It's all Greek to me

After almost 20 hours on the ferry, we finally arrived in Patras, Greece. The ferry ride was overnight and luckily it was pretty empty so we were able to lay down on the seats and get some rest, sort of :-) I used my towel as a blanket. The bathroom was absolutely disgusting, but other than that it was good. We are excited to be in Greece. We ate lunch at TGIFriday's and it was so great to have some good American food! We were excited about it. The menu was in Greek mostly, with some words written in English randomly. But the food was great. Now we are in Olympia for 2 nights. Tomorrow we will see the archaeological sites. Olmpia is really small. It seems to be a pretty happenin place though. Our hotel is good and we are happy to have our own room and bathroom (Nikki didn't find a hostel for here or Corinth online so we have cheap hotels). Our last day in Italy was spent at Amalfi. We did some shopping and laid on the beach for a little while. Amalfi was nice, but Positano was definitely my favorite town. That afternoon we were looking for a restaurant at about 3:15 because in Italy most restaurants close between 4 and 7...but apparently in Amalfi they all close at 3. Unlucky. We finally found THE ONE restaurant that was open and I had Ricci pasta! I was so excited. Then the waiter thought we were beautiful girls so he gave us free limoncello. Limoncello is the alcohol of the region that is made there. It's basically pure alcohol with some lemon flavour. It was very strong, but we choked it down. I got a great pic of Nikki's "limoncello face." Oh, and we almost didn't make our ferry. We left at 7:45 a.m. from our hostel in order to make a 9:30 train from Naples to Brindisi. That train was late and then our connecting train was like an hour and a half after we arrived in the other town...so by the time we got to Brindisi it was 6 p.m. and the ferry was to leave at 7. We barely made it out to the dock at about 6:30 only to find out that the reservation she had made wasn't in their system...so we ended up just paying cash and literally getting on the boat at 7. Close call. Speaking of...we had a similar experience when we went to Capri Sunday and we were actually running to the boat and were the last ones on. It's great fun!
