Wales to Ireland: A Survey of Public Transportation

J: "Hey, Stace?"

S: "Yeah, Jen?"

J: "Want to see how many different forms of transportation we can use in one day?"

S: "Uhhh... Not really."

J: "Ah, come on. It'll be fun."

Yesterday was a little exhausting. We woke up early to inhale a fabulous English breakfast prepared by our hostess before hurrying off to catch an early train to Holyhead. Once arriving in Holyhead, we walked straight from the train to the ferry terminal. The crossing was uneventful, but the steady rocking made both of us sleepy. After dropping our bags at our B&B, we headed up to Dublin via light-rail AND tram. We ended up on a long, boring walk (slog, would be more accurate) along a motorway because "it didn't look that far on the map". (Thank goodness Stacy is a patient and gracious travel partner. That was a big oops on my part.) After touring the Gaol, we caught a bus back to the city center and wandered around there for awhile before catching the light-rail back to Dun Laoghaire, grabbing a bite to eat and talking while watching the Spain-Germany game at a local pub. Phew!


Did you catch all that?

It was a looooong day.
