Today we left Puglia and drove to Matera in Basilicata. Problem was it was hot again and we couldn’t check in to our hotel til 3 pm. Solution, head for a beach. The beach in question was San Pietro in Bevagna, recommended by our hotel.
Nervously exiting the hotel
Maps.me directed backroads
At last the beach! Amazing crystal clear water
The endlessly amusing beach hawkers
Kite man
Beach dress man - help I’m Stuck!
Sunglasses man
We stayed at the beach so long everything was shut in the little villages but we did find an open supermarket and made very passable bread rolls which we ate in the car’s air conditioned comfort!

Our troglodyte hotel room
Bathroom in what was a stable - hitching rail still in place
An original water storage cistern behind our bed
