Hey everyone, following up with my Prague adventure, the next place on my list was Chester in the UK! What made it different this time is that I didn't take a flight there. From Dublin, I traveled with my family using a ferry connecting Dublin to Hollyhead
We woke up early in the morning about 6am, drove to Dublin Port and walah! We're heading in to the Irish Ferry. The journey took us 3 1/2 hours to reach Hollyhead, and it was pretty much a fine ride as the waves weren't choppy or anything. Just sailing the seas!
Here are some photos on the ferry ride:
We arrived at Hollyhead port at about 11am, and drove up for about an hour to Chester. Chester is a small town in Wales, UK which is a nice place for a getaway. We stayed in a small inn called The Ormonde at Brook Street which is about a 10 minute walk from town. Pretty cozy place, and the innkeeper looks like "The Collector" in the Marvel Series
As for the next 2 days, its pretty much walking around Chester itself and also exploring the old cathedrals in the area
Lets head to some pictures shall we?
Check out the town:
One of the main highlights in Chester is the Chester Cathedral. Built enormous and grand, it definitely is a cathedral you don't want to miss! Entrance is free by the way, so its up to you if you would want to donate to the Cathedral
Check it out:
The interior:
and last but not least:
Chester is a great place to run away from the hustle and bustle of the city, so if you're in the area, it'll be great if you could spend a night there!
I'll be updating soon on the rest of my trip!
