Bari -Day 2 - Bari waterfront and Old town.

 A fairly early start saw us strolling through the quiet streets of Bari towards the sea front, the weather was clear with bright sunshine.

Our first stop was the local fisherman's quay where they were selling shellfish and whole fish right off the boats. 


Leaving the harbour we saw a group of Paramedics and nurses performing a demonstration of life saving exercises to the beat of a Bee Gees song. We also visited a small street market.


We then made our way over to the Old town of Bari. This is a warren of narrow streets, churches and picturesque old buildings.




We visited  Basilica San Nicola where a service was being performed. The next stop off was for coffee and cake before continuing exploring some more of the Old town. 


We the walked through the modern part of the city towards the train station where we bought tickets for tomorrow's  trip. We then stopped off for a beer and something to eat in the city centre. 


In the evening  we ate at Al Raffaello restaurant,  the meal was very good and our waitresses,  Daniella was superb.
