By the sea After three consecutive stays in large cities (Copenhagen, Milan and Rome) it was nice to get back to a seaside city (OK, Copenhagen is by the sea but we didn't see much of it). Trani is also a lot smaller at only about 50,000. It is also the site of my first “epic failure” of “Google Maps”. I had mapped out the route from the train station to the B&B and it looked pretty weird... Read Full Entry

ToBeContinued

Dianne liked this shot looking up from Castel del Monte's courtyard.

Inventive

It's not that obvious but this planter/bike rack is on wheels so it can be moved around to where it is needed.

La Chiesa Nuova

Compared to most churches, this one was really new. Note the different bell tower.

Padre Pio

This local saint rivals St Francis in popularity in Puglia. I am sure they would both be horrified to think it was a popularity contest.

Monastery

There were renovation signs all over this former monastery. It would be a fantastic location for a hotel or conference centre. Pretty good one for a monastery too.

Oops

The result of our misunderstood breakfast order. It was great.

Antennas

This is a common sight in all the old towns we have visited. Good internet though

Christmas lights?

Check out the guy at the top of the ladder. Notice the wheels on the bottom of the ladder. And the guy being ballast to keep it from moving. What would Work Safe BC have to say about this?

Ballast

At one point he got up to get a cigarette. So much for holding the fort for his buddy.

Top of the world.

No safety harness. No net. But he does manage to keep his cigarette going. Great entertainment while we were eating breakfast,
