A leisurely day

The day was quite leisurely once I went back to bed for a couple hours more sleep.
Up early to try to catch the sun rising over the Adriatic.


We made instant coffee (quite good) and Bonnie decided to make grilled cheese for breakfast.
It was the most "interesting" grilled cheese I have ever had.

Anyway we thought we would head down the coast for a while and look for a shopping mall for (guess who). On the way we continued our tireless search for a laundromat. (unsuccessful once again)
However the shopping was a little more successful as we found a number of stores in Brindisi, a small town of 550,00 people but as today is Sunday, most were closed. I think we may return as it is only about 100 KM away and we have high hopes of finding a laudromat.  We saw a couple that we think my be what we want, but of course they were closed.

On the way home we found a mall with a number of interesting stores. We bought a few small items had lunch and went to the Lydl store for some supplies.
We were in the store for about 5 minutes when they "kicked" us out as it was siesta time.
We managed to buy our pasta, veggies and pasta sauce along with a little wine before we had to leave. 

When we arrived at the condo, Joe dropped the pasta sauce and, of course, the bottle broke. Pasta sauce all over.

Oh well, we do have olive oil for the pasta so all should be well.

All in all a nice relaxing day for the most part.  We are both catching up on some reading.

  1. Bonnie & Joe,
    Enjoying reading about your extra time in Italia
    Bonnie - after the pasta episode, do not let Joe pick you up - let him use that energy to do the laundry down at the ocean!
    Wishing you a continued great time
