Visiting Tewkesbury and the Cotswolds, with some famous tourist towns.

After the on-time arrival of the ferry in the UK, we found a nice although not too quiet place along the beach despite this being a slow Monday in mid-May.

After a truly wonderful wedding celebration, the next day was departure day for the various guest groups to their various destinations and with their different transportation modes. Once more, we loaded the bus and ventured on to finish the Ring of Kerry and then across some small mountain passes straight towards Dublin, where we spent a short night to catch the early morning fast catamaran ferry, the Dublin Swift, again.

Wonderful location on the Beach, set in the famous surroundings of the Ring of Kerry in Southwestern Ireland.

Traveling across the Burren to some of the most famous sights in Western Ireland on our way to the final destination of Waterville, Kerry.

This time above water, we made the crossing into Ireland. Doggie went to Brewdog pub and we had a lovely stroll along the lake at Lough Rea in the evening.

A big figure-eight loop through the various valleys and across the many passes in Snowdonia. Select pictures from three different cameras and photography methods…

A tourist tour through the Welsh mountain near Snowdonia National Park. Ah, and let’s not forget the 2nd trip to Llandudno for a 2nd visit to the Vet for another tapeworm treatment (required for Ireland), and the world’s best (maybe) Fish & Chips.

Encountering some interesting Welsh names and scenery on the way. And the Van is obviously playing out its advantages, fridge and camping table and chairs and all, to pull off the road and enjoy the sunset.

Hiking the “Mother Mountain”, and given two drivers and a holiday exploration trip, Farkas and I even got the benefit of adding a one-way section and being picked up by the Van the other end.
