1st May Massafra to Brindisi. 89km. Trying to avoid busy roads we took a path which turned out to be quite difficult with our trailers. It was the wettest day so far. In fact the roads were flooded near Brindisi which was our planned destination. From now on our route was planned from day to day. Click on the photos for more information.

2nd May As there was no ferry from Brindisi to Albania we stayed 2 nights in Brindisi, then took the train north to Bari and took a ferry from Bari on 3rd May. Brindisi had very wet weather. We visited the town on May 2nd.
