... his structure, so I figure I'm obligated to give Hornby the hat tip.<br><br>Book reviews rest on an implicit assumption that the text is the sole determinant of whether you'll like a book as though you're going to read the text in a hermetically sealed vault. Of course, this never happens in real life - or more precisely, real life keeps happening to you while you're trying to read. Whether you will like a ...

I took the train down from Brindisi to Bari, arriving about 10.30 and hoping to rent a car for the day so I could explore the surrounding countryside. However, I discovered that the lowest price I could get for the day was &euro;95 (somewhat more than the &euro;30/40 per day in Greece) so spent the day around Bari. 

... the stamp had not much to offer. Listen, we don't like to be negative about places but this place was DEAD! The locals being on their month long vacation caused MANY places to be CLOSED! Seriously, closed...and those things that were open had to have a break in the day between 1 pm and 5 pm. We wandered for a good hour looking for a place to have lunch! What craziness. Yes, we had "italian pizza", but we will hold our judgement for when we go back to Italy ...

Ciao, We are staying in a 2-bedroom house in the countryside, complete with towering pine trees, irises in bloom for Spring, an olive grove....and a dog! A lovely stray German Shepherd decided to adopt us mid-way during our stay. We thought it would be best to ignore it and hoped it would find people who could look after it. After a day of him sitiing in the rain, looking at us beseechingly ...

... Masses of pasta followed, then a whole pan-friend monkfish. All wonderful food, but mostly non-familiar to our kids, and in total enough to have fed five big guys after a long day of biking, rather than two adults and three semi-picky and tired kids after a long day of inactivity on the train. The final bill with tip was well over 200 euros. Looks like sandwiches and pizza for the next few days. (Jack)

... 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.

... asiaan eli oksentamiseen. Siskon kanssa nauroimme, et mita ihmiset sit tekevat, jos on jo filmirulla pussissa ja tulee paha olo.. =P hopero juttu, mut me nyt vain nauretaan mille tahansa jos ollaan tarpeeksi vasyneita. Kolmen tunnin paasta sitten saavuimme Bariin, herttaiseen satamakaupunkiin Italiassa. Elamani nopeimman laukkujen vastaanoton (HETI astuttuamme laukkuhihnalle edessamme rullasivat meidan laukkumme, jahuu) jalkeen korottelimme bussilla ...

... to be a nice rounnd 98 euros for the both of them. THAT SUCKS. Turned out later I met another girl who was on the same train, had a railpass, scored a seat a couple cars from us and was never asked for a fare or to move. WHAT. whatever. The second train was of course far better as we I had a seat thank God. Get me off trains!!! We pull into Bari, which any other day was pretty and looked worth exploring a good deal, but I wasn't taking any ...

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!
