Yesterday I drove to Termoli, a town on the coast, with a large castle which sits proudly on a promontory overlooking the sea. 
Talking first about the drive to Termoli, about twenty miles from Lucito, where I live I have the choice of several roads. The most exciting is the road that wends it's way down the hill from Castelbottacio to the main road. It is a little rough in places, something you get used to here. Many of the roads are rather neglected, and in places is quite a challenge to navigate around the bumps and potholes, but this all adds to the fun of course!
I will write my next blog just about roads but don't want to put you off coming here.
The road down from the village provides yet another opportunity to see the most incredible views across the valley. It is just one of the many places here that literally makes my heart sing, and I cannot resist popping in a link to this song by the Trogs
As you navigate every bend in the road you are met by astounding views that will never cease to take your breath away. I like many have taken photos and videos of the hills, mountains and valleys which stretch out into the distance but none seem to really do them the justice they deserve.
As you can see from the view on the Sat Nav.. the roads really are great fun.
One of the other great things about the roads here too are that they are so quiet, there is rarely much traffic. Most of the time, in fact, there is virtually none at all. You can drive for miles and miles and miles without seeing anyone. Most of the commercial traffic keeps to the main roads so if you are prepared for a bit of an adventure you can navigate your way across the country on all kinds of roads and by ways ...
The public transport links between the cities too are excellent. There is a local bus which trundles along the road below my house three times a day. Apart from that, there are probably no more than ten cars go by each day.
There are also frequent buses to Rome, and Pescara from either Termoli or Campobasso, the nearest cities to me, which are very comfortable, clean and reasonably priced too.
Trains too are an option if you like that mode of transport and of course, the views along routes anywhere across both the Molise region and beyond are stunning.
I have been reduced to tears on many occasions here in Molise, which is why I have fallen in love with the area.
Views like this of a small chapel called Santa Guista, about a forty minute walk from where I live. I must have been there a hundred times now, and have never seen anyone else there. It is a little piece of heaven tucked away on a Molise mountain top which I would love to share with you.
