Trulli

We toured the small towns in the area of the masseria, Alberobello, Martina Franca, Cisternino, Ostuni. It's a beautiful area of rolling hills, olive groves, vineyards and gardens. The trulli are everywhere. Lonely Planet described them as Disney like dwellings that look gnomes should live in them. I agree. Alberobello is the main area for trulli and it has a tourist tackiness that is NOT appealing but the trulli are interesting and the towns are attractive.

And of course we have eaten very well! But we have found out that in Puglia, gelato IS NOT made, sold or eaten in the winter. I shall NOT be returning this late in the year again! We're sorry to see our trip coming to a close but we have had a great time and really enjoyed the locations we chose to visit.
