We drove for 4 1/2 hours down to Rosslare, for those who don't know, it is on the pointy tip of Southern Ireland on the South East. We arrived at the ferry terminal on time.
This was my first time on a big ferry, and I was amazed to see that it was like being in an airport duty free terminal. But the food was too expensive in my opinion. It took 3 1/2 hours to cross the water and then we were in Wales! Another peg on the map, our first time there.
Wales is very hilly and very beautiful. I loved the small village, country feeling to the place. Our friends Greg and Judi live there in a small village called Hay-on-wye. We enjoyed spending time with them. The kids just seem to pick up where they left off, they get on so well.
This is the village center, and this is all of it, it is tiny. The village consists of about four main lanes and loads of book shops. It isn't called the village of books for nothing.
And some of the sights...
This is me at the stone circle.
Judi and I in the hills.
The kids about to go on a walk.
Pete in the hills.
I thought Pete looked hilarious in this chair, just like an old man, especially with the blanket on his knees.
And that was Wales. Thanks to Greg and Judi for having us in your home and showing us around parts of where you live.
