The day started in fine style with clear skies and marching bands! I was treated to the performance of two local bands who marched as part of the festival. The day had started earlier for some with a 4a.m. mass which was unfortunately close to Keith and Julie's accommdation. The market stalls seem to have been open all night as well and the streets were busy.
We set off for our first stop: brunch at Locorotondo, to meet up at the park with a lovely view out over the local countryside.
From there it was a short trip to Ostuni. My accommodation was very good, spacious and with a great roof top terrace.
Kate and I did some exploring and had a wonderful salad lunch in a leafy courtyard restaurant. We had a glass of an equally excellent local fiano, and then explored some more.
With a late lunch I decided to skip dinner and I think we were all somewhat tired for various reasons including the overnight noise in Alberobello and the exertions of exploring Matera. So it was an early night for me!
