We slept so well our first night on the boat. We hardly felt the boat rock and we woke up to the sound of the waves since we slept with the balcony door open. It was great! Connor even woke up in a really good mood. We got dressed and then went to eat breakfast at the buffet. They had just about every breakfast food you could imagine. After breakfast, Aaron and Connor went swimming. We weren't planning on swimming in the morning, but since we weren't scheduled to arrive in Bari until noon, Aaron thought it would be fun. Since I was already dressed for the day, I took pictures and relaxed.
He is not scared of anything!
So relaxing! Can I go back now?
After swimming for awhile, we went back to the room so the boys could get ready. Connor liked sitting on the balcony watching the water and imaginary sharks.
Even though we ate a big breakfast, we had a small lunch before we arrived in Bari. You can't pass up all that food and need to fill up when you can! The boat docked while we were eating our lunch. As soon as we finished, we went to the room and grabbed our things for our first day off the boat.
Bari, Italy
That's our boat!
Connor fell asleep about 15 minutes after we started exploring.
Statue of Saint Nicholas. Bari is known as the city of Saint Nicholas {San Nicola}.
Basilica of Saint Nicholas.
We did a little shopping.
We stopped for a drink while Connor napped.
New Town of Bari.
I was craving gelato, so we stopped for some.
There were 3X this amount to choose from.
Connor woke up just in time to steal Aaron's cone.
He kept asking for a "baby cone."
Castello Svevo
We only explored for about 2 1/2 hours before we were ready to go back to the boat. On our way back, we saw a ferry that had been badly damaged from a fire and cars were still left in it. Aaron did some research and we found out it happened back in December 2014. You can read more about it here and here.
So sad.
We went back to the room and all showered for dinner. This time we had dinner at the buffet restaurant. The food selection was much smaller than the buffet lunch, but it was still good.

He was all about daddy on this trip, so I took advantage of the times he wanted mommy.
After dinner, we walked around and Connor picked the spots where we would listen to music. He was OBSESSED!
We attempted a show in the theater room, but it was an opera show and that isn't our cup of tea. We sneaked out and then walked around a little more before settling in our room.
Busted! We brought dessert back to our room and ate in our jammies before bed.
