Day 4--- Bari was the destination for the day and we arrived in port. We disembarked and decided to go it along for this day. Bari had two destinations we were to hit and it was the Saint Nicholas cathedral where Saint Nick was laid to rest and the other was the castle. Bari came in with low expectations but we really enjoyed just walking the streets and enjoyed the castle and cathedrals in Bari. They had two and they were both neat to walk into and see how beautiful they were. The cathedral set up was a main sanctuary adorned with gold trimmings and beautiful wood work all over. Behind the pulpit for lack of a better/right term was a stair case that went below ground and there was another area it looked like to pray and worship. However this area was very plain except for the pictures of Mary and Jesus and the candles that were lit in different areas. The walk was a bit long but we did see most of the island as the castle and the cathedral of Saint Nick was on opposite sides of the island. Overall we enjoyed Bari. Once back on the ship we got ready for dinner and like every night went to eat was AO people where we were served a 5 plus course meal every night. However that night the food for a second straight night was just OK. That night I had to convince Kim to go to the theatre again but we made it by ourselves and we were entertained with a juggler, dancers, singers, and a Fabio like dude that spun to ball around and clicked them on the stage. All of it was very entertaining and we enjoyed it. After that it was off to bed.
