Since, I am here until Sunday the earliest, I decide to reduce my costs by moving from a hotel to a hostel. The Port Inn hostel, is also within walking distance of the shipping agents, which makes it possible for me to keep on top of things.
At the Port Inn, I encounter another fellow biker on a Ural, with side car. Clemens, an Austrian, has been on the road for the past 5 months. He has done most of Easter Europe and now also needs to get back to Europe via ferry. He has also booked on the same ferry and, is as frustrated as I am.
We decide to make a quick visit to the local agents just to see if there has been a change in status. The lady at the agency said the news was worse than we initially thought and that the boat would be delayed indefinitely. However, she did elude to another Grimaldi ship that we perhaps could be moved to which sea due on Saturday. Needless to say, Clemens and I are over the moon at this thought! After a couple of emails and phone calls, and is arranged and we now have tickets for the other Grimaldi ship called Spes. You do not understand the relief of knowing we have alternatives to spending indefinite time in Haifa. After dinner we decide to do some drinks with people from the hostel and end up getting really trashed and only get home at 3am.
