Where were we…

So last time we blogged, we were in Dublin for our last night. The next day, off to the ferry we went and boarded a fast ferry to cross the sea into Wales (Holyhead to be exact). Traveling by ferry is pretty damn good we’ve decided. It’s very smooth, it’s very quick (1h45 to get from Dublin to Holyhead), only have to be there 15mins early prior to leaving if you’re traveling by foot and no security check or anything stupid like that. And it’s cheap – 70€ for both of us! Plus it’s huge and very under-used, so you can really spread out or walk around, go out on the observation deck, grab a proper breakfast like we did… liked it.

Bit slow to update the blog… apologies all!

Berlin day 4 was a bit slower to start than the others. We hadn’t planned much of the remaining of the trip, which isn’t unusual, however it becomes more of a problem when there’s still heaps you want to see, but not enough time to see it. So we spent a bit longer than we’d hoped to plan the remainder. Turns out it was time well spent.

Since we got a lot out of our Paris hop-on, hop-off bus tour, we thought we’d do the same again in Berlin. Being that Berlin is such an enormous metropolis, you can’t exactly just walk around it and hope to see everything.
