Ok, so today was really just a travel day. They had to get the bus from Scotland back over to Ireland. We just go to go along for the ride.
Some of the road signs were quite humorous. When we left a town there was always a sign that says “Haste Ye Back”. The other sign I saw that I thought was great was a sign in the middle of a traffic circle. On one side it was welcoming you to the city, on the other side it read “Whist’s Yer Hurry?” We didn’t get a picture of that because the bus went by way to fast. lololol.
We made one comfort stop before we got to the ferry. It was a cool little store still in Scotland that reminded me of Fred Meyer. This store had a little bit of everything in it only cuter. It also had a full cafeteria in the back of the store.
The ferry that we rode over on was huge. They were loading semi trucks on it. The ferry ride was two hours long. At the front of the ferry was a lounge, followed by a cafeteria. Down the hall was a quite room if you just wanted to read. After that was a kids game room, a gift shop, casino, arcade and the concierge desk (which did currency exchanges for no fee). At the other end of the ferry was a theater room. Dwayne and I sat in there and watched a movie and I slept. =) The other half of the ferry was a truckers lounge basically. They had a lounge, shower and cafeteria.
After we got off the ferry we drove thru Belfast and then down into Dublin. I have to say that I had a really hard time staying awake and I’m ashamed to say that I slept through most of the drive.
We got into Dublin and we were so tired we just ate dinner in the hotel bar and went back up to our room. The food was pretty good though.
