Sunday 27 June Home!

Breakfast is at 06:30 this morning and we are leaving at 07:15 hoping to arrive in Rosslare 20 minutes later.
All goes to plan and after a small wait at the docks we are soon loaded onto this vast ferry. The only coach on this crossing.
I didn't have breakfast in the hotel prefering to wait and have it on the boat.
Once again I have a cabin and enjoy an unexpected couple of hours kip during the journey.
We are a few minutes late arriving in Pembroke, driving off the ferry at 13:00.
Today is all about stopping at the right time so we can listen to the football on the radio! England play Germany today in the World Cup and I wish I was in the pub watching but never mind the radio will do.
Our first stop is at Pont Abraham services (not the best but convenient for the football!) and we leave here at 14:50, just in time for the 15:00 kick off.
The radio is on throughout the coach and we are all waiting in anticipation of an England victory.
It all goes wrong as we are beaten 4-1 by the Germans and the feeling of deflation and frustration is horrible.
I have everybody dropped off and am home by 20:00.
