Ciao, Bari

Our short stay in Bari has drawn to a close as our bags are packed and ready for our next stop, Lecce.

With one glaring exception, the food has been outstanding here, offering countless vegan and vegetarian options as well as some wonderful gluten free choices for Brenda.

People have been very helpful and made efforts to communicate with us in English or shown immense patience with deciphering our limited Italian.

The weather has felt cooler than we expected, but was nice for my early morning run.

The narrow, winding streets of the old town are great fun to explore and they hold hidden treasures around every bend. It would have been nice to have had a little more time (and better weather) to see more of it, but we can leave that for a other day.

Our time here has been most enjoyable and we would definitely like to make a longer stay sometime in the future, if only to come back for more of Tana's pizza!Read more
