| First stop was Riccione. This is the house of my Italian Friend Jack and his wife Bruna. Located in P.a Alba by the sea. | The Hotel Ca'Bianca was our choice. I was there several summers more than 40 years ago. www.hotelcabianca.it The Adriatic sea is just one minute away. | S:ta Maria, north of Vieste in Gargano, Puglia. The hills have a lovely forest and olive trees are growing. Very scenic view. |
 |
 |
 |
| Under the shade of the olive trees, the Alfa Romeo Duetto found a cool place. The olive trees made us all feel so much Italian. | Stina and I enjoyed the swimming pool every afternoon. Nice and refreshing and time to load the batteries at the pool-side. | This is the view from our "Villa". It's the ristorante Pizzeria only 20 meters away. Plus the food was excellent. |
 |
 |
 |
| New and fresh environment. | The beach was like the beach in Riccione, but the sand had a more yellow tone. | Aah, enjoying the sun in Italy! |
 |
 |
 |
| Stina is preparing the dinner. | We bought everything at the local market in Vieste, 5 minutes in the Spider took us there. | Everything was made Italian style. |

| Tomatoes dried in the sun. A beer or a glass of red wine, what else do you need actually. | One day, our Italian friend Fabio4ever from Puglia had invited us to Trani, north of Bari to meet his friends. This was the only day it was raining, but who cares. | Fabio4ever says benevenuto. Great to see old friends again. |
 |
 |
 |
| The rain had just stopped pouring down. Fabio4ever and Frank and his wife are as always very happy to see us. | Mandatory photo and friends. me, Stina, Frank and "la sua moglie". | A Lancia Montecarlo was also there to join the meeting. Raimondo is from the Old Cars Club of Puglia. |
