4 day trip to Irerland. Day 1 was the ride over to Holyhead for a 0900 depart. Check in was ticketless and there were no further checks - passport never left my inside pocket. Same the other side, waved through the checkpoint. €3 to ride through the M50 tunnel (avoid peak times when it's €10 ) an opening for some superbly built and maitained roads with some fantastic bends ! Plenty to see and do in our chosen location of County Meath. Low traffic rates outside towns and fine weather helped our enjoyment. Not been since 2012 and was very glad to be back there.
Prices seem lower than the UK. Guinness, for example, was around €4.50 a pint about the same as the price rate in my local. Fuel more or less the same.
We crossed over the border to NI - nothing to note our crossing other than a large 60mph UK speed limit sign and a pot-holed poorly repaired road surface.
Highly efficient Stena crossing was impressive - 92 bikes on the sailing home ( racing in the north).
Great re-start to travelling again.
Ireland as destination highly recommended.
