Day 11 - Bari Italy

Day 11 - July 3rd in Bari Italy. Bari was probably the least enjoyable sight seeing location as Bari itself is an industrial port. We took another bus ride to a visit a old church with catacombs below it which was interesting. By this time I think that both Roe and I needed a break from the old building and the heat so we really weren't into this tour UNTIL... The last part of the tour was to be to another olive pressing factory, we had already been to at least 3 other ones so far on this cruise so it didn't really excite us until we got a chance to taste the best olive oil of our life. We found out that they ship to the US and our Amerian Express bill took a big jump!
