Kevnjan's big adventure.

Spent a very quiet night in the country last night, the sky was brilliant with stars. Woke up this morning, clouds were gathering. We were quite high up and it was very cold. Had an early breakfast and hurried to get on the move. As we pulled away the snow started to fall. I suppose that was the price we had to pay for the sunshine yesterday!! As we got closer to the coast the snow turned to rain, much to Janet's relief, she's a nervy passenger at the best of times, but in the snow she's murder. We arrived at a sosta, found in the guide, in Taranto with the intention of spending a couple of days in the town. It is no longer a sosta, no water, no electricity, no discharge point. We went to the harbour, found the fish we'd been seeking for days and intended to visit the cathedral. The weather once again turned nasty and we headed out of town. Having driven another 50 miles or so in search of a site which was open we had to admit defeat and find a suitable place to wild camp again. Our investment last week in the inverter was timely. Southern Italy really is closed for business. It's good to know we are self sufficient. We are on a quiet road by the beach just south of Porto Cesaro, on the way to Galipoli. Watched a wonderful sunset and have just enjoyed a fish dinner of great quality. Don't know how Jan does it. TV and a glass of coke for me.
