Thursday 6 October
We spent the day in Bari. What I thought would be a dirty port town full off nerdiwells, was unfounded. It was a nice port town wih a history dating back many centuries. It is the home of St Nicholas' relic, which the Croatians stole from Turkey, and is a pilgrimage site. We visited a museum and the relic at a church. Eventually my luggage arrived at around 630 and we made our way to the wharf to catch the ferry. A big line of people and a huge group of mainly women making a pilgramage to another scared place. I forget the name. They were having a great time laughing like school kids. We then boarded the ferry for the overnight trip to Dubrovnik.
