The day we leave for Ireland, so excited!! Walked to the waterfall again this morning with Humphrey - Spotty said, no way!! The most amazing sight met us when we got near t he waterfall - those of you on facebook may have seen my write-up about this :-) The lady farmer had zoomed past us earlier before we left for the walk - now we discovered what she and her 3 dogs were up to - moving sheep. Not just moving sheep, moving sheep up a steep mountain, along a slate covered path - amazing. She had just the one dog working at first, then when we headed back she had a second dog helping round up the stragglers. I don't think I've seen many things as wonderful as those dogs working and those sheep going up and up the mountain. Of course neither of us had a phone or the camera as we'd been up yesterday and didn't think we'd see anything different. I'll add photos from last evening to try and show where the sheep were walking........
After all the usual breakfast and packing up we headed again for Holyhead, this time via the Menai suspension bridge Did more laundry, then spent the rest of the day at the sea front where the gypsies were setting up their fair. We walked the dogs to where we could watch the ferries coming and going, then back along the sea front for an ice cream.
After supper and packdown we headed for the ferry port. We were quite early so had a bit of a wait, but never having done this before we wanted to be early. Loading was very efficient, we parked on the top deck, left the doggies (help!!) and headed inside. Got a seat right up in front on the top. Was great having free wi-fi!! Did some colouring in when I got tired of using the internet, looked out the window, generally kept busy and was glad I didn't feel sick, even had a snack bar and cup of tea!! Was very surprised how soon Ireland came into view, was fascinating to watch it getting closer, and especially the last 45 mins or so when the crew were getting ready out the front below us.
Unloading was again very efficient, and with the help of our trusty (sometimes) satnav we negotiated Dublin and headed for Craig and Lyn. We were so tired, but found their place fine and crashed!!
this is the mountain the sheep were going up. there's a path about 3/4 of the way up going from left to right
