Termoli, Italy. My “included” Italian breakfast consist of one cup of coffee and one croissant. Never mind! I put into my bag sandwiches and bottle of water and went to the port. In front of the ticket office some 30 people was waiting. Why they don’t sell tickets? After 10 minutes they announced that today’s sailings to Tremiti Islands are cancelled due to the bad weather….
I always repeat: even the experienced traveller need also a bit of luck!
Next time, maybe..
I decided to visit instead the coastal town of Vasto – some 37 kms away to the north (Tremiti are 37 kms to the east -in the Adriatic).
Train ticket cost me 3 euro each way. Vasto is one of the hilltop cities with medieval history. Stazione ic on the sea level (there are wide, sandy beaches) and some 3 kms away, so I was walking first to the bottom of the 150-m hill and then climbed to the old city for the nice views of the Adriatic. There are churches, the castle and a nice promenade – a kind of the big balcony overlooking the beaches. They have also the monument of the mermaid, staying on the rock rising from the shallow water….
