Newport, Wales to Waterford, Ireland

Little sleep in this morning as we didn’t need to board the bus until 9.30am.

We made our way to the Port of Fishguard where we drove onto the Ferry whilst on the bus then when parked we got off the bus and caught the lift up to the decks. The bloody lifts only took a maximum of 11 people at a time - even less if you were a bit overweight then it probably only took about 8 as the lift would not move if overloaded and an alarm would sound. Clarke had to go up without me as there were too many in the lift - he then sent me a message to tell me what deck he was on so I wouldn’t lose him 😂😂

You can imagine how long it took for all those people going up to the decks. Then we had to do the same coming back - everyone pushing and shoving thinking they were gonna miss getting off the ferry.

After 3 1/2 hours on the Ferry we boarded the bus again and made our way to our hotel in Waterford, Ireland.

The countryside here is beautiful and the Irish are very friendly. Wonder if I’ll see Mrs Brown!

It’s 7pm at night here and still daylight. We are about to go for dinner at the Hotel as part of our trip.

I have posted some photos of our day.Read more
