Ferry to Stromboli.

2007.06.29
Me and Marta, who spoke just enough English to help me figure out what was going on with the tickets. She took very good care of me. :)

YAY! Siremar finally acknowledges the very confused and lost-looking Medmar passengers who got assigned to their boat. It only took 2 hours, which is really not bad, I hear. (Screenshot from a video; sorry for the low quality.)

I have a ticket! I'm still going to make it to Stromboli!

Happy me!

The inside of my luxury vehicle. Proof that I really did make it on the ferry. Marta found me and told me where she and her family were sitting, saying, "If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask." So sweet. :)

Alleged departure time. I was expecting it to be very late, due to the confusion, but we left 7 minutes later.

Full moon over the water. So beautiful!

I had a ticket on Medmar, who canceled their ferry and assigned everyone to a Siremar boat. The day before, the regular Siremar boat crashed into a dock at one of the other islands. Siremar ended up using a smaller boat for the run, upsetting many customers who had paid for cabins and would now be forced to sit with the rest of us plebes. Despite all the issues, however, and thanks to help from Marta, I managed to make it on board a Siremar ferry to Stromboli. Whew!
