While we're waiting for the Black Sea Ferry...

We're hanging around at the port and just had a disconcerting conversation with a German couple who also have a ticket for the ferry across the Black Sea to Batumi, Georgia. They are highly concerned about getting on the ferry - because apparently, there is no guarantee. And it has happened to previous travelers, that there are more trucks waiting than space on the ship. In which case, someone doesn't get loaded up! UGH. That would be a really horrible curve ball. Loading has started, so fingers crossed that it will include us. But I'm getting ahead of myself...let's back up and let Achim tell you the whole story (and the information to help if you decide to take the Black Sea Ferry! (see: From Bulgaria to Georgia, by sea!)
