Bari, Day 44, 46 & 47

After Salerno I continued south to the city of Bari. This was a nice city that was busy and not touristy. I enjoyed walking around and feel like I was in a living Italian city.


The window in my hostel room, it has an exterior metal shade that is operated by a crank,

The city of Bari,

 

 

The drink list at this restaurant was somewhat entertaining,

A Happy Days musical,

Walking along the shore,

Another nice sunset,

 The Vecchia area of Bari,

 There were many small shrines like this one set up all over the Vecchia,

The Basilica di San Nicola,

Paestum, Day 42

I took a day trip from Salerno to see the ruins at Paestum. Even after seeing Pompei and Herculaneum these ruins were still impressive. There was a large area of ruins including 3 large and fairly complete temples,

The Temple to Athena,

Temple to Poseidon,

   

 

Temple to Hera,

The rest of the ruins,

  

 

Salerno, Day 41 & 43

From Positano I traveled over to Salerno, it is a nice town on the eastern end of the Amalfi Coast. The town was full of nice little back streets that I love to wander,

Here is the city Cathedral,

The crypt was really impressive,

Note that the changes in color in the walls in the 2 pictures above is actually a different color of marble,

This is the main shopping street in Salerno,

 I was fortunate to see some lovely sunsets here,

 

 

 
They already had up there impressive display of Christmas lights all over town, 

 

 

 

This is a view of the castle up in the hills behind the town,

 Here are some views from along the water,

 

 

  

These last pictures are from up on the castle,
