12th July 2013 - Glendalough - An Irish Beauty

I decided to bring my granddad out to Glendalough today. We took the car from Skerries and drove down the M1 and M50 and ended up on a very winding road within the Wicklow National Park. Weather was amazing. The water at the Upper Lake was warm so I dipped my feet in, all happy with myself.

Here are few pictures from Glendalough and surroundings:

The famous ruins in Glendalough, with the Tower of Glendalough in the background.

The Upper Lake, which is a good 30 minutes walk from the car park. We chose the path through the woods so we could enjoy the sun while walking in the shade.

"The Wicklow Heather" - a really cute restaurant/pub we went after our exhausting walk. We had tea and coffee and fresh scones with jam and cream. Amazing service - the waiter even spoke a little German.

We made our preparations for the BBQ tomorrow: German homemade burgers. The potatoes for the potato salad are boiling while my granddad is writing his postcards. We are enjoying the remaining sunshine, it's meant to be a bit colder tomorrow but we will see.
