Lost our card in Bari!
Hi, my name’s Josh and my name is Kasha and together we are JKT Travels. Come along and join us as we travel around the world. Don’t forget to like and subscribe. Hi guys. Hi. So, it’s our final day here in Italy. Uh we just packed the apartment up and just about to leave now. Yeah. And uh we’re heading for to Barry um to go have an explore there. Barry is also the city we’re leaving from. The airport’s there. So perfect really finish up and uh be nice and close to airport for the for our late night flight. Uh we’re going to go a bit earlier just so we’re not in much of a rush. We can chill out a little bit. So yeah, come join us in Barry. Um, Franchesco, the owner of the apartment, sent us um a location where for a parking ride. So, it’s a euro to park for the whole day and there’s a bush transfers to and from it. So, that’s pretty good. Yeah. Uh, highly recommend staying here at Terasello Apartments. The stay has been beautiful. Gorgeous location and just so easy. And Franchesco is a really nice uh friendly guy. He speaks like three, four languages at least. He definitely speaks English, German, uh, French. French. So, probably more. Italian. Yeah. And Italian, obviously. So, yeah, really helpful. Um, sends you a load of stuff on WhatsApp. Um, like places to visit, restaurants, recommendations, uh, little things like that. Just makes life that bit nicer if you’re not sure where to go, what to do. Yeah, like we we did our research, but you know, some people don’t do it. So, yeah, not every not everyone comes as as researched up as we are. Um, so yeah, it were nice that it’s uh he does that for you. And just from getting here on the first night with his videos of what to do, where to go to getting into the apartments and whatnot, um, it’s perfect. And anything we’ve needed, uh, just a matter of asking him or dropping him a message and he can sort it for you. So, yeah, really, really helpful. So, Big thumbs up for Franchesco. Yeah. And see you in Barry. Yeah. See you in Barry. As you can see guys, um we are on bus. Um we used the parking which is ride and go. We are about to get out and I started recording. Why not? Um yeah, we we use uh park in park and ride. So the bus is picking you up and you paying €1 for the whole day. Yeah. Super good value. Uh so yeah, and we’ve been on the bus for what 5 minutes. Yeah, five five minutes just pulling us up down the uh the seafront there and then it’s just turned to go up into town. So yeah, very good. Yeah. Yeah. Our uh host can Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Francesco has recommended us this. So yeah, and uh as you heard before, we obviously left our apartment and before we did, we met a nice Polish couple, an American couple as well, actually. Uh so I spoke more obviously with Polish couple and Josh was speaking with some Americans which I I don’t remember the name. I think Connor was Conrad. Con Connor and Sam. Oh, Connor, sorry. Uh so yeah they they might be watching this video so would be nice. Uh and the names of the people I spoke to it was Ella and Victor which was yeah very nice and we we all regretted that um we’re not going to be able to spend some time tonight together. So yeah uh let’s explore. is 25°. It’s more than that thing. Said 31 on the car. Yeah. Well, I I checked it on my phone not long ago and was saying 25. And I personally have to have long sleeves because obviously I’m burnt. So yeah, I just look like this. And we both have trainers because we’re flying tonight. So obviously we are packed and yeah, it’s really gorgeous where we are. You can see my hands. Sorry for that. Yeah. Where we going there? Tatro Margarita big theater right from Yeah. We seen some people. Is that where we’re going? Okay. See you later, guys. So, guys, we’re just uh making our way through the back streets of Bari. Uh it’s a much bigger city, much busier. Uh a lot more traffic, a lot more people. um just more of a modern city in all honesty. Uh but we’re just off to try and find the um the street where they make the fresh pasta. So fingers crossed we’ll find it. And yeah, so far it’s been very easy with a transfer on the bus and then we’re just walking through the streets. But the streets are pretty nice still, you know. Obviously, this one’s got some building work going on. Still quite nice with the architecture as you Oh, and the smell. Just walked past the doorway, then somebody cooking and it smelled amazing. And you’ve got this church up in front of us. That’s one thing to note. We especially this southern part of Italy, no end churches. They are absolutely everywhere. I think in Astonia there was something like 150 which is just crazy. This one here is uh the aricon fraternita. So fraternity of the uh St. Rosario and you get these super massive super um this one super beautiful churches just in the middle of these tiny little streets. It’s quite amazing really. So behind me, you can just about be uh the Norman Suabian Castle or Castle Bar as it’s known also. It was probably built around 1132 by the Norman King Roger II and then 20 years later it would start destroyed by William I of Sicily and then almost 100 years later the then King Frederick II of Sicily rebuilt it. It’s been through various transformations since that point and at some point the Duke of Aragan uh Duke Ferdinand of Spain donated it to the Sorosa family and they passed it on to Bonasfor who at that time was the queen of Poland. After she died, it was given then back to the king of Naples who turned it into a prison and barracks. Uh the castle’s got a moat around all of its sides apart from the northern side which uh sides with the ocean. So obviously no need for a moat when you’ve already got an ocean there. Uh nowadays it’s just used