Sicily Travel: Catch that Boat!

Due to some over confidence on my part, we cut it a bit close getting to our ferry for Genoa. We made it just in time, and will be the first off the ferry. There's only 2 trucks between us and the door. Phew! There were some panicky moments when we missed some turns in Palermo thanks to our sat nav which is 15 meters off, then when we arrived and I presented my tickets; which were our old tickets from Genoa to Palermo from April. Luckily with a bit of hand talking and the kindness of strangers I was able to convince the ticket agent that we had booked and paid for tickets for tonight's ferry from Palermo to Genoa. We had 12 minutes to spare before the 2 hour before departure cut off. Or so we thought. Apparently, since they're all loaded they are leaving 2 hours early. Just in time to say good-bye Sicily.
