Aujourd’hui, grand jour : excursion dans la campagne avec le Paddywagon ! Au programme Glendalough, site médiéval et lieu de tournage de films, genre Braveheart, Wicklow Mountains et Kilkenny. Le départ, prévu à 8h, nous fait lever at 7am! Wooh. The car is a bit delayed because of other departures Tour (Ireland 3, 6, 10 days ...) Finally we go! The bus is full. The chauffeur-guide is talkative as a magpie and floods us with information. The weather is not very forgiving but good.
Arrival at Glendalough (literally "the valley of two lakes") and visit the ruins of the monastery (church tower, cemetery) of St. Kevin. We try to see both lakes, but must turn back before reaching the second, lack of time. Second stop, the dolmen Brownshill. Enough mouarf and not very big (we have the best in Britain). Last stop in Kilkenny "medieval capital" and also the longest: 2:30. We start with breakfast and we buy the dessert in a tea: cake and brownie chocossisson kind of god of fire. Then stroll through the city to finish the castle, imposing, with the park around first. In the castle, an exhibition of modern art: female vacuum cleaner and other household maniacs. Weird but funny. Back to the bus and arrived in Dublin around 18:30.
Racing for tonight and play cards with our girlfriends bedroom, two Canadians from Vancouver, who teach us a new game, the spoons (for the interested, I can provide the rule). After lunch, traditional dance performance at Arlington Hotel, on the Liffey Quays. Very very nice. And no Gogarty tonight!
Photos and music!
