"Day spent in some of the valleys and foothills of Mt. Falakro south and SW of Volakas, especially Petroussa and Pyrgi"

Third day of holiday. Woke after a good meal last night at 6.10am with no trips to loo in night! A first for ages & just before 6.20am alarm! A clear cold morning - First down to see the 4 or 5 moths in Martin's trap, nothing very exciting. Ilyia , Martin & self chatted over coffee from vac after we found the mugs. Good breakfast - eggie bread/toast, bacon & a HB egg. Bread, jam, cherry juice & more coffee. All ready before 9am leaving in rain & cloud, prepared for a wet day. Drove over mountains south to Petroussa & an open air theatre set in a river gorge. Spectacular setting but showers & clouds made first few hours uncertain. Nightingales singing, Tony clambered up a rock race to snap a Southern Comma! Later into a Chequered Blue . Up and down steps to bottom of gorge several times. Weather gradually got better & by lunch time c 1pm it got warmer. WE had called at Aldi on way and I enjoyed my apple turnover & pain au raisin.. No euros with me so I owe Martin for mine. Also some apple juice & treat, sticks of nougat & peanut brittle. Some nice butterflies & scenery. Later c 4pm we went up the mountain to Pirgy, where the same stream had been dammed . Beautiful flowers Ramonda and White Helleborines .

Back at hotel in Volakas c 7pm , after stopping for an ice cream on the way back. After a good shower and tidy up down to drinks with Richard, Ilyia & Tony's wife & Jon etc for a Fix beer outside with the hotel dog. Then supper , a huge wodge of lasagna & salad with red wine in litre jugs & so to bed.

Eating in Puglia we have noted:

1) is the lack of diversity. Even in larger and popular tourist towns such as Ostuni there is only a single cuisine available - Italian. There are various quality levels from tiny pizzerias to nice restaurants, but no other fast food or even other cuisines such as Chinese.

(2) while the bread served everywhere is great there is no oil or butter served with it unlike the practice in USA Italianate places. It is available if you ask.

(3) there is very little beef on any menu, and certainly the steak or chop sort of dish are rare.

(4) there are no salt or pepper shakers (or any other condiment except sugar in cafés) on any table, we saw salt delivered by request to a client, but they are just absent most places.

(5) almost all (perhaps all) cafés also serve wine and other liquor. Beer is not so common and of course there are lots of wine bars.

6) coffee here is exclusively espresso drinks. A nice cappuccino is €1-1.5. A single shot espresso is typically €1. (A Euro is about $1.3). Starbucks with its prices would be laughed out of here. This is much better, too.

(7) in Puglia anyway focaccia is ubiquitous, we did not notice it so much last yr. in Venice and Sienna. The focaccias look like thick crust pizzas but are softer, eggie, dough. Locally, in Puglia anyway, the most common is focaccia with semi-dried tomatoes and olives, brushed with olive oil. The best are fabulous, and most good.

(8) several restaurants advertise as being "slow food". This movement may have started in Italy. (with Anna's uncle among others). It's not exactly clear what that means in this context, however.

(9) serving sizes are really generous. We noticed this last year as well, but ordering 2 things for two is usually plenty. It's best to do family style. It would be absurd for one to have the full course of antipasta, pasta, meat, fish, and desert.

"Day spent in some of the valleys and foothills of Mt. Falakro south and SW of Volakas, especially Petroussa and Pyrgi"

Third day of holiday. Woke after a good meal last night at 6.10am with no trips to loo in night! A first for ages & just before 6.20am alarm! A clear cold morning - First down to see the 4 or 5 moths in Martin's trap, nothing very exciting. Ilyia , Martin & self chatted over coffee from vac after we found the mugs. Good breakfast - eggie bread/toast, bacon & a HB egg. Bread, jam, cherry juice & more coffee. All ready before 9am leaving in rain & cloud, prepared for a wet day. Drove over mountains south to Petroussa & an open air theatre set in a river gorge. Spectacular setting but showers & clouds made first few hours uncertain. Nightingales singing, Tony clambered up a rock race to snap a Southern Comma! Later into a Chequered Blue . Up and down steps to bottom of gorge several times. Weather gradually got better & by lunch time c 1pm it got warmer. WE had called at Aldi on way and I enjoyed my apple turnover & pain au raisin.. No euros with me so I owe Martin for mine. Also some apple juice & treat, sticks of nougat & peanut brittle. Some nice butterflies & scenery. Later c 4pm we went up the mountain to Pirgy, where the same stream had been dammed . Beautiful flowers Ramonda and White Helleborines .

Back at hotel in Volakas c 7pm , after stopping for an ice cream on the way back. After a good shower and tidy up down to drinks with Richard, Ilyia & Tony's wife & Jon etc for a Fix beer outside with the hotel dog. Then supper , a huge wodge of lasagna & salad with red wine in litre jugs & so to bed.

Monday 8th May

"Day spent in some of the valleys and foothills of Mt. Falakro south and SW of Volakas, especially Petroussa and Pyrgi"

Third day of holiday. Woke after a good meal last night at 6.10am with no trips to loo in night! A first for ages & just before 6.20am alarm! A clear cold morning - First down to see the 4 or 5 moths in Martin's trap, nothing very exciting. Ilyia , Martin & self chatted over coffee from vac after we found the mugs. Good breakfast - eggie bread/toast, bacon & a HB egg. Bread, jam, cherry juice & more coffee. All ready before 9am leaving in rain & cloud, prepared for a wet day. Drove over mountains south to Petroussa & an open air theatre set in a river gorge. Spectacular setting but showers & clouds made first few hours uncertain. Nightingales singing, Tony clambered up a rock race to snap a Southern Comma! Later into a Chequered Blue . Up and down steps to bottom of gorge several times. Weather gradually got better & by lunch time c 1pm it got warmer. WE had called at Aldi on way and I enjoyed my apple turnover & pain au raisin.. No euros with me so I owe Martin for mine. Also some apple juice & treat, sticks of nougat & peanut brittle. Some nice butterflies & scenery. Later c 4pm we went up the mountain to Pirgy, where the same stream had been dammed . Beautiful flowers Ramonda and White Helleborines .

Back at hotel in Volakas c 7pm , after stopping for an ice cream on the way back. After a good shower and tidy up down to drinks with Richard, Ilyia & Tony's wife & Jon etc for a Fix beer outside with the hotel dog. Then supper , a huge wodge of lasagna & salad with red wine in litre jugs & so to bed.
