Ferry from Dublin to Holyhead, Wales and scenes from Llandudno

Early morning for us.   Ferry sailed at 8:05.  Had to get up at 6.  Ulysses holds 1300 cars and 2000 people.   Today it was nearly empty.

 Too big to get in one picture
 From the ferry.  Port of Dubin with cars driving onto the ferry below
 Very empty ferry.  Lots in Wales returning to Ireland
 Off the back of the ferry. Ireland in the distance
 First glimpse of Wales. Note the weather then and later.  We have been so lucky!

 In case I get homesick

 Lewis Carroll was inspired to write Alice in Wonderland, after visiting here with Alice Liddel in the 1860’s and 70’s. There are several statues around town inspired by that story.
 The Queen of Hearts
Got that?
