The next day was tunneling Switzerland ;) and driving through Italy to Genua.
Again I took my time, stopping for food and gas and random sights along the way. (Sorry to say I have no tunneling pics, was driving!)
It's funny how relieved I was when I was "back in EU", where they take my money!
In Genua the ferry terminals are fairly easy to find, you don't have to brave Italian city traffic (thank god). I remember, when I was a kid and did these kind or tours with my parents, one parent would stay with the car and the other one and I would go and explore the harbour and city around us...
... that's not possible any more. Security has changed. To enter the terminal area you have to show your ticket and id, the car gets marked for which ferry it's going on and you are not exactly gently directed to seperated waiting areas and divided up by length/weight of car. You can't go expore (well, you can try to find a bathroom in the maze of terminal buildings dividing the parking/waiting areas - good luck).
Boarding was at 7 (make SURE you remember how to find your car again!), so I dropped my overnight bag in my cabin and had dinner on deck while we left the harbour. Then sleep a real bed ;)
Arriving in Sardinia the next morning
... no swimming :/
