Luas

Hoje venho falar-vos das Luas, transporte que utilizo diariamente para me deslocar há escolinha das minhas filhotas.
Por aqui ainda não chegou o metro, assim sendo como transporte alternativo, eles tem as chamadas Luas, que é um género de metro de superfície, como existe no Porto, que passa de 3 em 3 minutos, salvo se há alguma avaria.
Achei engraçado vos falar das Luas, porque há uma estação com o meu nome. Há duas linhas a"Green Line" e a "Red Line".Abaixo deixo-vos um texto que copiei do site "DublinTourist.com",com mais alguma informaçao.

"The Luas: Trams returned to the streets of Dublin in 2004, after the DUTC tram system was dismantled in the mid-20th century. The Luas is a system of two separate lines: the Green Line running from St Stephen's Green to Sandyford in south County Dublin, and the Red Line, from Connolly railway station to Tallaght in the southwest of County Dublin. Trams run from approximately 0530 until 0030 daily. Tickets are available from vending machines on the platforms. You must buy your ticket before boarding the tram: ticket inspectors travel frequently and have the authority to issue stiff penalties and fines. A variety of tickets are available, and can be paid for in cash or by credit/debit card."

Corkagh Park

Irlanda é um pais de bela natureza devido ao seu clima chuvoso, sendo assim não poderia deixar de abrir este blog com um exemplo de um parque "Corkagh Park", que se encontra a cerca de 14km de Tallaght,Dublin.

Existem várias espécies animais, uma grande diversidade de árvores e existe também um lado onde se pode praticar pesca, com determinadas condições,como citam o seguinte texto que retirei da web:

"Coarse Fishing The coarse lake is a mature 4-acre water consisting of over thirty swims ideal for pleasure, corporate or match outings. There are a variety of features which attract fish throughout the year and carp are seen cruising the margins in the warmer months. The entire lake has marginal reeds that can be very productive for the close-range angler. Stock The main species in the course lake is carp, both common and mirror carp. The average weight is 4-5lbs. There are also some carp of specimen weight (12lb +). Other species in the lake include perch, rudd, roach and tench. Perch have been recorded to 2.25lb and rudd and roach to 1lb. The coarse lake was stocked with bream in 2006 and Tench were introduced into the lake in 2005. The coarse lake is the ideal place for newcomers to carp fishing or the experienced angler in search of some fine specimens. All tackle to catch these beautiful hard-fighting fish can be obtained from the on-site tackleshop. Best Baits Carp can be tempted using sweet corn and casters. Small boilies attract the larger fish and winning flavors are squid and octopus, monster crab, ming oil, and through the Winter months Tangerine, Black and Blue, Scopex, Tutti fruity and Pineapple."
