Mainland ho!
... and I mean NARROW, streets with 25% uphill slopes through now sleepy villages. I’m sure the locals were confused and amused by a band of wayward motorcyclists roaring through their narrow village streets which were not wide enough for even the smallest of European cars. We made it to the hotel just in time to change for dinner and joined the rest of the riders. Lots of stories to share about finding the misguided hotel. Especially in the ...
Tropea - back on the main land
... anything that includes red onion. It was very sweet and tasty, so I guess they have a right to boast. Our fist dinner was a record low at 24euros (2 pizzas, 2 drinks, water, dessert), a popular pizza restaurant where we had to queue to get in - no wonder, at those prices!

My Journey Home
... Every seat was full I think. It's a national holiday here so that might have something to do with it. Luckily, it's the high speed train and it only takes just over an hour to get to Rome. That was train 2. I need to catch the train to the airport which runs every hour. That was Train 3. The airport in Rome is strange for check in.
