Getting further South

We left Pescara on our way to the condo at Monopoli on the Adriatic coast.
We followed the autostrade 350 KM through some wonderful countryside.
Snow covered mountains in the distance and lots of houses on the hillsides. This whole country seems to be on a hill. Further down we found the countryside was either olive trees or vineyards as far as the eye could see.

After a few wrong turns we finally arrived at the correct spot, checked in and inquired about laundry facilities. Well they sent us into Monopoli, a small town of only 56,000 folks. What a disaster. We went up and down 5 foot wide streets for about an hour with no idea where we were. Of course we found NO laundry facilities. We thought of heading back to Udine to see if Claudio's mother could finish off the laundry she started a few days ago.

Anyway, back to the condo for a well earned glass of wine on the balcony.
The picture below is from our balcony. The balcony is large enough to host a dinner party and dance out there.


The coastline here is much more rugged than the last couple of places we stayed.


We have a fitness club staying in the complex this weekend. They asked Bonnie to lead them doing the Zumba on trampolines. That's her with her back to the picture.


Tomorrow -- Who the hell knows.
