Day 58 – Villa Julia and Vesuvius
Post Views: 50 Today we’ve got a short hop from just north of Amalfi to up to Pompei. We also need to do some shopping and possibly even fit another visit in while we’re at it (turned out to be Vesuvius). As we left the site we were just at the wrong time for the…

Day 57 – Amalfi and Positano
Post Views: 44 Well, that was a bit of a crazy day! Nine hours out and about… getting to Amalfi on the bus, ferry to Positano, Positano, ferry back to Amalfi, Amalfi and the bonkers bus back to the campsite. It was a bit of an early start that we needed to get on the…

Day 56 – Paestum and travel to Amalfi
Post Views: 41 So… this was one of the days I’d been looking forward to. We’d visited Paestum in 2019, and if we were going to be in the area again then it’s somewhere I wouldn’t want to miss. The morning started with a cacophony though! Cockerels from 6:30 and church bells from about 7:30.…

Day 55 – Matera and travel to Paestum
Post Views: 53 It’s another (mostly) travel day today. We’re leaving the fabulous town of Matera and heading for Greek Paestum. But first we had to check out the “other” view of Matera, from the other side of the valley looking back at the town. We couldn’t check out of the campsite until 9:30 (probably…

Day 54 – Matera
Post Views: 47 Well… it’s another one of those WOW! days. You can see why Matera got used in the latest No Time To Die, Bond film. It was a reasonably leisurely start as we opted to take one of the two complimentary shuttles into town from the campsite. Which dropped us off at the…

Day 53 – Gallipoli to Matera
Post Views: 47 Another travel day… the relentless pull of the road never ceases! Not much to report today, and the Dashcam was playing silly buggers (needed the SD card reformatting) and so there’s not much from there either. Camping Torre Sabea was a nice little site. Very tired, quirky, but we enjoyed it. Sue…

Day 52 – Gallipoli
Post Views: 41 After making our way yesterday from Brindisi to just outside Gallipoli, through Lecce, we were destined to head into Gallipoli today. It was a sunny start to the day, but way too early. We’re right next to the loos at this site and the cleaners were chatting loudly to each other and…

Day 51 – Lecce
Post Views: 45 If you’ve been following along so far then you’ll know we started today on the outskirts of Brindisi, being woken by the dogs that sent us to sleep last night. We have 2449 km on the SatNav to get us home. But today we’re going to be heading away from that route…

Day 50 – Goodbye Greece, hello Italy
Post Views: 42 We had a 2PM ferry from Igoumenitsa to Brindisi today, so we were afforded another leisurely start. And of course what better way to start than a long chat with Helen and Jeremy. That’s when we found out their van had been flooded in the port they had left the boat in.…

Day 49 – Igoumenitsa and the Parrot Sketch
Post Views: 40 End of the seventh week and it’s another travel day. After 10 days on Corfu (thoughts on Corfu at the end), we’re on the homeward stretch now. It was an early start for Phil and Linda with a 5:45 taxi to Corfu airport. They had two flights today, one to Athens and…
