Southern Italy

Hi

Unfortunately we cant show any photos today since the computer wont let us!
We have left ROME and have come south. We are now in a place called Alberobella.
Over the past 2 days we have visited three strange places.
The first place is Alberobella and there are buildings called Trulli which have rooves made of stone slabs.
We then went to a place called Matera and part of this is called the Sassi. In this place they filmed the movie with Mel Gibson when he was acting being Jesus. In the movie it was meant to be in Jerusulam but in actual fact it was filmed in Sassi. There the houses are mostly carved out of the limestone rocks.
Then today we went to a third town called Ostuni with all white washed houses not quite like Greek islands but on the way!
Tomorrow we get on board a ferry to go to the famous island of Sicily where we spend a few days.
Catch you later. It may be a couple of days until I can find a computer again.
