I have awoken to the sights and sounds of a port. We are in Ravenna. Finally of all those days at sea,it is finally nice to see land. The boat has been a hive of activity all night. They have been loading new trucks that need to be delivered to Turkey and Israel. Eventually, at about 8 am,the boat sets sail for Koper, Slovinia. The passage across the sea should only take 8 hours.
And true to form, we arrive in Koper late in the afternoon. After docking, we are permitted to go ashore and see the sights and sounds of Koper. Clemens and I walk the entire town end to end winthin no time. Nice to be able to get off the boat after been confined to the boat for almost 5 days now. After having a couple of local beers we return to the boat to find that its been overrun by new cars. They are in the process if loading 1600 cars and hence every inch of the boat, including the top deck is been covered with cars. It is an impressive sight to see all these new cars. And the first thought that comes to mind is " And there is a recession? "
The loading is scheduled to take al night, Clemens and I decode to hit the sack.
