Journey to the Meteora and beyond in 2023
In the morning of the last – I think it was the hottest day – I popped into the Archaeological Museum of Santa Scolastica.
In the morning I looked to see if there was anything interesting in Bari beyond the train station, and there wasn’t. So I bought a train ticket to Monopoli, which is only 32 minutes away.
After the afternoon nap, I visited the old town region, which is looks and feels like Rabat in Malta.
I ran a quick 9-km distance on the coast of Bari, where I caught the sunset.
I woke up at eight, exhausted, and headed into town.
There are no signs, signals, stations or waiting rooms in the part of the port closer to the city. I walked past open ferries to the opposite end of the harbour, where I asked two people on duty about the location of the station.
I couldn’t sleep properly, loud tourists arrived at 1am, and instead of wallowing in my own anger, I went for a run.
