Saturday 20   September

Still raining so in between showers we packed tent and set off via Autostrada (don’t know why AA don’t mention this route) Saleno and Potenza.

Took sorter route to Scanzano on sea and found to our delight a superb motorway not marked on any map running right to the coast. Just short of Tarranto we both decided that it was crazy staying in Italy if this rain continued, so we would drive to Brindisi, catch the boat two days early and arrive in sunny Greece with days to spare.



This we did, arriving in Brindisi at 5 with the boat going at 10.00. Changed tickets without trouble (boat was half empty and other lines go the same way) and walked around the town – went into supermarket to restock with margarine, biscuits and cheese and set off for a pizza.

The best one without doubt is 3 turning up on the left and the first shop down the side alley. (This is from the grass square on the sea front)(It may not be open now!).

Here a fat man takes order and then you wait while your cheese, sausage plus “various extras” pizza is cooked. We had a total of 3 pizzas and 1½ litres of wine and the bill came to 1400 lire (including tip). Not bad. Got onto boat a little merry, found sleeperette and settled down for the night.
