September 5: Otranto

The day begins with the parting of the clouds and the morning sun shining brightly in the sky. The olive trees have resumed their standing positions after a night of dancing and the flowers are once again emitting a fragrance of sweet smell. A full breakfast is in order before venturing out on the roads along the coast by bike this time. A ride around the countryside and down the coast is a welcome venture after several days of rain and worry. The day is followed then by a wonderful dinner and wine tasting at a local winery!
