It's a Toyota Avensis, but I didn't pop up the hood to look at the engine, but from the driving impression, it could be a 2.0 VVti engine. Japanese typical specs, light steering, comfy and quiet.
We also had a nifty gadget to try on, the Nokia N95 GPS system, as pictured below with Dublin city map and location, we used that to reach Glendalough.
Quite 'canggih' stuff with the CY's Nokia N95 GPS system, sans the vocal direction.
We immediately head out to the Wicklow mountains. The scenery is nice, unfortunately my photography skills are not up to par to showcase the scenery, anyway here is my try on it.
On our way to the Wicklow Mountains.
When we finally reached the Wicklow area, we stopped for a late lunch at Lynhams of Laragh, don't ask me to pronuniciate it.

Junction at Carvery
Lynhams of Laragh is quite cosy, it has a fireplace and warm environment. After a late lunch we headed to Glendalough. Glendalough is quite cold and windy, it should have been about an hour drive but it took us longer. The country side drive is quite worth it, if you drive slowly, not rally type driving though.
Is that a horse ? My 17-55mm Cannon kit lens can't it any nearer.
At the visitor centre
Glendalough is an irish monastery established somewhere 1200AD, Glendalough now has remnants of the monastery. The monastery is built secluded to protect it from vicious hordes like Vikings, read more from the link, long story.

Notice the colapse arch of the cathedral.
It was getting late and I'm having difficulties to shoot picture clearly, so I went ahead with some artistic photos of Glendalough.
