Now in Basilicata province. Compare to Puglia, this province doesn't have many interests. Matera was only place I was interested in. However, I missed it because I went a wrong way and gave up to visit. Then, I simply cycled along the coast.

バジリカータ州に入って来た。プーリアと比べると見所がない。唯一マテッラという昔の住居跡があるくらいか。そのマテッラは道を間違えて行けず、海沿いを走って来た。

There were many らかはquiet beaches, and water was so clear.
静かなビーチが多くて、透明度も抜群。


Agriculture is main industry here. Cycled along the fields of orengs, lemons and grapes.
この辺りも農業が主産業で、オレンジ、レモン、葡萄畑が永遠と続いている。


In southern Italy, they do siesta; people take a break during the day. When you come into a town or village afternoon, they look like a ghost town. You cannot find food and even coca-cola.
イタリア南部にはシエスタを取る習慣がある。1時になってから町に入るとゴーストタウンかと思うくらいどの店もやっていなく、食料どころか缶ジュースすら買えない。


They open up around 5pm. In Italy, there were always shops selling hams and cheese, even small village. They have many kinds, and those cheese are very tasty.
5時前後にやっと再オープン。どんな小さな町にもハムとチーズを売る店があって、品揃えも良い。チーズは本当美味しいのばかり。
