Day 2 -Things Naughtical

So far on blogoshere world timeline we have not arrived at our summer holiday destination.  I'm sorry about that but my PC has been playing up and only logging me in on a temporary basis. This appears to be a feature of Windows 7 but eventually I found out where my files had been hidden.

Here is one of many shots of Venice leaving on a car ferry to Greece: 

Pink balloons give us a send off and remind us how good it is to be healthy

This unusually named tug helped us manouver through the lagoon channel 

Under glorious alto cirrus we head for the open Adriatic.

 The Kriti 2 car ferry was  state of the art when built in Japan in 1979 (and operated by the Shit-Nipponkai Ferry company until 1995) and provided many amenities and activities provided for the 36 hour juddering and shaking voyage South.

1. Plastic chairs too uncomfortable to sit on for more than 5 minutes.

2. Camping deck

3. Empty swimming pool and 2 funnels painted with "ANEK" logos.

4. Spectacular lower deck hanky-panky to watch whilst eating souvlaki

5. Unprecedented view from my open air bedroom

6. On demand video entertainment (subject to bringing it yourself)

7. A Greek Orthodox chapel dedicated to my name Saint is located on the mezzanine deck next to the duty free shop.

8. The route may be studied to detect any discernible progress on the navigator's PC.

Eventually we arrive in Greek waters and the crew deem it safe to raise the old Royal ensign.

In the next episode Mr Slater's Parrot 5 comes good after 3 years up a mountain.
