Arriverderci, Abruzzo; Salve, Puglia

We left the region of Abruzzo and traveled into our favorite region, Puglia. The weather is warmer, the sea seems bluer and life is good.  We stopped for a quick look around the seaside city of Trani before hitting our final destination of Conversano. This is our base for the next five nights.
