On Wednesday the 21st we hopped on a Eurostar train from Rome heading to Bari. We decided to forego Naples and stay an extra three nights in Rome because we were having too much fun there. Plus, I almost feel bad for Naples. I think it's like the Los Angeles of Italy: no one has anything nice to say about it. Everyone we talked to mentioned the crime problem the city has, that there really isn't a lot to see other than Pompeii, and the only memorable thing about the city is its pizza. I did have "Neopolitan" pizza in Rome, mind you, and it was indeed pretty legit.
We got to Bari at 6:15pm, had a quick bite to eat and then went straight to the ferry terminal. We took an overnight ferry that left Bari at 10pm and arrives in Dubrovnik, Croatia at 7am. I had a tremendously difficult time trying to fall asleep, as the ferry was rocking and teetering so much that I thought I was going to get sick. I just laid in bed nauseous as all hell. Here's the cabin on the ferry:
Probably no more than a 8x6 compartment, but it worked.
I'll be going back in to Old Town Dubrovnik later today and will take some more photos. I'll post them later. Long story short, Dubrovnik is every bit as gorgeous as I heard it was and then some.
