Left the lovely Brooks Hotel to pick up our Avis car for our much anticipated road trip round the Emerald Isle. The Sunday roads were very quiet driving out of Dublin through the suburbs - we headed south to Wicklow then west to Glendalough Valley in the Wicklow Mountains National Park - a very scenic part of the world. As we seem to always be drawn back to the coast we spent our first night in the little harbour town of Courtown at a lovely B&B looking right over the boats in the harbour. Walked down to the local pub - The Taravie - the only food in town opened on a Sunday night and had a fabulous meal - roast lamb - with the locals.
The plan for tomorrow is to leave the coast and travel west to Kilkenny, and southwest to Cork but who knows where the road will take us - or we may get lost as we sometimes do with my navigating.
