Matilde enjoyed the flame of her baptism candle after being christened.

But she was desperate to leave the church after a while. It was an evening baptism ceremony!

Zia Rosa always brings a smile to our faces.

Michelle and Micol waiting desperately for the food service to start.

Vins pretended to sit at the buffet table like it was a wedding ceremony.

Vins has begin listening to vocal messages in the Italian style.

An evening walk along the beach for me and the girls. Just what we needed...

All the beach clubs are closed for the winter but doesn't stop us from posing in front of them.

The Sciala used to belong to Vins' family and was a seafood distributor. Now it's a disco.

Trani #8

January 7, 2025 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

It's been a busy few days since we got back to Trani. Lots of catching up with friends and recovering from the general hubbub of Christmas and New Year's Eve.
Now that I think of it, we had Matilde's baptism and then the befana came on the 6th so there really wasn't much time for resting.
School started again for children in Italy today so routines are back to normal for most people - except us.
Only 5 days left until we fly out.Read more
