Polignano a Mare to Trani

30 Jun

We left lovely Polignano a Mare after a solid breakfast and extraction of two tandem bikes down the staircase again. Non problema. Today was a straightforward 85km ride up the coastline in 29° sunshine but with a strong headwind to cool us off.
The locals were flocking to the sea today and every accessible spot on the rocky shore was habited by bikinis and speedos. Young or old, fit or not, it was all being flaunted and baked. Curiously, one piece bathing suits were hardly seen, just as a scientific observation.
We were starting to flag as we got to our destination in Trani but a late stop for a caffé freddo (cold espresso with lots of sugar) picked me up. After we were installed in our latest B&B we went for an aperitivo on the port walkway. Trani is a beautiful spot and became very lively as the evening air stilled from the 5 days of wind.
