After the highlights of a brilliant time in Maratea, it as time to hit road again on the way to Vieste. We are now heading north again - it seems no time since we last left Ireland. Most of our riding today was in the morning, but again we had some fantastic twisty windy roads to ride on. Lots of hairpin bends, but on everyone of them my heart is in my mouth until we get past them. While I am getting better, I felt the pace on the twisty roads is just a bit too fast for me.
Once again we had a splendid lunch in a place called Capolemea Beach near Siponto - fantastic tasting ravioli, though service was a bit chaotic. This was also the first time since our honeymoon in 1986 that either of us had been to the Adriatic Sea. We had a romantic moment! We then made the short distance to our hotel in Vieste, where we had the first rain of the trip (just a minute).
Vieste is a lovely city and after check-in, Roma and I decided to check out the old town. This of course really meant stopping at a bar for an aperol spritz - of which I am getting too fond. We were joined by our new friends in the group and had a few drinks at the Carpenter bar in the old city. We had shared pizza and lots of laughs at the Pietro pizza restaurant - famous for its gourmet pizzas.
We are expecting rain tomorrow morning.bit hopefully not too much.
Some photos from today…
