Ferry Tales from Italy to Greece

After a horrible night in the train from Roma to Brindisi (yes, another sleepless one) i arrived quite tired at the small city of big ferries. Had to screw my time from dusk till dawn to get on the way to sunnier days (at least i thought so!). Catched up with many other travelers: Met a Japanese who hardly spoke English (...and travels round Europe for 1 month, is it possible?) and a very nice Australian couple which makes there 1 year honeymoon before the wedding by discovering the entire planet, quite interesting!

After a great night and shower (ohoueraaa, i could catch some hours sleep at the cinema room of the ferry) i was prepared for another country. But what i saw really frightened me: Around 20 albanian guys (givem a trial) tried to find their luck in western Europe by trying to get into one of several trucks to Italy. Funny, the police could not do anything and it looks that they are playing hide and seek with an unfair ration: 2 police men against 20 albanian. For sure, nothing serious will happen, at least not to police, because they have been powerless. So, i could follow the pace around for at least an hour. And that happens in front of the doors of Europe! I was scared, but finally they did not rob any of several tourists...
