Visited Filadelfia but not being market day it was a bit dull, so went on to Catanzaro. This is a large city balanced on the top of 2 peaks. I knew I was in trouble when there were cars parked on the hard shoulder of the motorway as we approached.

This was the most stressful place I’ve driven so far, one eye on the lookout for potholes, one eye on the chance to overtake the 3 wheeler in front, one eye on the lorry 2 inches from the back bumper who will overtake you and the 3 wheeler if you don’t go for it when he thinks you should, one eye on traffic merging from the right, and all this on a viaduct that’s 3,000 ft above the valley floor.

Had a walk round and went on the funicular. At the bottom is a large peaceful car park near the motorway half empty. I can’t imagine why it wasn’t used more.

The sun was out so we went for a swim just as the clouds came over.

And went back to the square at Pizzo to watch the sunset
