Travel Day - Sorrento to Bari, October 20, 2012

Today found us once more on the road, this time in a little Ford Fiesta, as we drove from the western end of southern Italy (Sorrento) to the eastern shore (Bari). Along the way we stopped at the small seaside town of Trani to visit their picturesque cathedral and castle. It was amazing how white the stone walls of both the church and castle were, as you can see from the pictures below.

We got to Bari @ 4:00 PM, dropped off the car at the airport and caught the shuttle into town. After checking into the hotel, we rested for a bit and then headed out for a walk up to the old town section of Bari. Along the way, we joined what must have been 90% of Bari's population in the evening passegiata, where everyone goes to see and be seen. We also caught some nighttime glimpses of Bari's version of the ever-popular medieval castle.
