Superfast Ferry to Igoumenitsa Greece

April 15, 2011

That really is the name of one of the ferry lines to Greece, and about the only one running at this time of year. A different experience from the Croatian ferry line...a newer ferry on which we took an overnight cabin for 4 for the 9 hour journey. Dinner we ate before we even pulled out of the port as they loaded hundreds of trucks bound for Greece. There had been almost none on the Croatian ferry. It was fun watching them back these huge trailers into spaces with about a foot on each side. Again the journey was easy...quiet and uneventful. We had to get up shortly after 5 am for docking at 6:30. In usual Greek fashion, there was no one to direct traffic from the garage and everyone started their motors and sat. Carbon monoxide poisoning spared us...but only just. We exited to rain and coolness...a big change in the weather.
