Motoring again along the coast we arrive at Salerno, a larger town which we plan to use as a jumping off point to visit Herculaneum. What has been noticeable in this part of Italy and especially in Salerno is the amount of litter and especially in the sea. The termperatures are searing so I went for a swim in the sea. Becausee the sand is volcanic and dark it is a bit like swimming in Bovril. And lets not talk about the litter floating past. We did find one of the best pizza places to eat in the nice wee back streets. It is quite a jumping place but the marina is very basic. To note basic does not mean cheap. It had a shower and wc but only a photograph could capture the austerity of the facilitites.
