Day 10: Bari to Πάτρα (Patras)

Today was our last day in Italy. We did some laundry, visited the local castle, deposited our trusty Fiat in Bari, and boarded a ferry for Patras, Greece. It's a 16-hour trip, but there is WiFi on board, so I can update the blog. We've never been to Greece and even the written language is difficult, but we're up for the challenge. I learned the Greek alphabet in high school, but that was a long time ago. We've rented a car in Patras and will be driving to Athens tomorrow.
