Ostuni

Another super hot day predicted so we planned ona visit to Ostuni in the morning and pool time in the afternoon. But first breakfast.


Then a stroll through the orchard revealed this trullo in original condition. It was te original family home and is about 100 years old.


We drove to Ostuni old town, stopping for the classic photo en route


We wandered around the old town...


..again amazing churches and street scenes (and tourists)..




An old man with an Apé selling fruit


The Cathedral


Opulent inside as expected 



The panoramic view from the edge of town - olive trees, olive trees, and more olive trees  


We even found a ceramic of a recently departed dear friend 


We had planned to have lunch in Ostuni, but that pool at our Trulli beckoned, so we bought some bread, porcetta and Gorgonzola and headed home. Then to the garden for arugula, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, basil, figs, zucchini and apricots...



Oh that pool!


We had been offered the use of the BBQ as well so decided to take up that offer as well for dinner. Bruschetta to start using garlic and tomatoes from the garden 


BBQing our eat plus zucchini from the garden 


Cheers, plus the  owner dropped by with some plums he had just picked from the orchard 


Caramelising some figs from the garden 


Then to cap it off a beautiful sunset
