Day 13, Ferry to Wales and Cardiff

Today started very early to catch a ferry from Ireland to Wales. The coach was on its way by 6:45am, which was earlier than was really necessary. Positives: we were first coach on and off the ferry. Negatives: we were waiting on the coach to get in the ferry for about 45 minutes. The ride was pleasant. I didn’t take my camera off the coach because the ferry port in Ireland was bland looking. Of course, where we landed in Wales was very picturesque and I couldn’t take pictures. Such is life.

After the ferry we drove pretty much straight on to Cardiff with only a brief stop at a service area. There we were given a few minutes to run about the city before getting into the castle for a tour. The tour of castle was a bit muddled by the place not having a proper guide, but it was very impressive. I didn’t get to go into the ruined keep due to time constraints, which rather bothered me.

After the rush job it was off to the hotel.
