Wednesday 20th June, Poppit Sands Wales to Wexford Ireland

Woke to a sunny clear and calm day over Cardigan Bay, had breakfast outside looking over the bay. Sad to leave this beautiful peaceful place When we left gave a ride down to Cardigan to a nice woman called Marsha, who was a first grade teacher from Little Rock Arkansas, who spends her summers in UK going from YHA to YHA hostel by public transport. Cardigan was a very nice looking little town, looks quite prosperous, lots of people out and about in the town.

Then headed off to Fishguard to board car  ferry to Ireland. Had a visit to Tesco to stock up and headed to Stena ferry terminal. There was a whole group of vintage cars heading off to a rally in south of Ireland including a 1924 Rolls driven by an English prat. Left  Fishguard at 2.30 pm, spent a fairly relaxed journey, reading, watching TV, drinking Guinness  and arrived in Rosslare in south of Ireland at 6 pm to miserable raining evening.





 Half hour drive thru to Wexford where we reasonably easily found our lodgings for the night at a place called “StayinginWexford.com” that Lynds had found on late bookings –its  Brian’s  private house, a terraced house  with 4 bedrooms on 3 floors  which he lets out for 28 per night with use of kitchen and living room. All 4 rooms in the house were full last night one with us, one with couple from Texas and two to a family here on business from England. Whole house has been refurbished and was very clean and tidy, and we would highly recommend.
