Naples and onwards. Day 2.

Good sleep after the fireworks, but I decided to ask for the shuttle to the train station for 10.00 instead of 11.00. I waited outside and wondered if the large lady in small car, already with 3 passengers, was my shuttle taxi. She was sounding her horn loudly as she passed straight by, but she soon re appeared on the other side of the road and signalled me to get in. The other young people in the taxi were from Germany and off to Sorento. As we drove along the driver was typing on her phone, which she soon showed me. “How old are you? ” 67. “Hmm you wear it well” came back the next message. “I am 63”. So now the whole car knows how old I am cos the guy sitting behind was reading the messages! “Wow “he says “your 67”. So she drops us up the road from the station and we trundle on with our suitcases the last 100 meters. I work out the platform we will need for the onward jouney and where we buy the tickets and go get some breakfast. Tina makes good time and I meet her off the bus. We are soon on the train to Castellamarre de Sabia, entertainment laid on.

Another noisy journey. 2 guys got on to entertain us with an accordion and lots of noise.

Castellammare de Sabia was a quiet seaside town with a magnificent band stand and excellent gelateria, patriotic seats and sympathetic to thirsty dogs!

The bus dragged itself up the mountain, sounding his horn as he rounded the hair pin bends.

We arrived in Agreola about 40 minutes later and luckily got off the bus a minutes walk from our accommodation. More messing with key safes and we were in. Lovely clean, tidy, modern apartment. We took off to look for some goodies for breakfast then found a restaurant less than a minute from the apartment. Pizza and risotto a glass of wine and all is well. We have bus tickets for tomorrow and the bakery downstairs opens at 6.30 which will be great when we go get out bread about 8.30. The plan is to do “The walk of the gods”.

Bus timetable. Local shop for breakfast goodies. Pizza oven in our local.
