Kilmore Quay

The summer did not last long its 10deg cooler and rain forecast. Drove down to a fishing village on
south coast for a fishy Sunday lunch and to check out the free overnighting spots recommended by an Irish man we met. Very nice lunch and but it's raining again, as promised, so not a nice place for a free night. Next stop was going to be Waterford for some holiday shopping, so I put the destination in GPS and set off. Just rounding a bend when "in 400 metres turn left on R273 and board ferry".

Gladys (our GPS) had  planned a route via one of only two car ferries in Ireland. By now the option was to take the ferry to Passage East  or drive an extra 30 miles in the rain. Fortunately it crossed every 15 minutes even on Sunday so we took it!  We are spending the night at a Golf complex with campsite near Dunmore East, very posh toilet block. It's still raining, but at least my cold is getting better.
