Day Five

Today we got up at five in the morning to have breakfast at 5:30 and leave for the drive to the ferry at six.

First we drove four hours from Sorrento to Bari. When our bus was drivig over the cliffs of Sorrento, I put my iPod on shuffle and "Since I Left You" by the Avalanches came on. It was the perfect musical accompaniment to saying goodbye to the most beautiful city I've ever visited (Youtube it). At Bari we got on the ferry which would take ten hours to get to Igoumenitsa in Greece, where we will stay one night and then head to the isle of Corfu on another ferry.

We passed the time by drinking beer, playing card games, looking at each others' photos on our cameras, and sleeping. We wanted to play sardines as well but there weren't any good hiding places. Towards the end when the sky got dark, we crossed through a point where we could see the twinkling lights of Albania on one side of the ferry, and Greece on the other.

Long story short, now we're in Greece! Corfu tomorrow, we're going on a boat trip with a guy called George who is meant to be hilarious.
