Camping on board

This is a most amazing experience. We decided to save wear and tear on Delfin and the driver, by taking a mini cruise down the length of the Adriatic for 2 days.We sailed from Venice to Patras,on mainland Greece and then took a smaller ferry to Kefalonia via a port called Kyllini, which is further south down the coast of the Pelopenese.
One gets to experience life aboard  a mini cruise ship without having to book a cabin because you  sleep in the van in your own bed. Furthermore, we could use all the amenities on the ship as well as  have an electric hook up for Delfin so that the fridge, lights and cooker could all function and the batteries were charged at the same time.  Best of all, if we wanted to use the restaurant, then we didn't have to get dressed for dinner.

Our own special camping car deck where children can play, dogs are exercised and tables and chairs are set up for card games and wine tasting.
Pat and Angus from Derby....we  were a long way from home  but  shared time together on the voyage.

The coastline of Albania appears quite close. It looks rugged and barren. A German couple we met had driven through part of the country and said the roads are appalling. They took a whole day to cover 30 miles on one leg of their trip
Travellers brought their pets and these 2 chaps were grand guard dogs, but suckers for chocolate buttons.
