Recent travel to Ireland and Wales

Postby Psyber » Sun Nov 05, 2023 6:44 pm

My wife and I have just come back from driving around Ireland and Wales. We covered about 2500 Km in Ireland and a little less in Wales, driving anti-clockwise about both. The rural roads not much wider than the car were a bit of a challenge - you had to be ready to stop and back up if someone coming the other way on the bends appeared. However, everyone was cooperative and there were no major hassles.

Fuel was expensive - about AU$ 3.60 a litre.

Our first stop in Wales after landing in Holyhead from Dublin by ferry was Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch - a place not to be missed if only for its name!

It is better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt

With 2 L's in 2 of my names I'm of Welsh blood, but my word Welsh is as hard an any language to learn. It really is hereditary, you have to be born with the skill.
PAFC. Forever.

LOOK OUT, WE'RE COMING!
