Holyhead car ferry port.


We rolled into the car ferry port at Holyhead. This is a sort of close point between the UK and the Republic or Ireland -- except of course for Northern Ireland, which is a really close part of the UK to the ROI.

It doesn't look like much, but we felt a certain excitement and tension. You pull up in a lane then you sit and wait. Driving the car onto the ferry was fun. I kind of did some bumper-car action on the guide rails. Right-hand drive really throws off that car-to-body cognitive mapping.

Holyhead, btw, is a bit of a dump.
