Another day of very hot,boring ride that ends early at 3.30pm in an abandoned house in Mottola,about 25 km more to a coastal town of Taranto.The hope of finding a proper camping ground came to nothing, as I continued to wild camped with my smelly body and dirty clothing. The ride was so boring so much so I had forgotten to take any pictures .The S100 road was not only busy with traffics but the scenery too was nothing to shout about. And for the 1st time I bought and bottom up a local beer by the brand Raffe Beer ( 3 euro) in the midst of my ride.This is not the usual me to consume beer during rest stops, but I surprised even myself when I saw this petrol station with a group of workmen drinking at the station cafe. I also bought a hamburger ( 2 euro) to keep me going. The group of drunken workmen waved goodbye to me as I continue my journey. But not before long, with the hot sun above and guess a little bit of the beer effect,I was feeling very sleepy and thirsty that eventually landed in this abandoned house for a good night sleep.
