Stopped at a restaurant…with little local food available.
we went to a place where we could take a shower as we were feeling and looking disgusting!!!
The roads have a reddish soil that gets everywhere including the underwear! In the car with the windows opened, the result is… unspeakable .
- A typical road
Around 5.25pm, we went to a “casa Famiglia” and I played with 10 kids for all afternoon…singing and dancing…I ended up very dirty again.
