pics of Bari, the ferry and Dubrovnik, so far

The restaurant we ate lunch at everyday, invited me to a go away dinner.  This was the fish we had.  It looks scary but was outstanding.

Fresh calamari, it wasn't even chewy, it was so good.

The train ride to Bari


One of the churches lit up at night

The fisherman's bay in Bari.

From across the bay.

The old castle in the heart of town.

In the St. Nich Museum.  The names of things were only in Italian.

A staff of St. Nich's

One of the several paintings of him.

They love the Virgin Mary in Italy

St. Nicholas statue just outside his church

This is where he rests for all time

His actual grave and the priest on watch/prayer duty

The ceiling of the St. Nich's church

More of the outside of the castle


The front of the Palace where the government works out of now

Inside the castle walls

Not really Mary's body, but it looks real right

When it s a 100 out, get a Big Gelato 

Getting onto the ferry while cars pulled in next to us

My room.  The top bunk actually flipped up and the bottom did also to make a couch.  Glad I was alone

Pulling out of Bari.

The Moon lighting us all up.

Sunrise over the Croatian coast

Hard to beat that view.

There were several ships all heading to the same place as us.  It was funny to see us all together is such a small distance.

The actual town of Dubrovnik.

Inside the bay as we docked

A cool looking suspension bridge they have in town

My view from the bay where I spent my afternoon swimming and sunning

"American" hot dog and Croatian beer.  What a lunch.
