Leaving for Greece

Greece Trip, Day 1

There's not so much to tell for the first day ... We had a many-hour bus ride from Rome to Bari, where we got on a cruise ship for Greece. In Bari we visited the Church of St. Nicholas, where his body remains today.

The ship, called the Superfast Ferry, does not provide adequate portions of food for teenaged boys. Luckly, I had packed some food as well, so everything was fine. It was a cool ship, though, and many of us hung out on the deck and talked or just watched the sea and the islands as we passed.
