Its a fairly quick and easy journey to Igoumenitsa on the Greek mainland, but the info i have been given is false again :( The only ferry tonight is it Bari in Italy, leaving about midnight and arriving at 09.30. So i take the ferry classed as a student to give me a cheap fare - i think the girl at the ferry desk was flirting with me :) Do i look 26, i ask you! So its an overnight ferry ride in a 4 birth cabin, sharing with god knows who - we never had the light on so i never saw their face! In reality the journey turns out to be 12.40 leaving and arriving 10.40 but i spend a fair chunk of that asleep.
I arrive at Bari with hopes of catching a train straight to Cosenza, a nice half way house for visiting Sicily and allowing me to see Cotronei (i will explain that one later). Due to the ferry being late i cant arrive in Cosenza until about 22.10 and i have the next 5 hours in Bari to wait for a train. So I go shopping and eat my way through the next few hours.
Bari is a large port town that is not built for tourists. I'm glad I'm not spending the night here...i hope.
