Our 20 mile ride today took us thru villages and courtyard back roads some with hills most of which I was able to make. Lunch stop was Otranto a seaside town pictured above. We joined 5 others from the tour at outdoor tables for a lunch of rustici a hot pocket type sandwich of cheese and tomato sauce. Quite tasty but not too much to have room for Gelato coffee gelato served with expresso a dish called affogatti a meal in itself. Lots of people were cooling in the Adriatic waters which were very shallow near the shoreline. Sailboats could be seen in the distance but didn't seem to have much wind. We remounted our bikes and rode away from the town and the sea to our Masseria our home for the next 2 nights a beautiful peaceful place in the countryside. Tonight we will return to Otranto for more touring and dinner. It will be difficult to match last nights multiple course feast of local medieval specialities.
