Our second stop in Ireland is a tour through the cities of Wicklow, Bray, Glendalough, and Dun Laoghaire. Every one of these cities is completely and utterly different. Dun Laoghaire is a beach side city just south of Dublin. Where shockingly enough you may even find surfers on a "warm day". You can find small cottages along the coast with white picket fences and beautiful emerald gardens. Bray is a city just east of Dun Laoghaire. We stop for coffee and pastries, and they are delicious. The flaky croissant just melts in your mouth. Glendalough and the Wicklow Mountains are just breath taking. We are in Ireland in March so the mountains still have flakes of snow left sprinkled on them. The air is nippy so high up in the cliffs, but the air is so fresh the rocks become covered in a vibrant green moss. Glendalough is filled with 1,000 year old ruins from a Monastery and a small pub where their native tongue is Gaelic. The fields are filled with lamb and horses as we pull away from this enchanting city. It is a city you feel should belong in a fairytale.
