Ancona to Split...via ferry

What an ugly town Ancona is.....though we probably only saw the industrial part of it at the port.  Anyway, checked in & got our tickets at the frrry office & our cabin was away from the others who had adjoining cabins.  They were really excited with theirs...big rooms with a lounge suite, bed & ensuite in the corner.  They came to meet us & saw what we had!!! They were almost convinced we had an upgrade.....we had 3 rooms...bedroom, lounge room with leather lounge & an armchair as well as a flat screen tv (which didnt work), plus the hugest ensuite you have ever seen....along with a huge spa bath in it....the whole thing was tiled in mosaic tiles in shades of blue from the floor to the ceiling.....& absolutely stunk!!!   Smelled like old cabbage to me...but was probably the marine toilet!!!  A few drinks & a ham sandwich later & we were ready for bed.  Slept like a log...we arived in Split at 7,30am...had a coffee & were met by Ivana who took us to our accommodation, which is about a 5 min walk from the centre of everything.  John & i have had a day wandering about by ourselves...in the process of which I managed to trip over & land on my knees then did a belly flop & slid along the ground!!  Not my finest hour. Washing has been done & we are almost ready for a vino & some nibbles.  Have booked our train for Zagreb for 13 June.  Stay safe...more soon..hopefully before we go off on the yacht...

    you and your upgrades!!!!
    i remember Ancona, not the nicest italian town. i flew out of there just before i came home. think it is pretty much just a town for transit with the airport and ferry etc as there wouldn't be any other reason to go through there.
    hope the knee is ok and that there wasn't any other injuries.
    enjoy the time on the boat taking it easy as you go here there and everywhere. Looking forward to hearing about it. stay safe, love you xx

    Did you trip in the drain that runs down the middle of the walkway in the old town? Mark did... about 4 times! NOT easy to see!

    and what the heck is with the cabin you had on the ferry...??? where were the bunk beds, the tiny bathroom, cramped space with no storage.... i think you were ripped off without that experience.xD
