Fondest memory: Scenario: Breakfast in the B&B (see Tourist Trap!). 4 Germans around a dirty table. Looking forward to breakfast after a cold sleepless night. Loud noise (fire alarm?)from the kitchen.
The cups are upside down and so dirty they stick to the saucers. Oli decides to go upstairs and clean them. In that moment Mrs Dunne comes from the kitchen with the tea - ready to pour it into our cups. No cups!
Good that I am a good liar in situations like this. I say 'He's upstairs getting some medicine' (yeh, right! For all four of us!).
We finish breakfast as quickly as possible, bacon was turned into stone. We better run ....

Favorite thing: GLENDALOUGH IS A MONASTIC COMPLEX IN A REMOTE VALLEY IN WICKLOW. IT WAS FOUNDED BY ST.KEVIN IN THE 6TH CENTURY AND BECAME A CENTRE OF LEARNING, REFUGE AND CREATIVITY IN EARLY MEDIEVAL TIMES.
CELTIC CROSSES, A ROUND TOWER, CATHEDRAL, ROMANESQUE REMAINS,ST KEVIN'S KITCHEN, THE TWO LAKES, UPPER AND LOWER...MAKES IT ONE OF HTE MOST IMPRESSIVE MONASTIC SITES IN IRELAND!

Wicklow is both a green lung for the ever encroaching urban sprawl of Dublin and a beautiful, historic place in its own right. Increasingly its towns such as Bray, Arklow and Wicklow town itself have...
One of the things that impressed me about Ireland was the abundance of industries in the country. Even though some are small they seem to evoke the very essence of the land itself.
When it comes to Irish countryside I would usually recommend going anywhere along the West Coast. The East Coast as a rule is not quite as beautiful and breathtaking as the South-West of Ireland....
Glendalough in Wicklow - Beautiful and Green
I didn't get to spend enough time in Ireland, but the beautiful Irish countryside I got to see was in Wicklow County... the area called Glendalough. It was so beautiful and green just like you expect...
Small town , it is the main City in that region . But I think it is not so beautiful for a longer stay . The surrounding area is much better . So you can use Wicklow as a base for exploring the rest...
