In Maratea

We are staying in a very nice hotel, overlooking the sea and this morning we had a gorgeous view from a rooftop terrace.

Around 10am we left on a ride with our guide, Domenico, just 5 bikes in total but a perfect number for our ride through the mountains behind the coast. The roads were very twisty and often badly broken so it was a challenging ride but great fun as long as you avoided the bumps, fallen chestnuts and gravel. One of our number fell victim to the gravel but fortunately it was only his pride that was hurt - plus a few scratches on the bike of course.

The scenery was magnificent for the most part and I hope to show some when I sort out the video I took. The wifi here is just too slow to do much with it.
