More ferries

July 13-Day 13

Well, we survived that night on the deck. The floor was a bit hard, but I got myself a few of our travel towels (hand towel size) and put them under my hips and that made a big difference. Colton and Miranda had a great sleep. They slept till almost 9am. We had a breakfast of Baklava that we picked up last night at the port bakery. We are back to drinking small, strong Italian coffee. We got to Ancona before noon, stayed at the ferry port to try to fiqure out where to go next. The people there were quite helpful as we went from company to company asking scedual times and prices. We initally planned on going to Zadar, Croatia but the ferry going there only left the next evening. So the next option was a toen further south called Split. So we hung around the town of Ancona till our overnight ferry departure for Split at 8 pm. This ferry trip we splurged on a berth. It was a bit more expensive but we figured we would have spent more by spending the night in a hotel and taking the ferry the next day so we did it. We also needed to sleep on a bed as last night was the ferry floor.
