Bari, Italy

A not so great view of Bari from the boat



There were some moderately interesting excursions from the port of Bari- Alberobello, Volare's white cliffs, and Matera, but we were still wanting to relax instead of spending all day on expensive excursions that we weren't super enthusiastic about. Caden decided that he wanted to spend the day in the kids club and we decided to spend the morning in town on our own. We walked off the boat and found a mini-bus-train tour of Bari. We thought it would be perfect since we didn't have a stroller for Addison and we could quickly see the highlights of Bari. We saw the Swabian Castle, the Cathedral of Saint Sabino, and the Basilica of Sant Nicholas. Addison was thrilled to be riding on a train that had pictures of Mickey Mouse and Disney princesses on it- we thought it was a strange theme, but whatever.
