PEC's the place for nice scenery, bucolic surrounds, a winery every kilometre (one source says there are more than 40), or a cidery (around five), or a brewery (maybe ten), or a distillery (one).
And galleries. The local tourism site effortlessly lists twenty-five.
And restaurants. There are at least thirty to try before you die.
You get the picture. To do PEC, you get in a car, drive all day, and stop every five to fifteen minutes or so to eat or drink or look or shop. A designated driver is highly recommended.
For Kim's birthday, we tried one restaurant, three galleries, a cidery and the distillery, Kinsip, where you come for the weak-flavoured spirits but stay for the funny-looking rooster.

| That's a Padovana chicken, which may be a relation of the Polish chicken, and whose images started appearing in local artwork around the 15th century in the Padova region in Italy. |
Obviously, we barely scratched the surface of everything there is to do in PEC on a birthday.
Which is why, in about a month or so, we will be back, in numbers, to celebrate three birthdays over three days.
I'll let you know how the old folks do.
Thanks for reading!
Have a great week!
