    A perfect 24 hours in Bari Itinerary

    Byemfletche October 1, 2023March 19, 2025

    Putting aside our travel woes, Bari did charm us, and is absolutely worth a day and night of a Puglia trip. By day, the pasta-rolling nonne on Strada delle Orecchiette provide endless entertainment and you can easily get lost in the maze of narrow winding streets. It’s at dusk though that Bari Vecchia comes alive.

So what IS a Brummie?

Welcome to my World!

Alright bab?

I’m Emmalene, a forty-something born and bred Brummie. Married to Chris. AKA Mr Fletche, taker of photographs, driver abroad and long-suffering travel companion.

I’m a big advocate of eating, drinking and supporting local independent businesses.

But travel is my passion. Simple, easy travel. Here you’ll find how to cram all the sights into a weekend city break. Accidental hikes. Travel fails. Honest rambling travel diaries. Where to find craft beer, gin and street food.

We fit travel around full-time jobs, making the most of weekends, Bank Holidays and maximising those precious annual leave days!

Apart from travel, I love to read books, listen to music, drink gin and visit the theatre.

I always love to hear what you think so please like, comment or share!

Happy travelling…home and abroad!

Emmalene, A Brummie Home and Abroad
