Irish Ferries

Met a Canadian guy on my way onto the ferry and we hung out for the 18.5 hour ride...
We played cards, and talked about travelling. At one point, we wanted to see how long we could go without checking the time, but there was a theatre on the boat so we needed to see if we'd missed the good movies so we didn't actually last very long. Then he went exploring and found out that the bar had a live music playing (two guys playing covers) so we went up for that. Had a guiness at the bar, but the ferry people water it down so that was ferry disappointing I must say. I didn't stay long at the bar because Jon (the Canadian) had me set an alarm for 5 because he thought it would be cool to watch the sunrise over the ocean.
So I was up before 5 and figured it wouldn't have started yet and let him sleep a little longer, but we eventually got up and took our blankets upstairs to stare out a window - it was too cold outside. We were there for an hour and the sunrise was very pretty. I took two pictures of the sunrise, and three of Jon sleeping through the sunrise. Seriously! He thought it was such a great idea and literally sat down and went back to sleep. It was hilarious though because he would wake up every once in a while and want to know where the sun was. Technically, we went back downstairs before we actually saw the sun cause it was hiding behind some clouds, but I saw it go from dark to light outside and there were the appropriate pretty colours and that was all that I needed.
Got on a bus to Cork after the ferry and now I'm ready for some pub food and Guinness.
Write again soon!
