Day 12: Monopoli today


Today was a day out at the seaside in Monopoli - so quaint so pretty, beautifully Italian, and a perfectly sunny hot day, around 36 degrees. 



Such a pretty little town. Beaches here have little sand and lots of rocks, but the sea is clear and the water temperature is very warm, small little fishes swimming around, very family oriented place, but not so touristy and the food was yummy. 


Pizza dough here is much lighter and airier, and was just lovely.  I had a lemon dessert drink, it was just beautiful!



It is our last day here in the heel of Italy, and it is just such a fantastic place, so laid back and just what we needed.  Tomorrow is heading to the other coastline near Amalfi and a visit to Pompeii, it is will be a longish journey, but heading north now,. We have decided against Rome and Milan, instead have changed our minds to follow a path less travelled and avoiding the heat and manicness of the main cities, as we are enjoying a slower pace much much more.
