@ Richard, Ted,
You are perfectly right: If I have the choice I will certainly opt for the ferry, being one of the last adventures on the Eastern route.
The problem: One did not have the choice for much of 2012, with the ferry - and, more importantly, the barge - running so erraticly, sometimes not at all for weeks, sometimes with motorists being forced to rent an "exclusive" barge for a horrendous fee.
Now let's cross fingers that the ferry and barge will run "normally" and regularly again in the coming months.
Greetings,
Achim
