It's Bianco Spino. After the rain, the sun is always there. Bella. Again, the Porsche 356 of Dario wanted some attention. We all tried to assist.

This is the Castello del Monte in Puglia. www.casteldelmonte.it. It was built 1240 by Fredrik II. Eight towers in a cirkel on top of the hill. Perfect view from the top. The landscape in Puglia was very abandoned, very nice roads on top of that. What could be better. Stina is meditating at Monte San Angelo in Gargano. It is located at Gargano. Stina dreams while she looks out over the Golfo di Manfredonia

Old and fascinating historic town. Stina is waiting outside a  "Cantoniera". We found this spot in the middle of Foresta Umbra. The dark wood. It was very deserted too. But a wonderful place to be driving in. Centro Storico at Vieste made us dream. We recommend Vieste, really. www.vacanzevieste.it

Mandatory tours on very, very small and narrow roads. That's the fun part of the Cuore Sportivo. South side of Gargano. The road was the regular road used by everyone. no traffic hardly in September.

City center of Vieste at night. A very good restaurant in Vieste, Punto 19. We had lovely and very tasty meals there. Frutti di mare. The rings at the bottom are "scaldatidd" as they say in Puglia. Aah!

After two lovely weeks in Gargano and Vieste, we drove to Rome. On the way we spent some time in Montecassino. This is the monastery. www.montecassino.it Just outside Montecassino there is a graveyard. Soldiers from the UK rest here. Thank you.
