Leaving Greece

So we have decided to change our plans. We tried to get out of Santorini the night of the 20th but our ferry was canceled so we had to get another night at our hostel and take a day ferry this morning. Sucked because the ferry was 8 hours long and we wasted a whole day on the boat in the Agean Sea in a wind storm with everyone pucking and getting drenched by the water spraying up on the boat...and this is a BIG ferry...for 8 HOURS! I'm still sloshing 6 hours later! We would have rather slept on the boat and saved some money on accomodations. Oh well. We decided we wouldn't highly recommend Santorini to anyone unless you didn't want to do anything but eat and buy art. Really.

We decided that we are done with Greece. We have only seen Athens and Santorini but we feel done. It's hard to tell if we are just getting burnt out on travel in general or if we are tired of seeing ruins (which I know is true for the meantime).

Tomorrow we are heading for the west coast to Patras to take ANOTHER ferry all the way to Bari Italy (14 HOURS!). I just pray that the waters are clam so we can sleep (this one IS an overnight boat). Once we get off the boat we have a 5 hour train ride to Naples where we are staying because it is cheaper then Sorrento (where we want to be).

There we will see the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii. We also needed to cut some days out of our itinerary to make sure we made it to Spain on time and we decided that we want more time in Switzerland. So we are leaving Greece 6 days ahead of schedual but we are fine with it.

Sorry I can't check spelling...this computer is in french for some reason and it thinks every word is wrong!

Love you all!