as a an exhibition and a bit of a museum. So yeah, we’ll go get closer, see if we can have a look. Um I’ve read some reviews online that there’s not that much going on inside apart from some videos and whatnot. So yeah, we’ll go check it out. Nice to see big big architecture, big castles like this in town centers. It’s pretty cool to see. So this is the old moat. Just look at the size of them walls. Would not fancy trying to attack castles back in the day. Like can you just imagine them soldiers and whatnot just rocking up to a castle, seeing that and then being told, “Get yourself in, you lads. Crazy. Something pretty cool we’ve just come across, guys. So, um it’s a water vending machine for your own bottle. Uh natural gas. You can pay on card. I don’t know if you can pay on card or it’s a special card, but you can pay with coins. You just put your bottle in there and uh fill it up. nice thing to have and uh good that you don’t have to be constantly buying bottles. Uh bear in mind though that it’s first one we’ve seen so don’t know how many more they have but still cool especially if you know the area. So yeah and this is actually just off of the main strip. The main roads just over there to uh to my right and it’s just outside this uh Zurich bank and I think this is just a block of flats. So yeah, just there outside. Worth to know. So this uh cathedral you see behind us is the cathedral of Sanabino or Barry Cathedral and it’s the main cathe cathedral for the south of Italy. It’s also the seat of the archbishop of Baronto and uh it’s basically one of the main ones for the entire southern area. It’s uh pretty immense. But just so many churches and cathedrals, it’s hard to keep track in this place. But yeah, and from the look of it, you can have a tour of it. They’ve got full on security on it as well. But no, beautiful architecture again. outer outer wall here that we’ve just come through. Uh, we just had some food at Do you remember what it were called? Mure you go or something like this. I don’t know. Oh, it’s like a military roads there now. Oh, yeah. I got some navy ships. I’ll find out in a second. Oh, Lantina de lo. Yeah. So, you weren’t far off and uh you just stopped. They were pretty nice. So, we’re just going to go onto the front beach from here. You’re not saying that everyone is thinking you’re Polish. Oh, yeah. So, this is second time today that I’ve been thought as Polish. So, over breakfast, we were sat next to a couple and they thought we were both Polish. Um Oh, no, no, no. They thought you were Polish. I were English. Yep. And then the same has just happened again in the restaurant. Yeah. So, apparently Casher is not very Polish, but I am. It’s quite funny. And uh let me So, yeah, we’re going to cross road and uh have a look what we can see out of sea. So guys, I hope you can see this and it’s not too uh shaky for you, but this yacht we have in front of us just here that is owned by uh New York hedge fund owner is a multi-billionaire and the yacht itself is worth $80 million. And then I found this out, it’s called the Amord Deida. found it out on uh ship tracking 24 online. And funny enough, these other three don’t come up on tracking. So, I’m assuming these are Italian Navy vessels. They look like it. That one looks particularly stealthy. real life priest there. So, this is the uh Basilica San Nicola. You can see there’s some pilgrims or worshippers coming down here. I’ll uh there’s an actual like full on priest here. Super cool. One of many, many churches and basilas. You got this beautiful looking terrace here. Oh wow, look at the facade. Cannot get run over. Oh dear. I’m dying in my outfit. Too warm. Too warm. So lovely though. Yeah, Cash’s staying out of the sun today, protecting. Uh she got rather crispy at the beach the other day. I’m not doing too bad today. I My chest has calmed down quite a bit, but we’re definitely hunting for the shade. Got a bag of oreti which hopefully will fit in our suitcases. We have to do some squishing. Oh, it’s a dead end here. So, we have to find a different way around. But yeah, this is uh pretty cool. Well, uh, not too sure why they’ve got head covers for Catholic church. I mean, you ought to know. You’re Catholic. Yeah, I’m not aware about anything like that. Maybe they’re just fed to my mom. Maybe they’re quite strict. Bit like nums. Moms wear sort of headdresses and stuff, don’t they? Yeah, but they have like dresses, arms uncovered, and all this jazz. It’s just the hair. I don’t know why hair has anything to do with it. We’ll have to have a look and find out. From what I can hear as well, it sounds like there’s a couple of fighter jets knocking around in sky. Can hear them, just can’t see them. And that’s usually how the enemy finds it as well. They see him, then they hear them, but by then it’s too late. So, right, we’re going to disappear off into the into the little streets. So we said where it rains a bit in this area. Having a good chuck it down to the lit street. Hopefully it’ll be a bit cooler after this. Well, I wanted to say that um everyone says that French dress up the best. Um but I think after being in France and been in Italy, I think Italians look better. They always look smart. No matter what uh weather is like, there was men will still have blazers. um women will still have some nice boots or even high heels, you know, even though they’re walking on the cobble road and stuff like that. So, yeah, I think personally they should give this title to Italians. So, guys, this is um two bits of uh old road. So the lower layer there is with smaller stones and in a in a regular pattern while the one above is in more squared organized pattern. Um and on both of them these channels running through the middle are from