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.
