Dag 1
Day 1 - Arrival
23. november 2023, Irland ⋅ 🌬 12 °C
Finally- Meeting Cathal and Ross in the Irish Mountains. Cathal‘s family owns a beautiful old cottage in the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland. And we are here for a few days to enjoy nature, celebrate old friendships and act out one of the best movies ever made. I am hoping though I did not come on holidays by a dreadful mistake and I am looking forward to a couple of days in the wild Irish nature with Cathal and Ross.
Arrived at Dublin airport and Cathal picked me up. From there we had a short trip to IKEA to pick up some stuff and did some food shopping. Went to the cottage near Glendalough, right beside the national park. It’s a beautiful old cottage of Cathal‘s family. Ross joined us just in time for dinner and we had a lovely catch up. Went for a night walk to the lake just below the cottage and it was magical in the moonlight and under the stars. Then we all went to bed with our hot water bottle. Yea- mid 40ies now we sure are 😁Læs mere

Dag 2
Day 2- Checking it out
24. november 2023, Irland ⋅ ⛅ 4 °C
Today started with some Yoga and a lovely walk around the lake. The scenery is just breathtaking and lights change by the moment. I feel really blessed to be here and grateful. I got to chat to some locals, visitors and made friends with a Robin. After some breakfast Ross and myself went for a spin to get some stuff in Rathdrum. Cathal was working today, but we all did a nice little walk for lunch. Up the hill behind the house. Everywhere I look it’s just beautiful and gorgeous. Ross made lovely Miso soup, summer rolls and chicken. Yummo! Chatting away about architecture topics which I find really interesting as this is totally out of my scope. Every day is a school day. Cathal is away on a training course in Dublin this evening so it’s just Ross and I looking after the cat and the house. Playing Backgammon later and maybe going on another night walk.
I very much enjoy being content with a cup of tea, games and being outside compared to when the three of us were 20 and it was all about booze, drugs and clubs… I love being old and boringLæs mere

Dag 3
Day 3 Hike
25. november 2023, Irland ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C
Today was a beautiful hiking day with Ross. While Cathal went to Dublin for the day to get his radio course finished, Ross and I took on the white trail in the park. About 8k with 600 m elevations. It took us about 4 hours with nice little tea breaks and photo stops. This park is just beautiful. Edler that Ross made a lovely breakfast- quite a gourmet he is! We all went together to the restaurant in the evening and the local pub after. Finished off the day at 4 am after watching Withnail and I for the … time- I lost count. Staying up talking half the night before Cathal got the hot water bottles ready and we called it a night.Læs mere

Dag 4
Day 4 Chill and Spin
26. november 2023, Irland ⋅ 🌫 9 °C
It’s been a little rainy this morning. So after a very late night we all had a sleep in and went for a spin after lunch. Drove to Sally Gap, Glenmacnass Waterfalls and then to Logh Tay- the Guiness lake. The land is owned by the Guinness family. We went for a walk in the reservoir at Roundwood, had a stop in a lovely little cafe and now it’s time for some dinner. Ross is cooking some sausages and mash. Looking forward to that. Spending the evening at home chatting.Læs mere

Day 5 - Getting creative
27. november 2023, Irland ⋅ 🌙 4 °C
It’s a relaxing day today. Went for a morning loop around the lake, another walk to pick some rushes for making St. Bridget’s crosses. Also picked some green stuff for the advent wreath. Ross made lovely apple tarts and with that we went to see Valery next door. It was delicious. We had a gin tonic over there as well and continue with those here at the cottage. Finishing the evening with a lovely dinner of leftovers and competative card games.Læs mere

Dag 6
Day 6- Bye Ross
28. november 2023, Irland ⋅ ☀️ 4 °C
After breakfast and a last game of Backgammon Ross said Good Bye and drove back to Galway. So it’s just Cathal and myself today. We went on a beautiful hike of about 12 km and it is a perfect day for it. Sun is out and the sky is blue. We went on top of the mountain across the lake from the cottage. Great views. Tonight is my last night in Ireland so we‘ll have dinner, play cards and the go for a night walk. Walking in the dark is magic, Moon and the stars and no street lights or any other light pollution. Not a soul around but us. This place really is special.Læs mere

Day 7- Last day
29. november 2023, Irland ⋅ ☁️ 3 °C
Today started with a nice walk up the hill behind the house. Cathal showed me the place where he sometimes go for a swim. A lovely little tub in the river just below a little waterfall. Back to the cottage to grab my bags and do some last shopping of some favorites on the way to the bus. Ivan now sitting in the airport waiting to board the plane home. Feeling very grateful for the last view days. Got to spend quality time with dear old friends, in beautiful nature and having great homemade food. Back home it’s the start of a new chapter. My kids and a new job are waiting for me. Let the other kind of fun beginnLæs mere
