• Day 25 - Bari to Naples

    September 9 in Italy

    Woke this morning to another cracking day. Had a great catch up sleep - so feeling like myself again - any better and I’d be dangerous! I’m now taking in the sites of Bari CBD. It’s a lively place - has narrow streets etc similar - but not the same as the old town. Visited the best camera shop to see if they could look at the GoPro - but it was beyond their capabilities. Damn!
    Went to the local BAART Gallery - it was more of a small retail shop than a gallery - nothing much that got me excited.
    Having a coffee break - cafes are great - so many sweet treats and pastries - yum. And quite reasonably priced.
    I’m now on my first train trip (inter city) of my Odyssey - so ticking off another milestone. It’s really comfy and quite fast - peaks out at 159kph - so not bad.
    So far the countryside is quite flat - lots of fruit and vegetables and grapes and wind turbines everywhere.
    There’s actually a few clouds about - so perhaps a change in weather for me???
    Update on train trip. The country side is now more rolling hills a few tunnels. What is great to see is all the major infrastructure projects being undertaken. Road tunnels, water reticulation pipelines, new rail tracks. Heaps being done - that I can see adjacent the train line. It looks very prosperous and modern infrastructure. But I am in Italy after all. Home of the best motorcycle and sports cars manufacturers in the world.
