The first thing we noticed after waking up on the beach was that we had sand EVERYWHERE! The wind had blown all night, and although the tarp had kept the rain out, it didn't stop the sand. It was in sleeping bags, pajamas, hair, ears, teeth--and I was still finding it in the laundry a week later.
The second thing we noticed was that there was a big, beautiful, blue ocean just wanting to be played in...
But, in your PJs is probably not a great idea...
....now that's better!
The next thing we noticed, is that the big, beautiful, blue ocean is.... cold! But what a fun way to spend a morning!
After packing up, and brushing ourselves off as best we could, we headed north again--just to see what we could see. We stopped in Scalea for a picnic breakfast.
A little further up the coast, we stopped in a town called Aquafredda (which Chuck said means "cold water"--this time we just took their word for it and didn't get in). We took a little hike from the town up the hill to a statue of Maria and a beautiful view of the ocean.
We had a beautiful ride along the coast...
....but later in the day it started raining. Since our goal was to visit Pompeii the next morning, we found a bungalow (fancy word meaning scary, smelly, marginally clean shack with four walls, a roof, indoor plumbing, and--insert hallelujah here!--hot water) not far from Pompeii. I, for one, slept well (and no one woke up with sand in their ears, either!)
