Good question. I don’t know.

Holy! What a torrent!

Anne, I see a quilt design!

What is that "box" on the right around the pipes? In between the orange urn and the black and white striped road marker?

Love the naughty corner comment!

Beautiful pics of your day. So glad you got a great ride in. Too bad about dinner and the dogs! A bit scary. Glad you were both okay.

I like the elevation profile as you approach your destination. Good work! A dramatic setting…great photos! After that climb you really did deserve a nice dinner though. Tomorrow maybe!

Laundry day for us today too!
Glad you had another delicious dinner. Hope you can ride tomorrow.

No, we did not. I couldn’t figure out how the bread casing didn’t get wet. It’s the first time I have seen this kind of pie.

I am interested in the onions. Thanks for sharing this info.
So sorry to hear that you are getting so much rain. Hope things improve for the rest of your trip.

The best way to eat! Sorry to hear about the poor weather battling much of Italy. Your flexibility in your planning adds even more cred to your cycle touring experience!

Anne! Did you get the recipe for the savoury pie?

We experienced the same wind from Africa when we were in Corsica. Like you, everything was covered in a thin layer of dirt. Our B&B owner explained what had happened.
So glad the trains are an option to get you around the detours. Fingers crossed for sunny days and no landslides.

So true, Joy. I can’t wait to see Basilicata. It’s far more interesting and beautiful than I imagined, based on pictures showing dry, parched landscape.

Good to have Plan B though I’m sorry you didn’t see the park and enjoy sunshine. I expect you’re exploring new adventures!
