We leave Foggia laden with goodies, fresh ricotta, fresh mozzarella, fresh pasta, wine, liqueurs and more. There were lots of genuine tears as we say goodbye. As a matter of interest, "the best" mozzarella is made from buffalo milk (according to them that know) and for the first time ever we see buffalo in a field near Rome. We were beginning to believe that it was an Italian scam. We were wrong and eat humble pie and before you ask, no, I'm not sure where the best humble pie comes from.
We take a slightly different route going back avoiding the very boring coast road down to Rome and instead take the motorway between Rome and Florence. Once again the scenery is spectacular and helps make the 6.5 hour journey pass quite quickly. We stop overnight at a 15th century hotel just south of Florence. We eat really well in their restaurant but get a bit carried away with the wine. Oh well, at least we sleep well!
