Found the park and ride on the sat nav, amazing thing! We were told by the the car park attendants when they saw how packed the car was that there were bandits about and we should take anything of value with us. We took what we could and  spent a lovely morning in the old part of Bari walking through a maze of narrow streets, the baroque archbishops palace is beautiful and the Basilica di San Nicola has a beautiful gilt and painted ceiling.






Arrived at the ferry port around 2:00pm, far too early, went to the cafe for a bite and Annie's thick chocolate- more like hot chocolate mousse - had to be eaten with a spoon - impossible to drink. That lasted all of half an hour, sat in the car for another two hours and then drove on, with still two hours to go until the ferry departed for Greece at 8:00pm.


Ferry arrived in Igoumenista at 6.30am local time - 89 miles to drive to Nidri. Discovered that the apartment Dave had found last November and we had booked online back in Barham was very pleasant and comfortable.

Great views of mountains and sea, but still bloomin' cold!
