Subject: Post: Although the ship is probably among the fastest this size ( 204m, 1850 passangers, 1100 vehicles ) of cruise ships in the world, driving at 35 knots, the journey to Greece still took over 20 hours. Now we have just arrived to Patra harbour, and our local contact Yannis should be waiting us somewhere around the harbour with his motorbike, and after finding him I would love swimming. Been watching the sea from the ship, and it looks so beatiful. The water is totally chrystal clear and deep blue, and the rock beaches of Greece full of sealife are so much nicer than the muddy tourist-packed sand beaches of Italian Adriatic Sea coast.<p>We spent the evening watching the rest of House M.D season 3 DVDs, eating and just hanging around. Late at night we were just too exhausted to stay up anymore, and slept a few hours somewhere on a floor. When the ship stopped in Igoumenitsa at early morning I had a chance to visit the car deck and finally get our inflatable mattress. All the people seemed to be sleeping on those all around the ship and we were so much regretting we didnt take it from the car before.<p>We set up the mattress outside on the deck, and enjoyed early morning warmness and the refreshing sea wind while sleeping for a few hours. At night it was crazy feeling to go outside. Inside the ship there was air conditioning and the air was cool and dry, outside was like a greenhouse, 30C and very very humid. When you go in you can feel the coldness. Totally opposite from what we have been used to. Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
