Mooning around the Mediterranean

We soon came to the first balcony.

 

The Red Bull high diving competition takes place from the oof of the last house in the last picture.

The weather now was terrible. Heavy rain, cold and a strong wind.

 

Our guide suggested we go back to the main square and those that wanted to stayed in a cafe and she would lead the others on a walk. The going was so slow I decided to go on my own. I did miss Mr. Volare's statue but saw a lot more of the old city.

 

I went into the church.

A service was taking place. The singing was very good.

 

[drron29]

Back into the town.

The last of Polignano.

 

So back on the shuttle and then the bus back to Bari. Naturally the rain now stopped.

 

Many of the vineyardsare under cover here.

 

 

[drron29]

Old shelters for the shepherds.

 

A lot of other crops under cover as well because hail is common in summer.

 

[drron29]

 

A lot of the Government buildings built in the Mussolini era.

Back aboard the Moon to dry out and have a Kaiseki lunch.

Flowers refreshed.

La Terraza for dinner tonight. Their menu really only has minor changes throughout the cruise. As always an antipasti platter served first.

 

Italian wines are always offered and this was the red for the night.

 

Rojaan started with the carpaccio and I had their vegetable soup. Always a favourite.

 

For mains Rojaan had the pappardelle with duck ragu. and I had the chicken parmigano.

 

The chicken dish was no different from that served in most pubs in Australia.

For desserts Rojaan had coconut ice cream. I had a plate of Gorgonzola. Both of those had to be sourced downstairs but that was no proble. I really love Italian gorgonzola.

Night lights of Bari.

Thursday morning and we are steaming in to Kotor.

 

 

The Wind surf follows us in.

An MSC ship already at anchor.

 

[drron29]

 

We had been here 6 months ago so decided togo ashore and just wander the old town. A good decision as we found many parts we hadn't been to before. First a tiny Noble Caledonia ship had pinched our place at the pier so it wasatender to shore.

Leaving the old town.

 

[drron29]

 

The ruins of a Monastery.

 

Went into a supermarket.

 

[drron29]

Always like to wander a local supermarket. Fruit, veggies and meat looked pretty good.

 

Cheap alcohol.

 

This BBQ restaurant was recommended to us.
