Friday, November 21st

Today we caught the ferry back from Dublin - Holyhead. I wasn't feeling great about the whole thing as it left at 3pm, meaning that we'd get into holyhead at about 6 (gets dark at like 4:30) and there were no camping grounds for quite awhile on the other side (they were all closed for winter). Anyway we nade it to the ferry (had to drve through town which isn't cool!) and everything was going according to plan timewise. It was really windy, making the trip a bumpy one and all 3 off us felt pretty dodgy! Poor little cam was pretty sick, but handled it like a trooper and went to sleep after a little while.

We arrived in the port at about 6:30, and so headed to the gate to get down to the campervan...and waited...and waited LOL. A little bit later it came over the speaker that we couldn't dock becuse of the high inds and could everyone go back to their seats. So we did (lots of people stayed standing up) but had lost our sweet couch position in front of the tv LOL. A little bit later it came back over the speaker that we would try to dock again in about an hour so we pretty much just mucked round (drinking free hot chocolate LOL) for that time. We were anchored out of port a little bit, but because it was still windy we were still moving around wuite alot! Anyway we finally got in and into our motorhome at about 8:30. Our mood was fairy chirpy as we headed off down skinny windy roads trying to find a camping ground we had found was open. I think we arrived at about 10:30 - it was a pretty dung camping ground where all the pithces were really crooked, and we ended up getting stuck in some mud! Luckily thre was a nice man across from us who helped to push us out and we stayed there the night. It was pouring down with rain and I had the crappies sleep thinking that we were going to get stuck here at this crappy campsite 'cos it was going to turn to a muddy mess! (actually I'm being unfair, the camsite would have been beautiful had e arrived during the day and could see what we were doing. it was in amongst the trees and stuff and was pretty nice I guess. But as e arrived so late and immediately got stuck, I just wanted to get out of there ASAP LOL)
