To Holyhead and beyond...

Now, I remembered Holyhead as being a dump in the back of beyond that you wouldn't want to go to. Actually, on a sunny day it's quite nice, and if you read on there's some pictures later.

We also had a very nice boat to take us across. Quick, cheap, nice chairs, typical dodgy food. Sadly as it's one of the superfast hydrofiol jobbies, it doesn't have an observation deck, but there are excellent views from inside. there is a tiny little outside platform right above where the water comes out of the hydrofoil: the sheer power of it is amazing.

Coming towards Ireland, there's a good view of the Wicklow mountains, where I was going to be walking, but not much to see of Dublin itself, which is a pretty flat city really.
