I woke up in the morning because of a strange noise: a young dog had found my food next to the bike and was playing with the bread. I played with it for a while and started cycling then. My goal was Brindisi in 2 days - about 380km mostly flat. The tour today was hilly tou mountaineous for the first 80km - then it got flat, really flat.
After about 40km in the flat I had gone around Foggia. It started to rain and I had to stay at a fuel station for about an hour.
I then continued to a small city about 10 to 15 km from Foggia where locals warned me because on the way to Brindisi there would be much violence and many criminals (Mafia) - maybe they only wanted to scare me a bit.
I continued to cycle into the night and found a dry place in a flooded area in a train station - but there were so many mosquitos that I left at 2:30am and cycled another 120km until I arrived in Bari in the morning at 9am or so. So the total distance in 24 hours was about 282km with about 1300 meters in altitude.

I found a ferry company and bought a ticket to Igoumenitsa, Greece for a ferry which left at 5pm. I got on the ferry at 2:30pm, found a shower where I cleaned not only me but also my waterproof bags and my clothes. On the ferry I met people from the USA, Greece and Germany.
