Unfortunately our ship was unable to dock in Holyhead. However I wanted to include it. I have repeated below the blog post from our previous stop in Holyhead. Enjoy!
"In
the summer of 2018 we took a cruise that circumnavigated Ireland with a
stop in Holyhead, Wales. Holyhead is the home of a town that had the
longest place name in Europe until January 31st, 2020. That was the
date of the completion of Brexit. Now the longest name in the European
Union is held by a town in Finland. The longest in the WORLD is held by
a location on the North Island, New Zealand."
Below is a picture of a sign with the Welsh name, Llanfairpwllgwngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, and a video of it being pronounced by a weather man.
Enjoy!

So, wonderful trip! I am grateful for the links! Also, curious how long the weatherman had to practice or how much he had to drink to master or bluff the pronounciation!
Good question!!
