This starts out in Quinn Abbey, just east of Ennis, then we stayed at a B & B west of Mitchelstown, where they make butter and we had their butter at almost every breakfast/dinner for the rest of the trip.
The next day we headed east, weather still being a bit overcast, and skimmed the very northweastern part of the Comeragh mtns, catching some excellent views.
Then we headed for a long haul across the rest of SE Ireland then up the east coast to Glendalough, right smack dab center of the Wicklow Mtns.
Here we had enough time left in the day to go for a short hike to the Glendalough Abbey.
