Sorry St. Nick
Did you know that St. Nick was buried in Bari, Italy? Or so the story goes. And his corpse oozes oil that the basilica sells. That would have been something to see and share. We did see St. Nicola's Basilica from afar, from the ship that is. Due to our late departure, we only docked for provisions, very brief and no exploring.

Took the train to Napoli via Casserta. Our first experience ...
Wonderful Family afternoon
... disorientated entering Molfetta and cycling slowly along a road whose name I hadn't seen when I heard shouts of "Bruce!" and looked up to see Beatrice on her balcony. I had such a warm welcome into the flat where her Mother lives, but was currently occupied by various other members of the family as well, and I was just getting my head around who-was-who when more arrived.
