We left our cute little Three Crowns Hotel with a great breakfast. Caution: this hotel is not for tall people. Justin bumped his head on lamps, ceilings, everything! But so so cute.
We drove all day from Salisbury to Liverpool. It really shouldn’t have been that long of a trip but the traffic was terrible. Stop and go most of the way. We finally arrived in Liverpool and kicked ourselves for not staying here longer. But, we had an amazing Indian meal. The place was called Mawgli and it served Indian street food.
The next morning bright and early (9:30) we left for Dublin. We took 2 taxi’s because of all our luggage wouldn’t fit in one, then managed our way through a local train line to Chester, a Virgin train to Holyhead (the port), a shuttle to the ferry, then a ferry across to the Republic of Ireland!! Not as simple as just jumping on a ferry but not difficult at all, unless you are us and have a ton of luggage and the trains have no room for luggage.
The ferry was really nice and we upgraded to the club level that had free snacks and drinks. The seats were comfy and the WiFi was good (the most important thing for the kids)!
Kind of weird to be on a boat again!
We arrived in Dublin and couldn’t get a cab even though I called for one. We need a system like in New York City. A gentleman who had a big van who transported a big group from our ferry came back to get us so we were able to get into the city. He was very nice and we got his number so we can call him for our return trip.
Our first night in Dublin and what do we do?? Go out for sushi!!
Great atmosphere and great food. We have plenty of time for local foods, right??
