...is normally a painful experience; saying goodbye to family and friends knowing I won't see them for up to 18 months. However this time I know I will see them in Europe and then back in Ireland so it was relatively easy.The night before our departure we met mates in Dublin and had some pints. On the way home we made an unusual diversion to a Casino (in Dublin?? New to me!!) Paula 'The Shark' proceeded to pocket 500Euro. I, on the other hand was happy to get a free vodka and tonic!
The next morning We set off with full tummys and lingering hangovers to make the four hour drive to Rosslare to catch our 22 hour ferry to Le Havre, France. Very sketchy weather was bringing back memories of being on Irish Ferrys with puke rolling down the stairs and corridors but I am happy to report it has been a very smooth sailing so far. We are now half way to France and it looks like the sun is shining. I had a good nights sleep on the lounge chairs (tight arse backpackers - no budget for a cabin) but Dave decided to watch movies through the night and save his snoozing for the day time leg.
France here we come!! The most important thing for us now is to remember to DRIVE ON THE RIGHT....!
