Left San Gimignano at 8.30am for our drive to Sulmona where we are overnighting on our way to the Adriatic coast. Very smooth drive on the autostrada and arrived in 4 hours. Fantastic roads and tunnels. Hardly any traffic being Dominica or Sunday, very different from our previous drive on the A1.
Staying in a very flash B & B called Sei Stella that overlooks the piazza. It also has part of the Roman aquaduct that we see outside in the piazza built into it.
Unpacked then went for a walk, 29 degrees outside but pleasant breeze. Visited two more exquisite churches and walked along the garden promenade.
Sulmona is famous for its confetti or flavored and coloured confectionary. A traditional sweet for Italian weddings. Some amazing flower displays and yes they are all edible!
Out for dinner tonight at a ristorante recommended by Davide our very generous and welcoming host.
