Hiking Bray Head

We ended yesterday with a stroll along the Bray promenade and a delicious pizza at a local restaurant. The pizza was ordered and delivered in 10 minutes. On leaving the resturant we were greeted with a Baie Dankie. The maitre de had family in South Africa.!!! We are struck by the fact that it's still light at 9.45 at night.
Today was a much brighter day and we took the opportunity to walk up to the cross located on the top of Bray Head and over into Greystones. A beautiful walk with a steep rocky ascent to the cross but a much smoother leisurely path down into Greystones. ( Rugby fans will be interested to know that John Robbie played for this club before coming to South Africa) Very cold wind in parts especially at the top and some intermittent rain but in general a beautiful day. Stunning scenery and lots of walkers. Yellow gorse and beautiful hawthorn trees plus this fascinating tall plant known as a Blue Steeple plant. I love the pastel painted houses and quirky signs. A town with lots of character. We headed back to Bray by bus and then headed to the airport to fetch Katie who is joining us for a few days. Tomorrow we head off to explore Powerscourt a historic estate a few kilometers away.Leggi altro
