Puglia – first stop Bari
Thursday, October 30th, 2014
After our stay in Guilianova we took the train to Bari. We decided to spend the night in a hotel not far from the train station rather than make the trek with a large (and heavy) suitcase to the airport to pick up the rental car. This turned out to be a good idea and Bari turned out to be a really nice place to be. Once you get used to the relative chaos compared to Bologna, you can find that it has a fascinating old town, good food and good shopping, especially for clothes. We went to the old town for a meal and walked around the first night and then I went to the airport the next day at around noon and picked up the car. Photos of old Bari below.
Somewhere in Vecchia Bari
In Piazza Mercantile (I think)
Lights at a porta of the old city – nice landmark for returning to the restaurant
Just another church
Church interior – always interesting and always different
Saint?
Same church
Typical little windy street in the old part of town

You’re getting lovely night photos. Do you have tips?

Hi Nina. My tip is a compact camera that has a large sensor. I have a Cannon Powershot S95 although there may be an updated version by now. I read a review of it 3 or 4 years ago in the New York Times and promptly bought one. It is great for shots without a flash (which is useless anyway for interiors of rooms, etc).
