New Year's Eve and back in Peschici

It's a gorgeous sunny day, so a short diary and off into the sunshine. Tomorrow is forecast wet, so I'll do more writing and photo editing then.

It's good to be back home even though we left behind underfloor heating and a jacuzzi in Alberobello. Almost trullied out after 2 good days of exploration. They are very striking buildings from the outside.

And from within

That is one of the piccolo trullis on the North side of the town where the living Nativity was staged.

The Pietradimora B&B was one of the larger trulli's on the South side of the town with the main cone being over the bed.
The view looking up from the bed is impressive. But . . . . . .
Thw conical shape will be great for cooling in the hot summers but it did mean that in our wonderfully warm room you could feel the cold cone above you and so there were no limbs outside the blanket at night.
The other downside is that the acoustic characteristics of the cone mean that any sound underneath, say like someone snoring, like the Whispering Gallery in St Pauls, are amplified about 10 fold. No names, but guess who had a sleepless night !

All was forgiven over breakfast

Thw 30 miles from Alberobello to Ostuni is non stop cones, and lovely old walled cities like this one at Locorotunda.
We are 10 years too late to snap up a bargain - I blame Amanda Lamb. But we will return.
