Horse and Buggy Rides at the old port on Crete
The buffalo at the mozzarella cheese farm
Well, we took the ferry across the Straits of Messina from Sicily to mainland Italy. It only took about 30 minutes as it is very close. From there, we hopped on the autostrada and headed north. Found a quaint fishing village on the Med with a room on the beach.
Today, Sunday, we drove north planning on ending the day near Naples. This is a holiday weekend in Italy and the traffic was horrendous. So we diverted to Paestem, the Grecian ruins south of Naples. It is raining. Everyone is leaving here and heading home. So it is quiet.
The treat today was eating at a small, country trattoria. We were served an antipasta plate with several types of cheeses, all made from buffalo milk. The buffalo were right outside the door to prove it! I took photos but could not download them on the hotel computer.
Tomorrow, we will head for the Amalfi coast and the Roman ruins of Pompei.
