Next - we washed out our underwear and hung them on the drying wracks. We didn't have any clothespins so we left it inside until we could return with some.
Off to another adventurous day. We drove to Polignano a Mare on the coast, then Mola di Bari. Both these towns are on the sea. These "small" towns are amazing. They are not small at all.
Street after street of narrow roads and high walls with a door every once in a while, or a store that you would never know was there. We drove down to the waterfront but in both cases it was a rocky edge but great views.
I really wanted to go to an IKEA store, as we had seen signs but just a arrow in the right direction and then nothing. So we gave up on that. We saw a grocery store and decided to stop there for a few things. The store was big and clean and had anything you could every want including clothes pins.
We decided to head inland to a "small" town called Triggiano.
Getting hungry, we couldn't really find a good place to eat, and if we did there was nowhere to park. Well guess what! Those golden arches reared their heads and we put McDonalds into the GPS and it took us right there. Only to find IKEA right across the road! So we decide that IKEA would probably have better food than McD's and went there to eat and then look around. We were disappointed to discover that they only had a snack bar with pizza or a hot dog. So that is what we had with a coke Zero and Bonnie had a chocolate glazed donut. How's that for dieting.
So we wandered all around the store. It is almost exactly like home only the signs are in Italian of course. Before leaving we found the REAL restaurant, which was much more expensive and we had a soft gelato each for 50 cents.
We came back, put the pegs on our clothes and put the rack outside for drying. Went to the pool, came back and our stuff was dry. No more whining for us. We have hot water and clean undies.
Tomorrow more small town exploring.
