Salerno and Paestum

Cappuccino and sweet pastry in a cafe on the lungomare then the magnificent duomo. Helped some old lost Tennesse folk from a cruise ship find it so they lit a candle for me. Duomo was full of mosaics and the crypt was heavily frescoed. In the very lowest level are the roman ruins of the original temple. Saw the medieval aqueduct, then train to Paestum. Three ancient greek temples on a flat plain with steep rocky cliffs behind surrounded by pommegranite and fruit/ vege farms. Uniquely you are still able to walk into two of these temples. Met a real Australian archaeologist working at Taquinia.
Train back through farmland with acres of plastic greenhouses round Montecortine.Les mer
