Barletta Nicotel Bari

... and they paid up to the tune of 30 Euro ($60). <br><br>The rest of the trip was pretty un eventful, oh but we did manage to hit another jackpot on the boat. You may recall we made a purchase of some 16 cases of beer, which we are having big issues finding ice to cool down, well while at the bar last night we may have noticed a motherload of an ice stash. So before disembarking, we made sure we kindly asked the bar staff if they could give us some ice. Now we ...

... dress my salad and my cleanish clothes, grate some parmesan onto my pasta. It was the most delicious and satisfying meal I've had in a long time. Sitting on the Autostrada for so many miles I have a chance to observe the Italians performing their very best motorway driving techniques, they have perfected the art of tailgating, so much so that you see a flash of light that looks like lightning, there are no taillights visible in the rearview as the car ...

... the lump of the back of the leg of the boot). Here, 70% of Italy´s olive oil is produced, and we drove through miles and miles of olive groves laid out before us until we hit the coast of the peninsula. A beautiful mountain road above the sea with small villages clinging precariously to the side of the cliffs, and then diving down to little bays, one of which we parked up on, and had ...

... Luckily this was just our base to explore the area. We really enjoyed Trani which was the closest seaside town. It has some pretty impressive buildings by the ocean including a large castle and cathedral. We watched the fishing boats come into port and unload their wares onto small carts. The seafood was on sale until the carts were wheeled off to a warehouse. The variety was really ...

... tourist seems to escape most travel guides, which advise just that. Mayu wasn't too keen about us spending any significant time here, but I tried to reassure her that - according to most sources - it's gotten better in recent years. In any case, surely a stroll around town beats spending hours in the train station! Actually, it's not that bad of a place. Sure, the main thoroughfares are overflowing with belching cars, buses and ...

... there was a massive crane blocking the view. And Danny, there was no green flash! Our ferry travelled overnight to Igoumenitsa, Greece. Our room was larger than I expected (bathroom and four beds bunkbed style). Met a Canadian couple from Kamloops who had just spend the last three weeks on a Carnival Cruise and absolutely loved it. Talked to them until it was time for bed.

... wonderfully. This poem is titled.... "A Park in Bari is Never Silent, Yet Always Peaceful" Two canines are gathering in the park At the foot of the fortress, more Moorish than Venetian Beneath the arid, Italian sun. They are patient. I can see them clearly, And I notice them pant and retreat into the shade One after the other. The dirty bench provides them shelter With ...

... b/c I figured I'd meet some other travellers and also be able to lie down in case of a rocky ride like the one from Naples to Palermo. However it was surprisingly a smooth ride. And I had the dorms to myself. Not a single other person bothered with it. NICE. The ferry itself was pretty cool, and gave the Naples-Palermo one a run for it's money. It had an escalator just to get in (swank!) and a silly little disco floor, a 'casino' area, 2 ...

This town wasn't in any of my travel guides but it was a great place. Cheap and delicious food, very helpful travel agents, and an old quarter to die for. There were lots of old churches, some of which were turned into apartment buildings. This town gave me a real taste of Italy...and on my last day too! Check out the sunset and the alleys!

... del ferry una pasada, me comi una sopa de verduras, unos tagliatelli de esos, una ensala y un mix de postres por 69 Kunas (Menos de 10 euros!!) y estaba todo muy bueno, especialmente la sopa de verduras. El amanecer pasando entre las islas croatas tambien fue una pasada. Nada mas... pondre otra entrada para dubrovnic maniana. Un saludo.
