在平坦的荷蘭生活久了，出門總想往高處去，此行亦不例外。巴特在基爾肯尼的客戶給我們指示了個景色秀麗、有山有海的走法，讓我們在返回都柏林途中有緣欣賞到不同的地理特色和風景。我們從基爾肯尼出發，先走一段高速公路，才開始走次道經格蘭達洛到海港城市威克洛，之後在上高速直達都柏林。
[NL] Wanneer we op reis zijn, proberen we altijd een berggebied te bezoeken. Bart’s client had ons een mooie route voorgesteld om de verschillende natuurlandschappen te bekijken. We hadden eerst een stuk snelweg gereden en toen de secondaire weg richting berggebied Glendalough genomen. Daarna waren we verder gereden naar Wicklow, een havenstad aan de oostkunst. Na het lunchen, reden we naar Dublin met de snelweg.
[EN] After years staying at the Netherlands, we are always cheerful to have the chance to visit some mountain areas. Bart’s client at Kilkenny has introduced us a wonderful route to get the fantastic views of different nature landscape of Ireland in short time, inclusive mountain and sea. From Kilkenny we took the highway first and continued with secondary road passing the mountains to Glendalough. Then we travelled further to Wicklow at east coast and picked the highway again directly to Dublin.
