June 12: Dublin to Laragh


Arrived in Dublin, got our rental car and headed for Glendalough National Park. Our first stay was a cottage on a small lane about 2 km from Laragh.
A point of some anxiety:  all of the roads are narrow. We have a rental car with manual shift. The shift is on the left side of the driver; the driver is on the right side; and we drive on the left side. All the elements for a scary ride.  Allen drove over the curb numerous times, but so far has not hit a car or wall.
We decided to walk on the cliffs in Bray. We wandered around in Bray, but did end up a cute little area right on the Irish Sea and walked up over the sea. Quite lovely and met our first Irish residents.



We then drove on out to Kilmacago, down to Roundwood to Laragh.  We had some problems finding our cabin and realized that we had mistaken our days, but our cabin owner had left the gate unlocked and the key in the cabin.  We went back up to Laragh and talked to a store owner who phoned the owner. All was well and we returned to the cabin.  They don’t seem to be concerned with people breaking into their property.  We have a lovely cabin fully furnished for two days. We went back in for dinner at a lovely restaurant, Wicklow Restaurant, and returned for breakfast also!

They can sell to the grid any energy not used. Skera Brae, Oldest Complete Neolithic Town-5000 years old, 3100 BC, was uncovered after a huge storm in 1850.  Found that blue clay was placed under the floor. They also had a stream running through each home with a hole over it-first indoor toilets.  Workshop rather than home. A type of flint, ckert, was found. It was used for certain weapons, knives.  Ring of Brogar-olde...

Built in 1500s by Count Wingfield, an Englishman, who was given the land by Elizabeth I for his gallant fighting.   There are a series of 6 gardens.
