Costa Fascinosa
okay I lied.. the Commentary will not be coming for a few days because the internet on the cruise is insanely expensive so we are doing our connecting to the outside world in cafes on shore. Today we docked in Bari and so far the city does not measure up to Venice but I don't blame it. Don't know if any city will ever compare! Will just post photos for the time being and continue writing sans internet and will upload the entries when I ...

They date back to the 13th century, but are still in use today. In the village of Alberobello, there are about 1500 Trulli. We walked ...
