Travel day to BunClody

After a day of touring around Dublin we took a taxi down to BunClody for the start of the Wicklow Walk.

As Peter indicated we both Hedged our bets today. I took the longer term beat and Peter took the shorter term bet.

Visited two Cathedrals today. St Patrick’s Cathedral as well as Christ Church Cathedral. Both within the a short walk from the Famous Templar Bar area of Dublin.

Both churches have been both Catholic over the ages as well as Anglican churches. Depended on who was in power at the time in Ireland.

An old picture of the Cathedral. And the current picture.

Some beautiful mosaic tiles on the floor of both churches.

I was able to find an empty spot for a candle for our walk – My bet. Lots of bets put on the table here. To my family and friends I wish you a grand day.

Peter picking his bets.

Money Back – Sounds like a pretty good bet to me. In the small print. “As a free bet IF”. Always an if.!!

Peter’s Bet – I bet someone knows what this means. My brother in law boiled it down to Justin Thomas.to win

Temple bar area.

Temple Bar area of Dublin is alive with pubs and Restaurants and all that serves the tourist traffic

Looks like it was a lovely night last night.

SP,Ethos get for everyone Locals chatting up the day.We ran out of town for the visit to the Leprechaun Museum. Maybe on the return trip.

After a late lunch we headed for BunClody after a day of navigation I took a rest as Peter was busy quizzing the driver which allowed me some time to catch up on my sleep.

Definitely out in the country. Not sure if the tractor’s parking job qualifies for an illegal park.

Breakfast in an hour time to prepare for the first day’s walk. 12 miles but could be 16 if we decide to forego the ride to the official start of the Wicklow in Clonegal.

Let’s see how the breakfast is – Full Irish breakfast.

Finally a nice quote seen today
