Wild Wicklow - 3rd Jan 06

We went on the 'best tour' in Dublin known as the 'Wild Wicklow'. It is those kind of tours where u travel to various sights in a coach with a tour guide giving u a lowdown of the history and notable acheivements along the way. Well, in this tour, our tour guide doubled up as the driver of our big Mercedes coach too. Having 'graduated' from the National Tour Guide course, she sure was informative, talking for abt 90% of the time I reckon, even while navigating the precarious mountain routes!

Morning tea was a tad too expensive. So we contented ourselves with whiffs of coffee and pastry straight from the kitchen while taking photos in the garden. Think we managed to catch some attention from fellow tourists with our unconventional poses.

Visited the Monastic city where we learnt alot about the catholic influence in Ireland and also the meaning of the crosses and grave stones around us. More enticing was the scenic route thereafter. We saw valley (at Glendalough) and mountain (at Wicklow) which really awed us.

What better way to end off the day with an Irish toast: a shot of Jameson Irish Whiskey!Our tour guide was not to be fooled by us when she said, 'I know my Oriental friends...' *hint hint* Well, we kind of disappointed by taking slightly longer to finish our toast. Oops.

and the last picture is of us on the shopping street where Kai Leng is the happiest for obvious reasons... *secret*
