Day 50 Terrachina - 17.9.05 

Everything comes at a price and sometimes the price is more than worth it. We decided to sacrifice 2 days riding for our last chance to spend time with Hilary and Kate in Europe. We rode an easy 20 km to the nearest train station past a calm reflective lake ringed by vineyards. Took the train to Pompei and did a 2 hour walk around the ruins. We then rode to Sorrento. Hilary and Kate were booked into a hostel but it was full so we checked in to the best camp site I have ever seen in a cabin overlooking the sea. The plan was to spend 2 relaxing days with wife and daughter.

Stats Dist 61 Km, Average 15km/hr, Max 42km/hr, Climb 270 

Day 51 Sorento - 18.9.05 

More relaxing around. Tourist season is over in the rest of Europe but this place is packed. Traffic jams everywhere but no ones in a rush so its no big deal. Highlights - Lemon grove hundreds of years old, peaceful. lots of food, meeting other tourists, fireworks at night and brother and sister hit town together while oldies sip capuccino and watch the parade of the promenade.

Stats 4 Ice Creams, 3 Waffles, 6 Pastas, 3 Kebabs and a bottle of Vino
