TRULLI AT ALBEROBELLO







Any idea what Trulli at Alberobello are?
First we are now - or were in Italy having taken the overnight ferry from Igoumenitsa to Bari. We were able to sleep in the camper on deck which worked fine.
The Trulli however are a 200 year old building form rather like a rondavel thatched with stone. They are cute and are owned by trolli who entice you into them in order to make you buy very expensive cinamon biscuits. We didn't so have now been cursed by the Trolli - our supermarket trolleys don't run straight. They are actually attractive buildings and propbably nice to live in if they weren't trendy.
