... of tourists but they weren't all dressed in black and gold and silver - it was families and couples and young people, the buildings were charming but had seen lots of wear and tear, and there were a whole lot of new taste sensations - the famous red onion of Tropea, 'nduia, a type of spreadable paste made from salami, and hot chillies everywhere.

Stopped at a fruit shop to buy a nectarine and the guy was so surprised I only wanted one so he gave it to me for free! We got to the train station and waited.... and waited..... and no train.
