Hi Bob! Such kind words, thank you! Not sure they're deserved but hey ho!

Here's the website of a shipping company we had contacted, look under 'linea Euro Med' on the left. There was a cargo going from Limassol to Ashdod, quite expensive I recall but we agreed, only to be later told that the captain had changed his mind.... And that was that.
I think there are far more crossings available in the summer months (until end of Oct.).
In the end as you prob. know we flew from Larnaca to Tel-Aviv. If you did take that option, be careful not to book the cheapest ticket, that DOESN'T include luggage (only hand luggage). Read the small print carefully.
Exciting, isn't it, though?
Settling back into normal life...Hmmm... I am spending an awful lot of time on this forum!!! Lol
YOU have inspired me to consider walking the rest of the Francigena, maybe, from Besançon to Rome. Then there's also the Camino de la Plata as a possibility, or the one from Alicante....
