It’s been a long day, but it went well. 

Katy dropped me off at the railway station just before 6am. I was tired after a sleepless night, but the views from the train were so pretty that I couldn’t sleep. We went down the Fife coast. 

The flight to Bari was more or less on time. 

The bus to Matera stopped on the outskirts  of the town so I had to get a taxi into the centre to meet the friend who was collecting me, but the taxi driver’s cousin is from Pisticci. We had a very nice chat and he insisted I phone my friend before I got out of the taxi so I didn’t get wet. ( it was raining.)  

Now I’ve been out for pizza and am sitting outside  writing this. I think I’ll probably sleep tonight as I’m exhausted. 

Cheers🍷🍷
