Today
we decided to try the Italian railway system. Now, as you now, a certain
Italian bloke sorted the trains in 1943. The country was very grateful for that
but sort of forgot he fixed the trains in 1945. Nonetheless, they still arrive
and depart on the minute, are comfortable and clean. Go Benito, I say.
So,
off to Matina Franca today. Another white, limestone city about an hour away. After
wandering around the old city, we found a place for lunch. Now, here’s the
thing. Do you go to the busy, white tablecloth place or, the 4.9 rated place
with no one? Ah, clearly the former is full of Americans eating pizza. We chose
the latter, with momma and the boys waiting patiently at the door to welcome us.
Of course, we attracted many other diners as the day went on.
A
couple of pasta dished of the region, lots of tomato sauce! And a wonderful vino
rosso made the lunch a great experience. We took photos with momma and the
boys. Under their restaurant sign of course! Cinque stella we promised as a
review.
The
return train journey was relaxing and the walk up hill and up the steps to
home, a reminder of how Flashy dreams of flat, seafront destinations. He’s just
over hills and stairs!
Home
at 5.00 pm and it’s dark already. Signs that winter is approaching.
