A nice warm day, all blue skies and temperature in the high 20's. There are flowering bushes all along the autostrade in most parts of Italy
I think these bushes are there to keep those crazy italian drivers focused on the road.
We arrived in Salerno around noon and checked into our hotel, right across the road from the sea.
Headed across to a ristorante for lunch. We were right on the water that included a large beach just full of folks in the water or soaking up the sun.
We were mulling over the menu (all in Italian of course) and the waitress, who speaks a couple of english words, checked to see if we were ready to order. We asked about a couple of dishes, but were advised they were all meat. (one veal and the other pork). We told her we wanted pasta with meat, so she pointed those out and we ordered.
The pasta was excellent and as we were nearing asking for the bill, our meat dishes arrived!!!
Apparently we had ordered both the pasta and the meat dishes.
Dinner will be on the light side tonight.
After checking our room, with 2 balconies overlooking the sea, we headed out for a walk and, of course, a gelato.
A little further down the coast we found a lounge with a sea view. We stopped for a wine and beer and a photo
We sat out on the side balcony and looked at the many apartments that fill up the landscape.
We headed out walking along the coast and ended at a lovely pizzeria where we had, you guessed it, pizza and a bottle of wine. The decor was really nice, black, grey and red. And the chairs were so comfortable.
Back to the hotel to sit out and watch the traffic of cars and people pass by.
Tomorrow we are off to Latina, a town about 100 kilometres south of Roma.
