Wicklow and Glendelough

Amy & Prue today we went outside of dublin and into the mountain areas of Wicklow and Glendelough. it was pretty amazing country.

first we drove through to wicklow and the area where they filmed braveheart, we had lunch at this really cute restuarant in the mountain and then onto glendelough where we went to an old graveyard.#

our tour guide was the funniest man ever and he loved the fact that we were auzzies and continued to rip us of all day, but don't you worry, we gave it back.

now he wants us to contact him when we go back so he can drive us around!

once again, the pictures speak louder than words, so enjoy the photos..

walking towards guiness lake (you will see why it's called that in the next photo) as you can see it's bloody cold...

guiness lake, the lake looks like a pint glass with black guiness and the sand looks like the creamy froth on top!

mountains
they call this kangaroo valley! if you look at the flat and next to the little lake is a grassy patch that is in the shape of a kangaroo. (hint, the head is facing towards us and the tail looks like it is coming out of the lake) it took us ages as well!!!

friends
some of the people on our tour that were staying in the hostel with us...

glendelough
at the entrance to the cemetery, some of these graves are old! some going back to the 1800's! the bald guy is our tour leader.

glendelough
this is a watch tower in the middle of the graveyard. it used to help guard against grave robbers and helped to keep the monks that lived here save. it is rumoured that if people walk around it 3 times holding hands, thay will be together forever. we done it, friends for live, awwww. bit sick really...

monostery and graveyard
this is the old church, some of the oldest graves are in here. bit spooky...

monostery and graveyard
ravens in the church, it is said that they carry the souls of the dead. spooky...

celtic cross
this is an old celtic cross that the monks used to pray at. it is said that if you can reach all the way around it, your'e wildest dreams will come true. i didn't reach, prue said it's because my boobs are too big. she did'nt reach either, i said it's because of all the padding in her bra...
