June 24th (sunny, cloudy, a bit rainy)
We drove 140 kms to the Dublin Port Ferry terminal for our 2:15 pm ninety-minute fast ferry ride to Holyhead, Wales. Met a lovely family from Calgary who had come over for a wedding in Edinburgh. They stayed at B&B’s and rented an apartment in Edinburgh which made it easier because their two children were under two years old. I mentioned the fact that our daughter has just moved there, as well our best friends two boys, etc. etc. Turns out they are both doctors, Dr. Rohal Lall and his wife Dr. Puddy. Dr. Lall mentioned that he was aware of Dr. Owen Reid. Small world!
Upon arrival in Wales we noticed right away that their road signs were large and legible, understandable? No, thet did have English translation bellow. Also noticed that they have large numbers of campsites. We found one just off a picturesqe bay and looked forward to walk to the beach and travel around Wales. Unfortunatley the weather took a nasty turn from bad to worse, we hardly got out of the van except to wash clothes. The reception was not open when we arrived so found a spot to plug in. Our first impression of Wales is that it is very beautiful.
