Baku ferry

The Transit Visa for Turkmenistan takes three weeks, so I decided take the ferry to Aktau instead of Turkmenbashi. I had to get a second Visa for Kazakhstan and also change my Visa for Uzbekistan, as I was late in my initial planning.
I managed to arrange this in three days, but then the waiting began.
As there is no schedule for the ferry, I had to check every day if there is one. You can call, but they do not always answer the phone, so I ended up going there almost every day, a quite frustrating procedure. "No ship today, come back tomorrow."
After a few days they told me there is one the following day in the evening, I should come in the morning to buy my ticket. We made a little farewell party in the evening and when I showed up the next morning, the ferry was about to leave - and I didn't have my luggage with me.
The next one left three days later, but for some reason they didn't want to take as a passenger without vehicle.

that's where you can buy the tickets for the ferry.
the service is as good as the place looks.
