Tues.6th.Dec.
Finally dragged ourselves away from the comfort and security of Diamante today. Drove down the coast road, the SS18 with the intention of finding somewhere in Pizzo to spend the night. The scenery was dramatic, on the right side a wild sea spraying salt across the road and on the left farmland rolling up to mountains shrouded in grey, almost black stormclouds. The wind and rain made it a less than comfortable drive. We shopped at a large Spa supermarket shortly after leaving Diamante and to our annoyance found a Lidls, 50Ks down the road. Familiar cereals and crispbread at last. Not to mention €5 bottles of whisky!! Stocked up on essentials. Arrived in Pizzo around 3pm and found nowhere to stay. Had to go on to Vibo Valentia where we are parked in the marina. Very pleasant, must get to Pizzo tomorrow though, special Gelato town. Jan can't miss it. Full report tomorrow.
