We got up this morning and drove to Bari to our last hotel and night in Italy. I had read about a fabulous church in
Bari called The Basilica di San Nicholas. The church was consecrated in 1197 and it holds wide religious significance throughout Europe and the Christian World. The Basilica contains the bones and relics of St. Nicholas and is an important pilgrimage destination for Roman Catholics and Orthodox Christians from Eastern Europe.
Then we found our way to our hotel and checked in. After we had another great Italian meal we returned our car to the airport. We are now preparing to leave for home and have to get up at 5:15 a.m. to catch our plane. Ciao Italy.
