Sicily/Locri/Sorrento

From Solarino we drove up the coast and had lunch in the beautiful little town of Taormina.
We drove from there back up to Messina, where we caught the car ferry back over to the mainland. We found a little spot called Locri, right on the southern coastline, and camped right on the beach. The beach was gorgeous, and we had a nice refreshing swim in the crystal clear water before dinner. 
The caravan park was infested with mosquitoes, but that just meant we ate dinner on the beach and watched a beautiful sunset.
I managed to have another swim first thing in the morning before we began to make our way north.

We stayed in an area just outside Sorrento, in a hotel room with a balcony that overlooked the city, the ocean and Mt. Vesuvius. It was beautiful. We had pizza and sat and read on the balcony until we ran out of light. 


We had hoped to stay around Florence the next night, but even the camping areas were a little out of our price range. So we found a place about an hour away in Bologna.
It was a saga trying to anything for dinner. When we finally found a supermarket they didn’t take card, so we had to scrounge up every coin we had to buy some bolognese sauce, and then cook it in our room.
