We rounded last night off with a glass of wine and a pizza delivered to our door. It was ordered in a mixture of German French and Italian and was fantastic. We woke up refreshed and decided to double check our papers to find the carnet had the wrong chassis number on it! Paul at the RAC, unphased as usual simply sent a new one out to Tunis for us to collect on arrival. We set off from our Sosta for the port much relieved and promptly ended up missing our turning and heading back to Switzerland! Quite why the co pilot thought that our Sat Nav was wrong along with all the road signs remains unclear but ho hum, a 25 km detour later and we arrive at Hell on earth - Genoa port. Few signs, plenty of trucks, lots of irate Italians hooting their horns and a bemused Englishman doing a 3 point turn in the middle of it all! The check in was chaotic, it was like Primark in the sales! There was room for 200 cars but the ferry takes 1100! People and bags lay everywhere and the cars were so loaded down the tyres were almost invisible. We got our papers sorted and eventually boarded as almost the last vehicle. Our luxury suite turned out to be a double bedded cabin and hardly what you'd call luxury or suite, but never mind, back in Taffy tomorrow and that is luxury.
