cead mile failte...

Following our visit to Conwy castle we caught the fast ferry from Holyhead to Dublin. The crossing was much like the weather in Wales...suprisingly good. No big waves or storm and so nobody got sick. When we come back to England next week we may not be so lucky; we'll be on the bigger, slower boat and, as we've seen before, the weather can be unpredicatble. So the boys may yet experience that "right of passage". We'll keep our fingers crossed while they keep their gravol handy.
Arrived in Dublin and got to The Highschool ahead of schedule, a first. Boys were greeted by the next group of hosts and were soon off for an evening's rest. Tomorrow will see a proper training session in the morning followed by a day at leisure in the city.
