Killiney hill

Recommended!! Killiney Hill: 360º scenic view from Howth and Dublin down to Bray. The views from Killiney hill are gorgeous and people know it, because it was almost as crowded as Las Ramblas (ok, I'm exaggerating because my view of what is crowded has changed since I've become an adopted Irish).

I headed down to the DART station cruising down from Killiney hill. When I was about to buy my ticket, a voice let me know on the speakers that "No bikes are allowed on DART". WTF!!!!!!!!!

I had to cycle back to Dublin!! Of course, the weather changed in a couple of minutes: it started to rain (while the sun was still out). But Ireland being Ireland, the rain stopped a couple of minutes later, and, although the ride back home was a bit painful (my legs are not used to this much cycling!), the atmosphere was clean and crisp and the sun shone incredibly beautiful through dark clouds :D
