Day 4-Our Final Day in Amsterdam!

After checking out of our hotel, we made our way to the city center for a guided bike tour. Though we were initially a bit nervous, we quickly realised that cycling was actually a much easier way to get around than walking! Along the way, we visited several landmarks, including the Anne Frank House, and picked up some fascinating insights into the city's past.

Next, we drove to the seaside town of Volendam, a classic Dutch fishing village. There, we wandered around, grabbed some lunch, and squeezed in a bit of last-minute souvenir shopping.

Our final destination was ZaanseSchans, where we watched traditional wooden clogs being made and tasted some delicious local cheeses. After snapping one last photo in front of the windmills, it was time to head to the airport.

There was something for everyone and the thrill seekers were kept happy with one of the highlights being the "Baron 1898 Dive Coaster" which had a drop of 37 metres! After a long day in the sun we headed for dinner and passed the journey home with a sing song.

7 Days to go! Give Blood next Thursday. You can save lives!

Give Blood, Save Lives!

Please consider giving blood at St. Nathy’s College,  on the 8th of May 2025, from 15:50 to 20:00.

Why Should We Give Blood?

1. Saves Lives – Blood donations are crucial for patients undergoing surgeries, cancer treatments, childbirth complications, and accident victims. One donation can save multiple lives.

2. Helps Patients with Medical Conditions – People with conditions like anemia, hemophilia, and severe infections rely on blood transfusions to survive.

3. Supports Emergency Situations – Hospitals need a constant supply of blood for emergencies. Natural disasters, accidents, and surgeries can create sudden demand.

4. Encourages Community Support – Donating blood creates unity and care within communities, ensuring everyone has access to life-saving treatment.

5. Health Benefits for Donors – Regular blood donation can improve heart health, reduce harmful iron levels, and promote the production of new blood cells.

Participating in this blood drive is a simple yet powerful way to make a difference. #EveryOneCounts

Day 2 -News from our TY Students in Amsterdam

TY students had a busy second day on tour. We started with a visit to the The Rijksmuseum. This is the largest museum in the Netherlands and contains over 800 years of Dutch art and history. We were given a guided tour and got  to see some of the most famous works of Rembrandt, including the Night Watch. We learned about the history of the painting, his use of shadows and where he has hidden his own portrait in the painting. We saw many other notable paintings by Dutch artists, and also a few of Van Goughs famous works. After leaving the museum we got to spend some time in the beautiful garden attached to it before heading for some retail therapy in the Mall of the Netherlands . 

From there we made our way to Dunreil Water park, where everyone was glad of a chance to cool off. We had dinner in the opulent surroundings of the Grande Cafe restaurant. Local rivalrys were not forgotten though and we managed to watch the U20 Connacht final on a few phones! The Roscommon contingent weren't too happy with the result and the Green and Red of Mayo was sung in celebration before returning to the hotel!
