Bari - Italy

Quiet morning on the ship as our excursion wasn't until after lunch.
Bari, while lovely, is shadowed by the cities in Croatia. Tour was slow and long and left little of our own time before we had to be on the bus.
Italian immigration at the ports is interesting, to say the least. They do things their way and in their own time. With 3 ships in port and then some sort of gas leak, it took forever to get through them and then to get to the ship.
Maybe the crew were aware of the mood as they had an honour guard lining the path dancing to welcoming music. Lifted the mood a little, as did the shower and cold beer before dinner.
We had dinner last night at The Chef's Table, which was interesting. Our companions were 2 widowed Texas ladies and their southern drawl. They had no idea where NZ is anything about us. Proudly Trump supporters, which was no real surprise from those in Texas I guess.
Love the fact that the local constabulary drive Alfa Romeo cars.Les mer
