Dubrobnik --> Trani
After nine hours on the boat from Dubrovnik we arrived in Bari, on the heel of the boot of Italy. Yvonne had done her homework, as usual, and we had the phone numbers of a couple of B&B's about an hour north. It was 9pm so we quickly jumped on the highway, eager to find a place to stay.Italy is famous for dodgy drivers and my introduction to the motorways showed me why. Tail-gating, generally speeding, overtaking on blind corners, going from 150kms to 40kms in 2 seconds whilst overtaking and exiting a freeway ramp ... wow!!
Whilst in transit to Trani we made contact with 'Marco' and got ourselves a nice cheap room in a B&B. The directions we had were pretty crap, so Marco was very nice and met us at a central place in town. This turned out to be a very good thing, because we would never have realised that the B&B was actually inside an apartment block ... weird, but nice.Our stay in Trani was quite brief and although Yvonne kept telling me that this was where all the transvestites came from, what I'll actually remember Trani for was the three litres of wine we bought at a little fruit shop for only 2 Euro. So cheap ... and it was actually ok too.
