The food!

This couple of days past so fast between cycling (we sure know how to pose for a good foto 🤣!).
We tried our "new" used bikes that we've got from our friends Riccardo and Miriam ( thank you!the bikes are doing very well!)We did 16 km for our first trip. A bit of a sore ass, but they say it will pass 😀
For sure we have to move! Amelia's kitchen is full of delicious food that you can also try for yourself, because together with Vinicio and Sasha (their son),they run this lovely and cute restaurant in Lecce.It's called:
If you're in Lecce to sightsee, it's a mandatory dinner stop!!
Saturday was the local market day.Amelia took us shopping for veggies and fish all km0 produce.How is that for sustaining local farmers and fishermans!
We had to have a Caffe Leccese ( served on ice with almond syrup) and Pasticciotto! A staple pastry of this region filled with pastry cream and amarena.
You cannot resist!
Met Amelia's maestro ( she's learning how to make 🧺 ), a skill that sadly,slowly disappears.
and look what a handsome chap that I' ve found myself on the market 😉
Will stay here for few more days so Puglia's saga to be continued...

Isola di San Pietro

Meravigliosa!Wow! Where to start! So far one of my preferred places in our travels. Franco has been here few times before. But I didn't expect it to be so beautiful! It has this special atmosphere maybe because it's very small roughly 20km X 20 km. It's four of us, Franco and I, Liz our friend that often goes on holidays with us and Davide that stays here 6 months a year but comes from Travo which is close to where we all live. It's always great to have an insider that knows all the stuff about the island 🙂 They all spearfish so we have fish every day!!There's only one town on the island- Carloforte with it's majestic ficus trees in the main square. The town has everything you need with restaurants, supermarkets and bars.And obviously is very lively so if you want to have fun you go to the city and if you want to have peace you can find a quiet beach with few people at this time of the year  .The rest are all the ...

Discovering The Island

Image
Last 3 weeks has flyed by. Time goes quickly when you're in a good company 🙂. We had enough time to discover stories between the island, meet new friends and get bored with the same places🤣. Being on the island limits moving around, especially in camper because there aren't a lot of roads suitable for camper but we discovered them by bike. Many people that come to San Pietro for at least 20 years do notice that since the TV series L' Isola di Pietro the place boomed with tourism and not in the good way.  ( the house that was the main set of the series) The special atmosphere has gone. For me it was the first time and I loved it, but don't think I would like to be here in August when the amount of people exceeds the island capacities. There are some sad stories of abandoned places and vandalism by local youth which is quite difficult to understand.On the photo you can see this huge hotel complex that was never completed and now is abandoned and vandalized. ...
