Policastro Bussentino (Sunday)

Relieved to get away from Casavelino, memorable for a lone night in a hotel which was technically shut, the days of serious climbing started.

At times pushing loaded bike up impossible gradients one continuous climb involved a 500+ meter ascent at very steep gradients. The scenery competing with the Amalfi coastline at times but less known. An unusual German couple, one driving a camping van and the other a motorbike stopped to chat. Other people were travelling with odd arrangements. Cool!

Policastro Bussentimo was convenient for a stopover but had not much else to offer. The apartment was like many Italian places which look poorly maintained outside but beautifully fitted out inside.
