Gallipoli National Park

3:00 and it is typical for the "boys" to sit outside the coffee shop or "Bar" and play cards.
Gallipoli Park has a huge river running through the centre......just no water! The white is river rock.
"Fly Like an Angel" , is the name of this zip line which connects the villages of Pietrapertosa and Castelmezzano. We were a few days before opening and one of us would have loved to cross the 400 mitres above ground.Guess who? ( Il Vito Dell'Angelo )
The two villages are connected also by a very winding road.
Missanella sits at the top of the hill with the castle centre of the village. Most places are built this way with only courts yards inside the walls. No lawns to cut!!!
Metaponte also shows the Roman Ruins as they are working to restore the area of the theatre and Temples .
