Crossing the border to France, traveling via the Champagne to Bretagne.
After around 1200km we arrived at the port in Brittany 🇫🇷
We made it.
Arriving “home” in Northern Ireland.
The Irish weather in April: very windy, hail, a bit of sun, and mostly rain. Did I mention how cold it was? 😅
Full bellies. Happy faces.
Ever wondered how fish & chips take away for 5 persons looks like?
A trip to the coast: windy Newcastle.
The famous Irish Aga:
I had some wonderful days in Ireland. Sleeping in. Reading books. Painting by numbers. Gardening (or being amazed by mother-in-laws skills to use the chain saw cutting wood). Enjoying the sunshine & the windy sea. Catching up with family & friends. Enjoying fantastic food. Pancakes & ham for breakfast. Lamb for Easter Sunday roast. Homemade pizza. Fish & Chips. Sticky Toffee Pie… also glad to have spent the crazy week of politics in Ireland, love their humor, the only way to be able to cope with that shxx.
It was very relaxing & simply wonderful – nothing to do, and the only truly important decision we had to make was when and what to eat with who. Thank you all for catching up with us and spoiling us rotten 💚☘️🇮🇪
A week off was not enough. Lol. Lucky me, my vacation continuous. I’m moving on to a sunny(er) place and more of that island time… leaving hubby behind for a bit longer with his family…
…speaking of which. Diesel prices along our way, because it’s the topic these days and we have a big 70 liter tank to fill…
Germany (our home town): 2.40€/liter
France (Champagne): 2.30€/liter —> hot tip: “Total” selling diesel for 2.09€/liter !!!! Unfortunately most gas stations were sold out 😳
Ireland: 2.14€/liter
Northern Ireland: 1.81pound/liter
