Day 59 – Pompei and Dan Snow
Day 59 of the “where’s my…” tour. Blimey, where’s all that time gone?! We’re calling it the “where’s my..” tour because we’ll both be exclaiming, multiple times a day, “where’s my” such and such as we panic about glasses, debit cards, passports, van key, etc etc etc. To date though, its just me that’s managed…

Day 58 – Villa Julia and Vesuvius
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 bus… I.e. we…

Day 57 – Amalfi and Positano
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 8:50 bus from…

Day 56 – Paestum and travel to Amalfi
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. At one point…

Day 55 – Matera and travel to Paestum
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 should have checked…

Day 54 – Matera
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 end of the…

Day 53 – Gallipoli to Matera
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 didn’t enjoy her…

Day 52 – Gallipoli
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 even having phone…

Day 51 – Lecce
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 and heading south.…

Day 50 – Goodbye Greece, hello Italy
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. Hopefully I shall…
