So I just concluded a 17 hour ferry ride from Patras to Bari and am just waiting for my 9 hour ferry from Bari to Dubrovnik which departs this evening at 10pm. Since there is absolutely nothing to do in Bari, I thought that this would be the perfect time to update the ol' blogsky, as I have been neglecting it since we left Naples.
