Best Western Hotel HR Modugno

... shouldn't have taken the first agent's word for it. Seemed to be ships sailing at all hours - must surely have been one with space on it overnight? Definitely the only way to do this route.However, we get by: but I wouldn't recommend Ventourist line: cheap, for sure; but tacky -very, very tacky!Another night in an anonymous port.<br><br>

... can't relate to these characters, or even trust what they're saying. I suppose that's the point, a character study in alienation and a commentary on the powerlessness that is shared by both females of Japan's elite class and the Chinese illegal immigrants who comprise the underworld that makes their privileged position possible. I guess it's effective as a social criticism of the seedy underbelly behind the ...

... Greece. The ferry was pretty comfortable, beds which i actually fit in, decent food and no over riced beers!! We spent the night on the rear boat deck drinking the night away and amusing ourselves playing 'sniff, tag your it'. Basically a totally random game where you are dared to walk up to some random stranger, get as close to them as you can without them noticing you and then simply sniffing them. Doesn't sound much but with a few beers under your belt ...

After a short amount of time in Pompei we hopped on a train to Bari. We took an overnight ferry to Croatia. We just about missed the boat because our train was late. So we did what you should never do, we accepted a cab ride from a random at the station claiming to be a taxi. Generally it's safe, but I still never think its good to get ...

... down for the night. Some people were sleeping on the deck. There was a pool, which people were using already and a Ala carte restaurant and a Self service one. Dan and I got a drink and claimed a seating area and a few other found us until we had 8 chairs or so. We were almost too afraid to get up in fear of losing them! We went in shifts to have dinner at the self service restaurant. We went around 7.30pm and had tortelli ...

... Italian, it was little surprise to find that this was once part of ancient Magna Graecia; in fact you are more likely to stumble upon Greek temples than you are Roman ruins. Known in Italy as a land of myth and fable, this little region was clearly full of surprises. <br><br>Whenever I think back to the first day in Basilicata, images of mountains, beautiful scenery and sunny skies fill my thoughts - a lovely start to the holiday!

... are only a small number of sleeping cabins that have to be booked way in advance and cost a lot of money. So like a lot of other people our ticket was "deck space". Meaning we could find a piece of floor somewhere and sleep. It turned out to be a pretty uncomfortable nights rest tossing and turning with about 200 other people all crammed into every nook and cranny of the boat.<br>

My friends and I stayed at this bed and breakfast in Mola just south of Bari. It was the best yet. Large old English style accomodations, we stayed in an apartment with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, large veranda overlooking the main street. It even had a full kitchen. The breakfast was the best we have experienced. It is worth the trip just for the accomodations. A nice beach area with breath taking views is just 10 minutes south in Polignano. <br><br>A must see for those off the tourist path. <br>

This is where Pietro, an old Italian guy, jumped into Bruce and navigated us to the trulli. He saved us from a traffic jam in the narrow streets of Puglia.<br><br>Pete was also called Pietro while in Italy. :-)<br><br>Trullo comes from the Greek word, "tholos" &#8211; meaning &#8220;dome&#8221;. See the pictures of the wee houses.<br><br>We found the Belvedere pub here too - also the name of our local in Aus &#8211; meaning &#8220;beautiful view&#8221;. It was beautiful.

... us a few minutes later, and she had the same problem. We decided to go back to the office I had found and try it one more time. It was still closed, so we decided to go back to the train station and try to find a hotel for the night. The tourist office was closing just as we got to it, and the woman in the booth recommended a hotel right down the street for 50&euro; a night (90&euro; for a double). The Japanese girl, Eriko, told us that she had stayed at ...
