First: It was 25th december and just some hundred meters out of the harbor in Genoa (Genua/Genova-Italy) we already had waves that were higher than the biggest wave we saw all the way down to greece. Later that night and the following day we experienced a heavy winter storm producing waves that you normaly only see in catastrophe-movies. Second: The ferry with name "Habib" was smaller. Third: I didnt use any sea sickness prophylaxis. Forth: Our cabine was far from the center of the boat (normaly the center of a boat is the best place against sea sickness). Fifth: EVERYBODY on board was sea-sick (except the captain maybe), everybody was vomiting and all flush-lavatroys were full and clogged !! (imagine the smell !!) Sixth: There were sliding doors on every cabine and because of the high waves they permanently openend and closed with a heavy noise, so sleeping was impossible. So I was sea-sick for almost 24 hours. Think the ferry "Habib" was named after the tunisian president Habib Bourguiba, who was president from 1957 to 1987, he was born 3rd august 1903 and died 6th april 2000. Some years ago I heard they replaced this ferry by a bigger and more modern boat.I dont know if the "good" old Habib is still in use somewhere or already scrapped. If anybody knows that, please let me know. Yes, you are right about that story with the ferry to Tunisia, but there were some big differences.

Our lunch and coffee break was more expensive than the flight to Venice. :-O I am really wondering how these big ferrys can pass through this small laguna between Venice and Lido. I couldn't believe that the water is deep enough for these ships. :-O Sauga, concerning your hymn of praise for ferrys: May I remind you of the ferry that goes from Italy to Tunisia? If I remember that right, you had some "problems" because of heavy seas and high waves. Didn't you see your breakfast a second time there? ;-) The prices are really crazy in Venice.

Its real fantastic seeing all the famous tourist spots from onboard and the size of the ferrys is incredible. They can load more than 600 cars or 150 truck & 100 cars and more than 2000 passengers. Some models even more. If anyone of you wants to go to greece by car or motorbike, use one of this ferrys its worth every single cent. And by the way its much safer, faster and more relaxing than using the road going to greece.

I almost got a heart-attack when they brought the bill for our two cafe. Later we ate lunch in a pizzeria in a small side street. They had acceptable prizes even though it was carneval weekend. Very good pictures as usual. Congratulations. I was already in the cafe near Rialto-Bridge in 2002. I almost got a heart-attack when they brought the bill for our two cafe.

(prices there: Austrian x 2 ...minimum) ...but 12 Euro for a beer ... perhaps they dont want drunken tourists :-) The pictures are awesome-like always ... maybe i´ll visit venice too.

Venice seems to be an expensive place. EUR 50,-- for a trip with a boat without motor is a bad joke. :-) And EUR 12,-- for a little fine nice beer is really a cheek! :-( Thanks a lot for the nice pictures! Cheers! Grüny Whew!!
