Greystones and Bray

On Sunday, I took the Dart from Howth out to Greystones. (photo on the bottom) Howth is the furthest station out on the north side of Dublin Bay and Greystones is the furthest out on the south side of the bay and it's in County Wicklow. They're both seaside towns. Howth is definetly a fishing town. People come out here to buy fish fresh off of the boats. Greystones looks to me more like a holiday town, colorful houses, lots of people about. There's a cliff walk that I'd heard lots about and I wanted to go walk it. It goes from Greystones to Bray, (photo on the top) the second to last stop on the Dart on the south side, a distance of about 5 miles. Bray reminds me a lot of Misquamicut or Hampton Beach; very 'beachy' kind of boardwalk, lots of ice cream, chips, ballons vendors. Lots of little kids running around on the beach. And - lots of people swimming in the sea both in Greystones and in Bray - it was kind of a mild day, but I cannot imagine getting into the Irish Sea at this time of year.

This coming week - an overnight in Donegal Town. I won't have a car so I won't be able to get out to the Donegal countryside, but I'll watch out the bus windows.

Hope everyone is grand

love
