Italy - 2021 - (Life in Bomba)


Pre-Departure - Tullamarine sans Crowds

13 Feb 2021 101
Thanks to Peter for bringing us to the airport and seeing us off. Tulla was practically abandoned. Normally, this area of departures is wall-to-wall crowds seeing off loved ones. Aside from the fact that we were pushing our luggage limits to the max, causing a longer check in than normal, we went from counter to lounge in minutes. A row each in economy.

We are over Italy, and in fact, just about flying over our new home in Abruzzo. We gave a little wave from the window to the spot we thought could be Bomba. Some ours before we would be there, but still felt so close.

We have no idea of the story behind this. Truth be known, the story behind the whole house is rather vague.

The Main Way in to Old Bomba

Through the arch, and down a bit, that's the way to our house. Poor snowed in plants.

Side View

The side view from our place. I cannot help but wonder how secure the tiles perched atop the chimney are.
