It took us a day or so to recover from the wedding, but we didn't loiter for too long. Cabinteely is only about 30 minutes from the Dublin Mountains and Olive and Andy (Yvonne's mum and dad) took us on a half day tour. We drove through Enniskerry, a cute little town on the tourist trail, and then zig-zagged our way to Powerscourt Waterfall. Here we met a grumpy gate guard that was not at all impressed with our attempt to pay the 'family' (2 kids/2 adults) entry fee. It was worth a try :)The waterfall was beautiful, much better then the one I saw in Thailand where the water was quite obviously pumped from the bottom back up to the top using a garden hose! You have to love the Thai tourist industry :) There was none of that sort of thing in the Dublin mountains, a 100% authentic and natural waterfall. From here we went for a bit of a drive through the mountains before a lovely Irish Coffee at the Ritz Carlton. It was my first Irish Coffee in Ireland and it couldn't have been in a more exquisite location. Gordan Ramsey even had a restaurant there. Very posh!
