We‘re on the Ferry and it‘s just leaving Hull on a long night journey to Rotterdam.
The day started early, getting the ferry from Dublin to Holyhead, then crossing Wales and England to Hull.
When we‘ll arrive tomorrow morning, we‘ll drive 6-7 hours to Pforzheim where Patrick will be getting badly needed specialist treatment for his hip.
Last Friday, Pádraig had, of course, the big 3 0, with some socially distanced friends calling in to wish him well, joined by dozens who had sent cards, messages, and joined a big Zoom call. One of his friends even had assembled a huge number of personal video messages which he edited into a 20 minutes plus mini-movie, with friends calling from their homes, their canoe, and even from their retreat in Nepal!
I‘m typing this from my phone, trying to finish up before we‘ll loose the internet.
Ahoi!
¡Buen viaje!
¡Gracias, Eva! – Llegamos bien.
Safe travels Rheinhard and Padraig. I hope all goes really well in Pforzeim.
Great to hear about the celebrations on our joint birthdays, Padraig!⭐. I’d a lovely day too. The highlight was when i finished my 29th 2.9 km walk in the evening and celebrated by raising a toast to the fantastic donors who had so kindly and generously supported my fundraiser for ” Caring for Padraig”. Huge thanks to all.

Got here ok, Raphael. Thank you for your good wishes.
Thank you and your fabulous supporters for your epic 29 days of 2.9k walk, and the incredibly generous support for Pádraig.
