Laundry in Bari

We are currently doing much needed laundry in Bari while waiting for our train that leaves later this afternoon to Rome. We just spent 16 hours on a ferry from Athens to Bari. It was a very annoying and uncomfortable ride. The ferry was full of Milan and Liverpool fans, who were mostly middle-aged drunk, stinky, loud, rude men. As fate would have it, we were assigned seats in an enclosed room with these prize fellows, and we were basically the only females. Well, the early part of the ferry ride was okay, as the majority of our cabin mates were succeeding in killing any of their remaining brain cells in the various bars (it was a very large ferry), and so there was temporarily some peace and quiet. However, their money seemed to run out faster than we had anticipated, and we were once again graced with their presence. I wish the ventilation system had been better and that there had been a mandatory spray-down with Febreeze prior to entrance into the room.
Oh well, it is nice to breath in fresh air again! We are really looking forward to Rome and the Vatican tomorrow...Michelangelo, here we come! We are also excited to get some much needed sleep on our 6 hour train ride today!
