Ireland 2024 – Day 5

The day started with more rain in Dublin. After breakfast, we first drove to a petrol station to top up the other car in our little group of two. Having had enough of Dublin traffic yesterday, we decided to use the ring road around Dublin. Despite being a toll road, it was worth every cent. One just have to remember to login online and pay the toll within 24 hours.

We had picked a couple of places to visit on the way south. First out was Wicklow Mountains National Park with Sally gap and Wicklow gap. Plus, there is a visitor center near Wicklow gap where you can walk along two lakes. We had a lovely lunch there as well.

The next stop was the Vee pass in Tipperary. By then the sun hade come back and the soft top went down.We arrived to the hotel near Cork at 19:00. We drove 339 km today on some really nice roads. Mixed with some highways as well.
