The ferry trip over was 9 hours and I have been worring about the high seas for 2 days. Much to my surprise it was a very smooth ride. After a nice shower and cup of coffee we would diesmbrk the boat and start to search for the rental car place. With the Gps in hand and towing our bag we zeroed in, about 1 1/2 miles from the ferry terminal Once again gerite got us right to the right spot and were on the road again only we had the international driver and 1 navigator , how things have changed in 1 week. Our route is to 
head south as it is still raining and this would be a good time to get some distance behind us. The shape of Italy has a heel, toe and what Bob calls a spur, is where we are headed. The drive was through the one of the National Parks named Gargano and the groves of olives went for miles, more than we have seen anywhere. We located a dot on the map called Peschici and decided this would be a good place to stop for lunch. The restaurant was called Piccolo Paradiso, we knocked on the door and they were not open but someone came and invited us in to have lunch. We dined on antipasto del mar which is things of the sea and that it was. There were some things with tenacles, clams-oysters and some kind of local fish along with this we had a big pizza.

We continued to drive around the spur heading south hoping to find a place to say before hitting the big cities. This coast is known for it's anceint forests, limestone cliffs, and many grottos. We check some gorgeous places but they were not open for the season. This area is a big resort area only reachable by car it is one of the few spots that houses beautiful sand beaches. The final place we checked was marginally open but a very nice place, we are a little ahead of the season. There were 5 guests staying at the place so you can't beat that. The gentleman who own-run the place spoke no English but we did manage to communicate. They let me use a flash drive to hook into the internet for a short time as th

ey were not hooked up yet.There were no restaurants open so they invited us to dine at the hotel. We arrive to a table for 2 ( the setting was like something out of the bachelor) the only difference there were no cameras. The food was was good and we truly were the only people in the restaurant. When completing our dinner another man arrived and we think he was the mayor of the nearby town best as we could tell
