Oksana, my friendly host for goodbye offered me a jar of her home-made jam. This is not an Italian behaviour! You have to have Slavic soul to be so generous to the stranger! Thank you my dear !
Driving initially in the direction of Napoli soon I turned left and started to climb the slopes of the Apenines. The road was empty on the Sunday morning so I stopped several times for the pictures, especially to photograph little, remote towns and settlements stuck to the green mountain slopes.
The only bigger town on the route was Castel di Sangro. Then the road became steep and I found myself on the level of the clouds…
In the middle of the mostly cloudy day I reached the historic town of Pesconstanzo. It is small, but has roman-baroque basilica Santa Maria del Colle. Sunday service was just going inside… There are more stylish houses in the narrow streets and Piazza del Municipio.
Rain arrived and I escaped to look for my accommodation for the night. I will sleep on the level 1400 m above the sea! Let’s pray for the sunny weather for tomorrow 🙂
