Day Two: Travel to Ireland

Friday morning (May 5th), my family and I took the train from Reading to Fishguard, Wales, and then proceeded to travel by ferry to Roselare Harbour on the southwest coast of Ireland.

There was one item of note on the train journey: our train was stopped outside the town of Cardiff for about 20 minutes, due to an incident involving armed police. We later learned that there was a man carrying a machete and a gun on the platform, and he had to be removed by the police. Fortunately, no one was harmed.

Here is a view of Roselare Harbour taken from the ferry as we came into port.


Over the weekend we stayed with some of our relatives (on my mother's side) who live in County Wexford, at their beautiful home, Tullabard's House.


The rest of the day was mostly spent visiting, and resting from all of our journeys.
