Writing this blog is challenging, I'm swaying back and forth and I have only had one drink. We are rocking and rolling on the high seas enroute to Ireland. The ferry is about the same size as the Picton Ferry and the crossing is feeling very similar. The only difference is there is a large duty free shop on board, but its rather challenging looking at makeup and jewellery when you cant stand up straight!

Not too bad as we are doing another night in the same hotel. The sun is shining but there is a bit of a breeze, all good for helping blow the cobwebs out and making me feel like I might survive.

Nice and relaxing day today. Once we finally woke up we headed down to the restaurant to get our "included breakfast" a bombardment of weird looking food for breakfast, and after sifting thru rotten chinese eggs, and stuff we had no idea what it was, we managed to put together some form of suitable food.