wear and tear from horse carts or oxen carts uh transporting goods and people along these roads. Uh they date back from the 17th century. Uh and then two centuries later they were both destroyed um when Barry was being extended um and made into a larger city. So yeah, pretty cool to see it exposed. Shame everyone just throws the ends into it. But yeah, nice to see. Thank you Josh for this information. Well done. And uh you can guarantee this road has less potholes in the UK roads and has lasted a hell of a lot longer. So the UK roads are absolute rubbish. So we’re heading back now to get bus uh back to car park and then uh that’s us done for the day. We’re going to head go fuel the car up. So, as always, rental cars have to be returned full of fuel, and then uh we’re going to go chill in the airport, catch up on some stuff, and wait for the plane. So, yeah, that’s end of us for Italy. Hope you enjoyed it, and it will make maybe make you to come to Italy or try the places we tried. Um, and yeah, hope you enjoy our first recorded holiday cuz it was our first time obviously being in all documented for YouTube. Uh, so yeah, hope we did well. I think you did well with explaining everything. So well done, Josh. Josh told us to um get over the bus stop before. So, we’re walking. We still didn’t get to our car. This is another bus stop here, which is actually hiding. And yeah, he’s still past the boost when we are parked up. So, yeah, Joshy, well done. I told you our next one. Oh dear, it’s bloody warm. Yeah, I wouldn’t have a problem. That is warm. But obviously I’m dressed up like it’s winter time. So yeah, and extra heat on my back and legs. Uh it’s not doing me any good. So I will probably love the air con on the airport. So yeah, just got to the airport now to the car rental drop off. Uh let’s just say leaving um bar didn’t go quite to plan. So we got back to the park and ride thing and on the screen it, you know, you put your ticket in and on the screen it showed you could put um pay by card. So I sort of looked and thought, well that looks like a card slot, put my card in and it, you know, took it in and then nothing just would not work. And what I deducted is I put my card in the uh cash slot, you know, to pay with cash bank notes. Yeah, bank notes. Uh obviously it wouldn’t eject me card. It swallowed it. Um, so this woman said, “Oh, there’s a machine further up. You can pay by card there.” So, right, let’s go tap tap me phone, pay that way. Nothing working. So, I like great. And we never carry cash. Something that we might have to change now. Just have a few euro. But, you know, the world the world is going cashless. So, you know, you very rarely ever have to need it. Uh, we this would be the first time we’ve needed it on this trip. Yeah. Yeah. That that and it it were only a euro to pay as well. Uh so I went to they had like a site office went to the office did Google translate translated what I needed to say and um he said he understood but I don’t think he did. So anyway he said he’d come down and he he was s repeating himself that you can’t pay by card at this machine and I were like yes I know. Um, I’ve gathered that from the fact I can see me card in your machine but can’t get to it. Um, so anyway, he said, “Oh, he’s going to go get sorted further up.” And they were telling me I’m going to have to go into town, go to a cash machine, draw some cash out to come back. Um, and I says, “Well, the card I need is in your machine.” Um, so anyway, he went he went and got the keys. I think he had to wait for a guy to turn up who had the other keys to get into it. So it were like a double key system. They were able to get in, but in the meantime, Casher had asked some passing Italians um if they had a spare euro for us to pay with it, which they kindly gave us. And uh yeah, we managed just to pay for it and then we had to freeze the card because obviously it’s never getting back. Um but then I had a little bit more problem. So, normally you you return your car fully fueled for the rental hire, but obviously our car card had just been swallowed. So, went on to the app to make sure you know the maximum tap on your phone limits were all to maxed out so we could pay for the fuel. No issues. But usually you need the receipt from filling up, you know, or usually sometimes they ask for it. So, um paid for it all. It’s an automotive machine. And the guy, there were a guy there and he said, “Yeah, you put your fuel in and then you come back, tap your card, and it’ll give you a receipt.” Turns out it doesn’t. What you have to do is you have to pre-seelelect that you wanted a receipt, then fuel up, then tap your card, which I didn’t do because the machine was in Italian. Uh, I found out afterwards you could put it into English, but not everything was translated into English from Italian. Uh so yeah, a little bit of drama to end the holiday, but we’re here. We’re on time. Luckily, we went early in case it could turn into a bigger drama. Um we do have some other cards with us. The issue is obviously you get charged to use those cards abroad. Um so they’re just a bit of an emergency card uh for when things go really peeked on. But we’re at the airport now, so we’re going to get our backs out. hopefully drama 3. Go drop off the car keys and we’ll be good to go. So yeah, bye for now. Hey guys, we went through all the security checks now and we’re just getting some water in the shop. Um, we seen some fridge magnets which I’m going to copy right here. I recorded this with the phone uh as I thought the angle were better. Um but yeah, we’re just going to grab some water and go have a sit and just chill. Um yeah, that’s it really. So see you probably on the plane unless we have something else interesting to say.
