck changed and a man was handing out two free packets of match attax. We eventualy got there in the sports bar. I met Malcolm McDonald a famous Arsenal and Newcastle striker. In the opining eleven minuets Ciaran Clark headed home a cross from Jonjo Shelvey. Shelvey then set up Dwight Gayle for his two goals of the game.
Brentford pulled one back through Scott Hogan roumered the next Robie Keane. We went back to Hotel and went home the next morning. I had a great time in Newacstle and I am sure Disco Bear did as well.

Trip To Venice
Recently I took a trip to Venice. I was allowed into the cockpit of the aeroplane before we took off for a look. The pilot took a picture. When I went to Venice I went on a Gondola boat and it went around some of Venice and I got to see most of the city. Also when I was there I went to my dads cousin Robs wedding I really enjoyed the whole day it was great. I also went on a water bus to get to St Marco, a place in Venice. It was very nice there and we went to a fancy restraunt and got really expensive food. Disco bear really enjoyed Venice.
robBie keaneS LAST MATCH
The aviva was near full for Robbie Keanes last match as he walked out on the pich with his kids for last time. I was sitting at the stand opposite the dugout.The match was far from boring it started off with Robbie Brady winning and scoring a freekick. Oman then came close after they took a corner and a glancing header was nearly put in only for the hand of Ciaran Westwood they would have been level.Then John Walters knocked it up to Keane who chested a ball over his markers head and vollyed the ball in the Oman net. His 68th goal for the boys in green. Sadly it was to be his last. Then walters came in to head in Irelands 3rd. Robbie Keane came off for Wes Hoolahan. Walters scored his second and Irelands fourth. After the final whistle. Robbie Keane gave a speach and his son tried to eat the microphone. Me and disco bear gave our opinions on the train back to Maynooth.

midterm trip to berlin
During the Halloween break I got to bring Disco Bear to Berlin with my family for 4 days.
When I got to Berlin we got the train to the hotel. After we unpacked the bags we went to the Brandenburg gate. When we got to the Brandenburg gate I was amazed by the height. There was some weird statue of a god in a chariot on top of the gate
The next day we went up the TV tower by elevator. On one top of the elevator it was glass so you cloud see it being pulled up. When we got to the top I could see for miles. Berlin city looked like a model of Berlin because we were so high up.
The highlight of my trip was the Berlin wall. Sadly there is only about a twelve meter s left of it . I noticed one side of the wall had graffiti and the other side did not have graffiti. The wall is 1.20 meters tall and 2.10 meters wide.
I enjoyed Berlin and making this blog reportand I hope you enjoyed reading it.

disco bear's trip to basel
|
On the 25th October 2014 at 6.45 pm Disco Bear left Dublin Airport to travel to Basel. This was Disco Bear’s first holiday. The airport is called EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg and is in France not Switzerland. Basel is in Switzerland and is very close to France and Germany
Our first trip in Basel was to Lucerne. There was a marathon on when we were there. We went to see the Alps and got there on a boat and then a cable car. The mountain was called Rigi and also Queen of the Mountains. When we went up we saw clouds that looked like floating islands. In Lucerne we also walked across the Chapel Bridge which is a long wooden covered bridge that was built in 1333. On Monday morning we went to Basel Zoo where Disco Bear saw lots of different animals but no bears. In the afternoon we went to Basel Town by tram and saw lots of old buildings – the date the houses were built were on the front of them. There was a Halloween festival on in Basel and we went on the big Ferris Wheel. On Tuesday Disco Bear got to go to Europa Park in Germany where he went on lots of rollercoasters. Europa Park is the largest theme park in Germany and is the second most popular park in Europe after Disneyland Paris. There are lots of different areas named after countries in Europe. Disco Bear was sad because there was no Irish Area. On Wednesday 29th October Disco Bear arrived safely back in Ireland after a very enjoyable holiday with Eoghan’s uncle, aunt and cousins in Basel. |
trip to tipp
On Saturday I went with the Celbridge Under 9's to their Moyle Rovers Blitz in Tipperary. The team and I got to Tipp by bus. I was very excited because it was my first trip and my first time being on a bus. When I was getting on the bus I had to sit beside the bus driver and it was very exciting because we were singing on the bus. When we got to Tipp we got a team photo out side the bus. I watched the boys from Celbridge play other Teams from Tipp. Celbridge won all of their matches and got a gold medal each. They got to meet Declan Brown the greatest Tipp footballer. On the way home they went to Supermacs. They had a great time at Supermacs.
At the end we went back to Celbridge GAA in Kildare. Disco Bear had a great time watching the boys play football. |
