Our whirlwind tour continues.................
Today we left Telford early morning and drove through Wales - a very beautiful rugged part of the UK. We passed through the Welsh National Park and drove to Holyhead on the coast. From here we caught the ferry for a 3 hour journey to Dublin port. We are now in Ireland until we fly home Friday morning.

Passing through Wales was beautiful - craggy mountains with bubbling rivers winding through the countryside. Sheep dotted all over the hillsides and gorgeous autumn trees. All the signs have both Welsh and English - it adds to the atmosphere as you wind along the hedges and walls.
I was dreading the ferry trip as I get nauseous on the flattest seas! It seems to be that the bigger the boat the worse I am................ anyway this was a 3 hour trip on a massive ferry (restaurants, shops - 9 deck levels) So definitely not the highlight of my trip - however one of the girls had Maxalon tablets - magic! It worked so well that I even ate something- wow. From now on I'm packing them for any sea crossings!!!

Ireland also has bilingual signs - Gaelic and English. We're having the night in to catch up as tomorrow we are off to the University of Dublin to take part in their Veterinary Nursing program - lectures and workshops. We also go to an Irish dinner and show as we did in Scotland - so busy day tomorrow.
