Surprisingly, sleeping in a abandoned cinema on the ferry constituted our best night's sleep to that point. Way better than the back of the Landrovers or in a trucker's layby. Way better.
Despite a lack of pool (advertised), showers, beds, bureau de change and crippling prices for anything more than a coffee the ferry was splendid.
After 24 hrs on a ferry, a grateful first shower in a Romanian truck drivers cabin and a ransom in raw squid we finally had Africa in sight.
