Ordinary breakfast then head northeast towards the Adriatic.
Scenery fairly grand but not on a par with other areas that we have seen in Italy. Arrival at the Adriatic is very disappointing and the port town of Termoli is seemingly closed for the day. However, we do manage to find a bar near the train station for a panino and drink.
The coastal strip from Termoli to Peschici is flat, boring and not a very good advertisement for the Adriatic.
Things take a real turn for the better as we approach the Promontorio di Gargano and we start to appreciate why this part of the world is regarded as one of Italy's finest areas.
Arrive at Agriturismo La Chiusa dell More ( The Enclosure of the Blackberries ) which is situated a short distance from the beach and turns out to be by far the most up-market agri we have stayed at during our trip. A property set amongst olive groves, superb rooms, a very genial host Francesco and as we later find out the most fantastic cuisine.
After long day decide to book dinner at the agri and the 4 course meal, cooked by Francesco's wife is an absolute delight. Meet up with a German couple, Bernd and Leanne from Berlin spend an enjoyable and entertaining 2 hours before heading off to be somewhat bloated but content.
