Off to Ireland!

After a gruelling on/off road drive, we made it to Holyhead by 23:00 for the early morning sailing to Dublin. It's not really the vehicle you want for steep, twisty roads at night. Not sure when we're supposed to sleep! The ferry crossing is only 4 hours - we've been going for nearly 17 hours now. Robin crept into the back with the blinds shut for a few minutes rest but with people revving their engines, it wasn't very successful.

Pinzgauer didn't miss a beat and has attracted a lot of attention, not

By the time we had parked and collected our things, the ferry was completely full of bodies - there was not a piece of furniture on it without some weary competitor stretched out. The floor, although carpeted, was not a comfortable bed, especially with someone snoring loud enough to cut glass
