Day 6

Today we arrived at Bari, Italy which is way down the heel of the boot.

We arrived at 7:0am and departed at 2:00pm.

We got off as soon as were able and took the port shuttle to just outside the Old City of Bari.

Ed took a wrong turn, we got lost for a bit and finally made it to where we were going to take  Rickshaw tour of the Old City for 1 /2 hour, beginning at 10:00am.

It was a delightful tour and we had fun.

One of the highlights was visiting this very large church where some relics for St. Nicholas are in a tomb in the lower level and it is a very important place.  This Church holds wedding ceremonies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  It is the place to be seen for your wedding in all of Bari.  While we were there a wedding was about to begin with also a lot of tourists going in and out of the church.  They simply blocked off a number of rows up close to the Alter and had their ceremony, one after another all day, all evening, and all week!!

The we had time to go to a restaurant that our friends from New York, Jeff and Vera Wurst had recommended and had a fantastic Lasagna.

The last bus back to the ship left at 1:00pm so we were there at 12:30pm and got right on a bus before the crowds formed.

Back to the ship we had drinks and snacks in the Top Sail Lounge, relaxed for awhile and then went back to the cabin to get ready for the evening events.

1.      The show - was not good as it was a ventriloquist and we were too  far away to see his mouth, plus it was in Italian!

2. So we left to go to dinner and had another wonderful dinner.

3.      The Casino was next as as usual, we had an enjoyable time.

Tomorrow, we arrive in Trieste, Italy at 9:00am and have until 7:00pm there.

Trieste is all the way north and it is a couple of hours from Venice, which no longer allows ships our size and bigger to port there.
