Ferry

I spend little time in any one country these days.

Today I opted for a ferry journey rather than the usual flight. It was quite inexpensive yet, of course, the trip was over twice the length it would have been otherwise.

It was certainly a unique trip. I was surrounded by obvious smugglers, adventurous students and travel-hardened business people. We were bound together by our mutual seclusion and exhaustion.

In some ways it showed how far distances really are and how used to extremely fast flight we have become. I experienced every minute of this journey in a more tangible manner than usual.

That does not mean that I would like to repeat the experience however!
