Brindisi 1998

20.7.98 - Another long day of travelling, Stephen drove all day.  Travelled along the highway glad to get out of southern Italy.  Got to Brindisi and found out the ferry left at 7 pm.  We booked a cabin and sat in the park all day.  The boys played handball, a bitch of a day. When we got to the port it was filthy, the toilets were filthy - shit all over the walls. We arrived at about 4 pm and sat in the car, too unsafe to do anything else.  We boarded at about 6 pm.  Cabin was small, old shower bath and toilet.  Food was good and before we knew they were waking us up to get off.

Day 25 - Today we got on a ferry to go from Brindisi to Greece.  It took 10 hrs to get to Greece so we slept on the ferry over night.  On the ferry we took our car so it was sort of like a ship.  We ate a meal on the ship and it was really nice food because the Greeks are really good cooks.  Joshua had spaghetti and he said it was better than the Italian spaghetti, which is pretty good I think.  In the afternoon we sat and had bagels and coke because we were one of the first people on the ship.

Day 25 - We got up early and did a long drive down the coast of southern Italy. We bought some tickets for our ferry trip to Greece.  Because the ferry didn't leave until late we played handball in a square of the city.  We played some other games as well until 4.30pm.  Then we drove to the docking area and got on our ferry.  We had a cabin on our ferry, it was pretty small and had a shower and two lots of double bunks.  I am sleeping of one of the top bunks and mum is sleeping under me.  There is a nice dinning area and a lot of cars are coming in.  There is a room where there are some video games and a lot of poker machines.
