The Adriatic Coast

Whew !  16 hours on a ferry!

 We disembarked at 10.30 to a lovely day AND a tail wind. 

 

Christine wears the new biking top that Graeme gave her...and ...I get to mend another puncture

Right beside us is the ferry that recently caught fire on the same crossing.

  

All along the waterfront as we rode out of Bari,people were sunbathing or playing cards. Lovely atmosphere.

  We came across a 'protest' ride by about 100 cyclists .They had the local Mayor with them and they were asking for better access along the waterfront. A bit like the rally in Tauranga we attended before leaving. A couple came with us to show us the way out of town, one even helping Christine over a difficult bit

We're dog tired after last night so after only about 30kms we stopped at L'hotel del Sole. Well over budget but right on the beach. We're looking forward to exploring the ancient town of Malfetta in the morning. I just caught the sun sinking behind it as we had our pizza on the beach
