Travel Day 3: Holyhead - Dublin

Arrived at the ferry around 6:30 and had to wait because it wasn’t leaving until 9:00. Took a good 3 hrs to get to Dublin and all had breakfast and slept a bit on benches or the whole way in cabin.

Then at 12:15-ish we set foot on Irish soil and had to go through Custaim and we all had to get out and line up so a dog could sniff us out and the inside of the bus. Also a van with a x-ray machine went round the bus and trailer. Quite interesting and a first for many.

So after 3 hrs of being held by customs and carnet we we’re dropped off by Artur at our hotels. To my surprise my room had a shower ánd a bath tub and decided to use both. Did some admin with Nina and then was off to meet up with Emily, Andy and Egil for a pub crawl and a visit to the statues of Molly Malone and Phil Lynott.

Later Nina and Gwenael joined us for dinner at a place in the Temple Bar area. We continued our pub crawl at O’Reilly’s which was en route to our hotels and chatted/laughed/drank ‘til we could no more. Went to a real bed instead of a coffin/bunk around 1:00.Read more
