We got the car at Palermo Airport . Then we proceeded to drive to Masseria La Chuisa which is not really remote as it is a 45 minutes drive from Palermo .The lady at the rental car company was very cheerful haha . She asked me how far is Malaysia . After saying how many hours I flew, she concluded that it is nearer from Italy to fly to USA hahaha . Then we drove to the Masseria ( this is usually a fortified  large farmhouse / manor /) ,drove  into a wrong road. The road was awful but managed to arrive haha

This is an old Masseria which is has been 500 years old . It is in the San Jato Valley . The hills are limestone hills and its still a working farm. The limestone hills are greyish/whitish  which are different from the limestone at Bukut Takun because of the climate . Mediterrean climate is dryer and as a result vegetation is sparse. While limestone in tropical  climate is lush with vegetation and therefore color of the limestone is different which is dark grey and full of vegetation . I can reconize the limestone, just the color is different here .

The view above is from our verandah so its quite a view .

I wanted to buy the farm’s olive oil but alas, they only got 5 litre tins ( which I would love to buy ) but the logistics of lugging 5 litre is beyond me !

Jannet got bitten by bed bugs so we had to change the unit from a 2 bedroom unit with kitchen to a smaller unit . It was a bit cramped this smaller unit but no bed bugs . Not sure how the bed bugs got into that bigger unit. Jannet still unwell so we took it easy today which is really fine with me . The masseria offers breakfast ( everything is home made ) . Dinner is offered too but we only had one dinner because they served pork last night’s dinner .

We all pretty tired so we cooked dinner by using the oven with the fish we brought . Haha. That ends another day .
