"La Bella Italia" Stage 12 Paestum - Pompeii

This was definitely a "WOW!" day on the bike. This section of the western Italian coast has many picturesque towns and villages perched on the rugged rocky coastline. We encountered plenty of weather along the way, but managed to get to our campgrounds "Camping Etna" in one piece.

The climb up and over the peninsula at Gragnano proved challenging as it was nearing the end of a tiring days riding. Welcome coffee stop at the top of the climb allowed us a little bit of recovery. Negotiating the roads into Pompeii also tested or navigation skills! Garmin Connect link LBI Stage 12 Paestum - Pompeii
