Trulli wonderful

Late Monday afternoon and we are still in the land of internet connections in the most fabulous B&B in Alberobello, the Pietradimora -http://www.pietradimora.it.

It is superbly renovated, with just 3 guest suites in a trulli with staggering views over the heart of the city. Underfloor heating, jacuzzi, heated towels and the wonderful Daniella as our hostess.
It rightly has the top rating as the most popular accommodation in the area.

This is the view across the town from the roof garden.

Our 150 mile drive South from Peschici yesterday took us through the Foresta Umbra, this time covered in snow.
When we arrived in Alberobello the town was bursting at the seams and after we had grabbed a space to park we went off into the town, armed with Daniella's advice.

She had mentioned a living nativity in the Church opposite and so we went to get tickets. They were free and our time was at 5:05pm. I had expected a stable scene with the usual Nativity figures.

How wrong I was, as you will find out when we post the full story. Nearly 3 hours later and having experienced some amazing tableaux we did see the stable scene.
It was the most amazing experience. Later, over supper, we met people from Rome - 4 hours away and Naples, 3 hours the other way, who had come just to see it.

More after we have collated the video and still images.

Today was the Trulli highway to Ostuni - images and story to follow. The Brits are already here though. Daniella said over breakfast that they had arrived in so many numbers the area was becoming known as Trullishire !
