Destination 399<br><br>[Arrival from Ferry]<br><br>After a night with more than just a fiew hours of sleep on the ferry from Greece, I arrived early in the morning around 7:00am scared facing the heavily industrialized City of Brindisi! The first sight of Italy was not the most charming - hopefully to be changed soon. Therefore, after arrival and one of the quickest Immigragtion check (1 Minute), immediate departure on motorbike to explore more charming places.<br><br>See next entry.

... entire time. We kept getting tickled, and finally Dennis got up, and located another compartment for us.<br><br>There is nothing more relaxing to me than to sit back and watch the world go by, on the train.<br><br>We arrived in Brindisi in just enough time to purchase and board our ferry. The room on the boat was small, but comfortable. We would arrive in Corfu the next morning.

Hey!! Thank you all for the wonderful comments, i love hearing from everyone I'm sitting in class right now, during our break. Today we have event management class!! it's pretty interesting, we planned an event proposal yesterday and today we are planning an agenda and using excel to create a billing list. it's actually pretty fun! The other day we took a surprise trip instead of Italian Class to a Nature preserve. We drove through a field of trees that ...

... We spent the next couple of days in the ´heel of the boot´, around the lovely town of Lecce with its stately squares and grand sandstone buildings, then to Otranto, with its ornate cathedrals, both highlights of the region. We crossed towards the ´ínstep of the boot´ to the village of Gallipoli, a fortified headland (virtually an island) where the fishermen in their traditional boats mended nets by the port. The ¨Heel´- a great place to spend a few days.

... time now, Brad could mix it up with the best of them, driving Italian style. Barge through a tiny space, hand on horn, mount kerbs, force pedestrians out the way, manoeuver through spaces with an inch free on either side, but it was no good. On the whole trip, after an hour and a half of trying, this one town defeated us. We´d planned to go and see the bones of St Nicholas (as in him of Father Christmas fame ...

At 8 in the evening, I went down to Corfu port and checked in with the ferry company only to be told there wasn't a sailing of that ferry that night. We were all perplexed that I'd been issued a ticket until the man behind the desk noticed that the ...

... Kate was left to meddle with some scrap wire while Sharm and Kel ran across the highway. There they found a non-English speaking guy who advised us not to smash and replace the window but to get in his car. A little concerned Kel and Sharm followed anyway to meet Mossimo - the lock expert. The four of them drove back to Millie to find Kate with a larger piece of metal looking a little frustrated but help was at hand. Mossimo got to work ...

... lots and enjoy it there. You paid a flat fee and you were given a glass and 4 ticket. This allowed you to have four platefuls of food and all the wine you could drink, although most people used the spittoons provided, I thought it would be a waste of delicious wine. The area was just a large hangar where the wine was made and had been cleared to accommodate many tables and chairs. One of the nice things about it was that the majority of the people there were Italians and we, the ...

16 July 2004 We left Candy and Naples early....thankfully.... we got the 8.13am train to Casserta to get the Eurostar train to Brindisi to catch a ferry to Corfu. The Eurostar train took 6 hours to get to Brindisi....no problem, very nice train with air conditioning and catering carriage.... We arrived at Brindisi to find everything closed, it was like a ghost town until we reached the bottom of the town, where we found hundreds of backpackers all waiting for the ferries to go to ...
