We LOVE Ancona, Italy!

14 08 2008

Surprise surprise, we had a great nights sleep under the stars of our sun loungers!! Oh the life of the rich and famous!!

We ate breakfast (apples), then sunbaked, read our books (Yes Jordan is still reading at this point), went to the toilet, and then made marmite sammies for lunch. Yes, this is how fun it is on a 22 hour ferry!!

When we docked in Italy at Ancona, we were stoked to find cheap luggae storagge…we then found out why it was so cheap…ANCONA IS CRAP! Talk about a ghost town…not even the locals knew where the centre of the city was! Our next ferry didnt leave until 9:00pm that evening so we had the day to fill in…

….we went for a walk…to know-where…

We did however find a Pizza parlour open that evening managed to get some nice Itlian Pizza, despite our bag getting pissed on by a passing dog…CAN OUR DAY GET ANY BETTER?!!!

We were glad to get on the ferry…until we got on the ferry and saw that it was terrible. I know we sound like we are complaining all the time now, but when a ferry charges 2.50 Euro for a small water you know something is wrong. We spent the night with some Aussies, before sleeping upright over our bags. Oh the life…can we start our holiday yet??!!….

At least we’ll be in Croatia tommorrow!! Yay!





Dont Forget to Check In!

13 08 2008

Once again an average sleep in our now SHIT hostel. The thought in the back of our heads was that this is the last bed we’ll see for 2 nights…isnt this suppose to be a holiday?!!

This morning we stocked up on supplies and gathered our things, said goodbye to the hostel kittens and headed to the metro. Today was moving day, heading to Italy then Croatia..two ferries in a row!!

From the metro we caught the local bus before then catching our favourite 3 hour bus to the west coast of Greece in Patras to meet up with our fav 22 hour ferry…good times!! This time we were prepared, Jax ran on ahead of the crowd to grab our sun loungers/Beds!! Well that was the plan..but we forget to check in and were promptley told to get off the boat. We thought we had lost our sun loungers for sure. But the relay began…Jordan began by sprinting to the check in office to check in, before passing the tickets to Jax who ran on the boat to get our place. We got our sun loungers and are now thinking of joining the NZ Olympic Relay team!!

The boat left Patras and we headed off to Italy…we were so glad that this was the last time…
