a slow boat to VENICE BOSKO 2008-07-12 18:26:33 we left Naxos in the morning, got a high speed ferry to Piraeus, train to Athens and bus across the country to Patras... we were on a Ferry to Venice by midnight the same day! we spent 2 nights on board, and were able to catch up on a little work blogging and editing... and even communication because they had WiFi on board! we couldn't believe it! we surprised a few friends and family by calling them on Skype and showing them Italy from one side of the ship, walking to the other side and showing them Albania... it was bizarre, and b&h love technology! arriving in Venice was incredible... the ferry entered through the town, with canals and breathtaking architectural beauty appearing before us as if in a dream once off the ferry it was stinking hot - hotter than Athens, and we struggled to get to the train station over many bridges and steps with the safari baggage...  |
