Hi Irish eyes Don't get me started on ferry prices. I've booked a trip at Easter , from Cork, we live in Dublin! And for the summer too we're sailing from Rosslare. Both are so expesive. We are planning to buy a house in Brittany this year but getting there in the future gives me the shivers. The ferries are so expensive but flying seems to be out unless you like spending days at Luton, not much use for a long weekend really. At some time in teh future we hope to be able to decamp to Franc for the summer but for the moment I'll certainly be staying here although hubby and kids may be able to go for longer trips So far we've tried Dublin-Cherbourg and that's fine but expensive (1,800 return this summer). It's not a great boat either. How have you guys found it so far?
