Bray

After the visit to Glendalough, I got off at Bray, a coastal town south of Dublin. Indeed a very town, I arrived Sunday morning with some expectation of busy sunday markets. However, it was too early.

I just took the time to have my first Irish breakfast at a local cafe. It wasn't much to see here, and I hopped on the train and went back to Dublin.

Howth

I dropped my lugguage off at the hotel, and immediately went back to the train station. Suggested by one of my friends, I went north this time to Howth, a fishing port in the old times.

The city was very beautiful. Lots of waterfront cafes and restaurants. The marina was protected by a dam, where I found many families strolling on with their children. It was a relaxing afternoon for me to tour Howth. I had my "fish & chips" and the Guiness at a local cafe.
