Who was on the Sirena anchored off Holyhead today?

[Techno123]

Went on a nice 10 mile walk along part of the Ynys Mon (Anglesey) coastal path today and what did I see anchored just outside Holyhead harbour but the Sirena 😁. Hope you all enjoyed the beautiful Welsh weather and have all learnt how to pronounce (or at least visited) Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch? 😜😜

Holyhead is definitely not the prettiest town on Anglesey but there is some stunning scenery a stones throw away. Here are some pictures of your ship taken on my walk and a few others from the very local area from today's walk.

Enjoy the rest of your cruise xx

Not on Sirena, but bore da! I'm afraid my Welsh is limited to "Yma O Hyd" (full lyrics one day?) and "Aberystwyth" (fun camera obscura above town).

Just make sure you are cheering Wales on in their first match of the World Cup finals 😜😜 Cymru am byth.

We had a fantastic land based holiday on Anglesey last year. Amazing quiet beaches. The Labrador loved it. Thanks for piccies of the Sirena who we will sail on in November😀

I don't even have a clue how to pronounce "Ynys Mon" !!!  We had a lovely private tour from Holyhead [Ogwen Valley, Cym Idwal hike, lunch at The Ugly House Tearoom, etc.] in 2018, but I couldn't pronounce anything in Welsh...

I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Anyone on a UK cruise this week and next is going to have fabulous weather 😁.

 

It is a very different language (Double L is pronounced like a cl and ch as though you are clearing your throat and no K, Q, V, X or Z ) and I am very proud that despite being part of the UK our devolved government promotes the Welsh language and culture. There are many who condemn the use of bi- lingual signs etc but it would be so sad if Welsh (which is the first language of many people who live on Anglesey, Gwynedd and the rural areas of North Wales) were to disappear 😢

When I worked in Scotland as a district nurse, my ability to say LlanfairPG in full was the only thing that got me across the threshold 😂😂

We were anchored there on the same ship on June 24th and had a beautiful tour all around the area...amazing, diverse scenery!

Thanks for the beautiful photos!  We've been to Wales, but not this part.
