No class on Friday came in handy today as some friends and I traveled to Bray for the afternoon. Bray is a small coastal town about 30 minutes south of Dublin. From what we got to explore of it, it looks like it really comes alive in the summer with lots of boardwalk type amusements, ice cream shops, and outdoor seating at restaurants. It was really cute!
We took the DART (kind of like the Metro or Subway) and got to ride along the beautiful coast of the Irish Sea. Once we got there, we frolicked on the beach for a while and made our way to a restaurant with a great lunch special (Ireland loves lunch specials). At first we got turned down from this place (they claimed it was "full" and wouldn't give us a time estimate), and after looking and unsuccessfully finding another place, we returned again and finally got a table. The food was well worth the wait, and we indulged in ice cream afterwards because it wasn't even that cold out, so why not?!
We had intended to do the "Bray Walk" which some friends had suggested, which is an hour long hike along the coastal cliffs that takes you to the next town over. Unfortunately, because of the snow last week, there had been a rock fall and the path was closed off. We did get to go a little ways down the path and the cliffs were really beautiful. Below are some pictures from the day and there's more on facebook too!
