The travel continues out of Dublin
Today started early again. We awoke, had breafast at the hotel again but today i had eggs and porridge along with tea. We went back to the room, packed our bags, caught a cab to where we were renting the car in midtown. We had no troubles with obtaining the car but when we went outside to get in, i started towards the now passenger side and Dave gave me a quizical look and i just looked at him and said other side dear, other side.. He did replied with non PG language, i laughed so hard...we got out of Dublin and ventured to Powerscourt Estate then to the waterfall which was 3km away. The estate was grand, exactly felt like I was in Pride or Prejudice... There were Japanese gardens and a tower we were able to climb. The waterfall was stunning.. It came down off the mountain and the sound itself was impressive. Next we drove to Hooks Head Lighthouse. It was beyond freezing and the wind nearly blew me away a few times. We wandered along the coast and got some amazing photos. We decided to head towards our hotel which is located right out of Waterford with every turn i would laugh at Dave because he would turn on the wipers oppossed to the turn signal. We were making good time, when we were coming down the hill and the GPS says stay left and bear onto the ferry!!! The what??? FERRYYY..hahah we swore at the GPS numerous times, turned around and found a way around it. We arrived into ferrybank but there was no address for the hotel, we asked numerous people for directions and finally arrived. I was famished so we stayed and had dinner here at the hotel because by the time we crossed the river into Waterford, found parking and a restuarant, i would have died. Dinner for me consisted of Broccoli soup, butternut squaush rosotto and for dessert a lemon steamed pudding with earl grey custard and ginger syrup. Dave had wild irish game tireen then pork belly with colcannon and for dessert a chocolate pot with sea salt caramel. Now relaxing with an irish coffee...til tomorrow...
