Monopoli

After a delicious breakfast of cold cuts and cheese...FINALLY! I packed up to go to Monopoli and Alberobello. It was sunny and almost warm today. It took about 45 minutes to get there, and the drive was beautiful.

I tried to find a place to park near the centro, and almost ended up in it. Bad idea. Finally, I found a spot on a square just outside the historic area.

It was busier than the other seaside towns I've visited, but still pretty quiet. I walked around aimlessly for about an hour. There was a castle, lots of fishermen, and whitewashed buildings everywhere. I stopped at a place and bought some "fritto misto", which turned out to be arancini. I also got some sort of panini. Both for later, but don't think the arancini will last long!

After about 2 hours I decided it was time to leave. Next stop--Alberobello.

(Spoiler alert...the arancini barely made it out of Monopoli) Czytaj więcej
