Saturday September 14th
Yesterday we planned to have breakfast at
The English Market in Cork but decided against it because it was such a rainy
morning. This morning dawned with a beautiful blue sky and so we walked down to
The English Market to have a look and eat breakfast at one of the cafes. We’re
pleased we didn’t miss it…
One of the many fish stalls…HUGE local oysters, mussels and lobsters.
There was an amazing array of game on sale
The central fountain
Just a small section of the display of food on offer at The Farm Gate
Café
Andrew had The English Market
Breakfast…
that means one with the lot & I had large flat mushrooms on
toast…delicious.
We left our hotel at 10am for the 270 k
drive to Dublin travelling on a motorway with a 120k speed limit…we made good
time and arrived at Ferry Terminal with plenty of time to spare.
The Stena Nordica…
Driving into the hold
Inside the hold…trucks were in one
lane, buses another
and then caravans, mobile homes, large cars, small cars and
so on.
…it was a very pleasant 3 hour crossing to
Holyhead in Wales.
Tonight we stay in Holyhead…we booked into the
hotel & visited 'The Standing Stones' the pub recommended by the receptionist for dinner and
refueled the car…all ready for tomorrow.
