Peculiar Puglia

[Cyclefrance]

Just back from a week in Italy - the region of Puglia (pronounced poo-lee-aah) where the trullis are to be found. None the wiser? Well, the region is unique for its architecture in the form of beehive/cone-shaped dwellings. We (that's me and Mrs CF, Julia by real name, so even more peculiar taking Julia to Puglia...) even rented one to stay in. As a picture speaks a thousand times better than my ramblings here's the pictorial rundown.

First the location - in the heel of Italy - bloody hot - 40C (I think that's over 100F) a couple of days while we were there. But that's where the trulli score as their unique construction keeps out the heat... Oh, yes, I said I'd use pictures - well here's a map to be getting on with - we were just outside Alberobello, the trulli capital, so to speak - located near Mass Zippo on the map.
