May 12th punta to Scicli

Sad farewell to the best campsite and our toilet and them lovely bread man and the efficient host. Hot,hot day today and humid with a haze to the light. New tyre purchased in Santo Croce then on to scicli. What a stunning town. A UNESCO site for very good reasons. Whilst eating our lunch we heard a passing Italian telling some English speaking women that filming was taking place at the town hall that doubles as montalbanos police station!!!!! Then came the most surreal 2hrs. We managed to see the main characters and got pictures with them!!!! Chatted to a lovely couple, the female one saying that last time she had done anything like this was when the Beatles were filming hard days night! We then felt the only way to end this fab day was to stay in sicli, at cada de montalbano. A lovely apartment. Then we brushed up and had a meal out for the first time since the Dordogne. An excellent day!!!

May 12th sicli to simeria

Another hazy day. Short cycle down to the coast. Tired today after the antics of the previous day. Campsite OK but not a patch on our previous campsite. Early night called for to recover.
