It's market day again. Only bought peaches today but still did the rounds of the stalls. A new thing for Italy ... hot chips being sold in a paper bag, by weight at a rotisserie chicken van. They were popular and I was very tempted.
The Gelateria only opens at 4 pm and the bar in the piazza was sold out so we were heading for the carpark feeling deprived. Then I spotted a small sign that gave me hope.
This is so typical of Italian buildings ... what you see on the outside is rarely what you get inside. Just inside the door is a Lotto counter, and then ...
Further back were a couple of poker machines discreetly hidden by a screen, toilets and, to the side, a door outside to a beautiful terrace with a gelati refrigerator. Sorry, no photos, I only had eyes for my flavour selection. Once served we sat at their outdoor tables ...
What a discovery!
In the evening we walk our small amount of rubbish and recyclables to the bins. Luckily it is before the roller coaster drive way. These photo below show the private road we travel on to reach our farmhouse. The main road runs across at the top of this steep road. Going out is more challenging because little manual cars need a good run up to get to the top, and the traffic is wizzing by so stopping at the correct moment is crucial.
