The third city we visited was Pilignano a Mare which is a very old city perched on top a 20 meter high limestone cliff which overlooks the beautiful Adriatic Sea. It is famous for cliff diving, right from the spot I am standing at as I took this picture. The famous Red Bull diving competitions have been held here. The town is also famous for the song writer whose name I have forgotten, but he wrote and sang, Volare, which is a very popular Italian song. The town dates back to the 4th century BC and was founded by the Greeks and named Neapolis. We had a beautiful time walking up and down the narrow picture perfect streets and looking out at the sea from several terraces.

We had such a beautiful day with Hectore and Gabriele who were so kind as to take us to see these fantastic places. They were our friends from the minute we met them.
