Once back on the bus, we drove from the west to east coast of Italy to board our overnight ship that departed from Bari. I really didn’t know what to expect from the ship experience but it was pretty fun in the end and the rooms were totally fine, it felt like being at camp. 

Once we were on board it was free time, so most of us grabbed dinner in the ship restaurant, some stopped by the ship bar and we all watched the most incredible sunset as we sailed the Adriatic sea east. Inside the ship cabins were 3 other girls and myself from the tour with two sets of bunkbeds. All rooms had an ensuite shower and toilet, plus outlets to charge our phones. I bought the WIFI on the boat and it worked ok but I didn’t really need it. I ended up sleeping so long this night which was great to catch up on sleep before Greece. 

As always breakfast is included, the ship captain gave us our breakfast time when we boarded. The ship ported in Greece around noon, Greek time – there was one hour time change. When we ported in Greece we had a bus waiting for us to drive us to Poros! A lot of downloaded Mama Mia to watch on the way to our island !
