Farewell, Dublin. Hello, Isle of Man.
I left Dublin this morning and flew to the Isle of Man, which is in the Irish Sea between Dublin and Liverpool.
Good news: I drove over 160 km / 100 miles across the island and the picture-taking was amazing.
Bad news: I was up very early this morning (curse you, insomnia!), so I don’t have a lot of energy left for writing after editing photos. They shall have to speak for themselves tonight.

A funny story from this morning’s travels, as described at the time on Facebook:
It’s going to be one of those days, I see.
Had a moment of panic that I had left my laptop somewhere in the airport terminal.
Looked around for a moment and found it quickly.
On my lap.
This is what happens when you wake up three hours ahead of your alarm.
