A very short ride today on a very scenic coastal road S145,many rock mountains standing close to the sea,in between is the narrow road that certainly not easy to build. With such a beautiful settings, no wonder this place is full of tourists and this make the traffic very heavy with cars and tour buses parking at the sides,but it did not bother me at all as i am quite used to riding on busy roads,whats more on such a scenic road,i am stopping frequently clicking my camera to capture all the stunning pictures.There are some steep but usually short climbs to tackle whenever the rock cliff is too close to the sea,and to build a road is downright impossible,so the road had to build inland and then down to join the sea again.Overlooking from the downhill,is the beautiful view of Gulf of Sorrento,there are many pricey hotels and restaurants,i was testing the price at one of the camping ground,15 euro..humm.. not very expensive but not cheap either.I am fully prepared for wild camping today,so rather safe that for some other days when its really necessary.I had to admit that today is really a wonderful day for me,not only i enjoy so much on the beautiful scenaries but also a beautiful campsite which is really hard to resist.This campsite is located on a little hill at one of the sharp corners, and i had to push my bike up for about 20 meters to reach the flat ground,shady with pine trees and a nice view over the blue sea.
