Salerno

Anecdote

Our final stop is Salerno.

It was 33C in the shade at 9:30am, so we didn't spend as much time walking aorund as we'd have liked. There was a paucity of ice cream shops, too, which also prompted a speedy return to the ship. Still, we managed to find a cathedral, a monastery church and a museum to look around for a mere €10. There was some kind of chanting going on the the cathedral crypt; I think they may use the building for religious purposes.

Salerno is one of those Italian cities that has an old town with narrow streets and small, twee shops selling things that other peope want to buy. It could be Sorrento, Belaggio, Santa Margarita, Sirmione — they all blur ito one eventually. Fortunately, I like the one into which they blur, so I'm happy to be here. Oh, and it's somewhat cleaner than its Marseille equivalent, which is a boon.



I tried to upload yesterday's post just now but the Internet is having none of it. I guess it's something to do with this worldwide outage. I hope said outage doesn't affect the ship's guidenace systems, or we'll be stuck here another day and miss our flight back tomorrow. That's if there are any flights tomorrow, of course.

I guess I'll be uploading this post from the comfort of Rome airport, too. We arrive at something like 10:30 for a flight at 18:30. That'll be a nice, relaxing day....
