Pompeii seems like a very interesting place to have ignored, we were going there but we now have no confirmed ferry to Corfu so we decided to drive down towards Brindisi in case a ferry becomes available. We found a little site by the seaside and thought a bit of rest and sunbathing would be in order. The seaside was rocky and I fell over three times on the rocks because the seaweed was invisible and they were slippery, this happened in slow motion and the people in the sea were most amused, the whole of my back was covered in brown sludge, I got some disgusted looks on my walk back but I couldn’t tell anyone it was seaweed.
The village was gorgeous, azure sea and little boats, it was a walled town that looked like every architect from 1600 to 1950 had had a go at designing a house, the whole effect worked and it was really pretty.
We moved on after two nights owing to the crappy seaside and are now in Alberobello a little further down the coast.
