Mt adventures in Ireland 🇮🇪

@lead and I were traveling around Britain. Yesterday morning in Holyhead, Wales, we picked our next stop — Ireland.

To decide how to get there, we flipped a coin: heads, the ferry; tails, the plane.
Heads it was, so we went for a four-hour ride across the sea 🛳️

About five minutes before arrival we started talking about Ireland and Northern Ireland, and right before passport control we suddenly realized Ireland isn’t part of the Schengen Zone or the UK, which means you actually need a visa to get in 🚪

They let me through — I usually don’t even check visa rules, my passport works almost everywhere — but Max wasn’t so lucky. He got a “Permission to Land Refused” paper and a free ticket back to Wales.

So I explored Ireland alone (you can see more stories from here on my main account — @borz) while Max headed back to the UK.
Someone, please, send him a “Champion of Border Control” gift 🏆
