Yesterday (Tuesday, May 27th), I took the DART train (don't think I've described it yet - Dublin Area Rapid Transport) to Bray, because I had been told Bray was beautiful. I walked through the town to the boardwalk, where I found a Gino's, and quickly grabbed a nutella crepe. Om nom nom. There was a carnival in town or something, because everyone had cotton candy. I, however, resisted this temptation.
There was a big green mountain in the back, and I said to myself "okay...gonna go climb the mountain!" As I got further up the road and it wound around the mountain, I found out it was a cliff walk from Bray to Greystones. I had already been to Greystones before, but I continued on the walk, followed by some ladies from Spain who were doing the same. Some parts of it were challenging, but there was a whole uphill part that we did not do that I kinda want to go back and do before I leave Ireland. The walk was about 5.5k, but including the boardwalk, it was probably 6.5k. I was going to do the walk back from Greystones to Bray to double that amount, but I ended up going to Spendlove Coffee and eating a brownie with ice cream. Needless to say, I knew I wouldn't be hiking back.
I'm proud of the new independence I've gained here: I like making my own decisions, not having to wait for people, and doing things on my own time.
