Number 28: A ferry across the Adriatic Sea, Split to Ancoma

I am reading Andrea Camilleri, the Sicilian author of the Montalbano crime novel series, to get into the mood for the next leg of our trip - Sicily.
The stories are fine, but I pay attention to the food writing, this man knows and loves his Sicilian cuisine. Anticipation and thanks Di for pointing me to this quirky set of books.

Number 28:
A ferry across the Adriatic Sea, Split to Ancona

A slow cruise across the Adriatic Sea.

I resisted the obvious, to take a quick flight across the Adriatic Sea. Instead it was a relaxed 10 hour ferry crossing with views of the Dalmation Islands and then a gentle sea and not much else. 
This was certainly our longest ferry crossing to date and we took an upsell on a sea view cabin, a nap, a read and dreaming of Sicilian food. I like indeed; and in keeping with doing things differently this year we are using trains over the next two days. Ancona - Bologna - Rome - Catania, Sicily.
