Mainland ho!
... east coast of the mainland and then northwest to Tropea where we are staying tonight. The roads today were much more like what I was expecting from having been on the moto tour of the Tuscany region of Italy: narrow hairpin turns whilst climbing the hillsides leading to gradual sweepers to entertain you before the next set of hairpin turns. And why is there always a large delivery truck belching diesel fumes headed towards you on the other side ...
Tropea - back on the main land
... talking (slowly) in Italian, as they didn't speak English, but they were patient and when we got stuck they loaded up Google Translator (which by the way doesn't translate correctly). As I was in dire need, they even drove me to the hairdressers, where I got my hair cut for 25euros - bargain!

By 9:30 my cousin came to get me and drive me to the Lamezia Train station. That was train 1. I made it to Naples but I was 2 minutes late for my connecting train to Rome so I waited in line for a new ticket. There were so many people at this train station and most of them were waiting for ...
