Powerscourt house and gardens, Wicklow Co. Ireland
The grounds and gardens of Powerscourt are stunning! This home has been owned by only 2 family's in over 400 years! The Windfield family from 1603 and now the Slazenger family. It stretches over 47 acres and offer a magnificent view of Sugarloaf mountain. It was probably 10 degrees cooler up in the hills, and the driveway winds through a golf course to the House and Gardens. There was a wedding in progress, when we arrived, but in co existed with the hundreds of visitors, who come to this top 10 attraction in Ireland.
OFF THE COAST OF RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL
ILHA GRANDE, BRAZIL
Today we spent on the water. We had signed up for a beach and snorkel trip yesterday and had to move to today because we had tender issues into the port and missed the start time. Today was also looking bleak but the charter waited for us and even sent their tender over to our delayed shuttle and rescued us off so we could join the group waiting for us! It was a fun day, swimming and snorkeling over 4 different beach locations. The water, drinks and sunshine were all great fun!
