Saturday 26 June Wexford

Am awake at five and up before six and have coach at the front of the hotel by seven!
The main cases are supposed to be brought down to me between between 07:00 and 07:30.
The night porter goes off duty at seven and his replacement arrives at seven thirty.
The night porter brings one lot of cases down and then I wait 45 minutes for the next lot! It is not a problem as breakfast isn't until 08:15 and we are not leaving until 09:15.
Finally I load all of the cases and go back to have a shower before enjoying a nice breakfast and then we are off on time.
The roads are clear and the sun is out, lovely driving conditions. We stop for a coffee at a garden centre near Youghal before going on to Waterford for our lunch stop.
It is very busy here with plenty of places to eat and shop and a local scout band complete with bag pipes.
On leaving Waterford I am directed to the new by-pass and within an hour I am in Waterford.
The passengers now have time for a walk in Wexford before dinner if they wish.
I am the only coach here and can park in the car park which is a lot easier for the morning as I'm facing the right way for Rosslare.
I once again enjoy my dinner in the bar watching Ghana play America, wishing it had been England playing tonight instead of against Germany tomorrow!
