Oatcakes meet Baclavas!!

We are here !!
After lengthy waits on car parks, in traffic queues and inside booking halls, our feet are now firmly planted on Hellas, with beer and kebab on the table.
Back to Italy and a reminder to self. Avoid the S16 to Ancona!!
The mini cruise down the Adriatic was fine. We were within touching distance of Albania and made a quick stop at Igunamitsa or as we Stokies say, "pig in a mixer". We don't enjoy boats. There is only so much walking and eating you can do and the view is pretty boring ,,,,, water And more water.
We were the last on the ferry and the first off. The crewman parked us on the edge of a ramp that lowered for us to descend. It felt like a white knuckle ride as this void opened up so close to our front wheels.
Finally, the Rio Bridge and Patras.


It was then a case of driving straight through the city to reach Kilini before the last boat to Kefalonia. Too late ,so a night on the dockside and an early start this morning. 
And here we are. Kefalonia. Our next stop, after rubbing in the sun tan cream, was lunch and our first pitta bread pork sandwich with yogurt and salad. No wine yet as we have to drive to Katelios soon.
Thought that this might raise a laugh. Not one of Sue's better days aboard the ship!!
