Upon leaving San Felice I had Anna drop me off in the nearby seaside town of Agropoli. I could tell she was a little worried since I didn't seem to know where I was going or staying. I was worried too (especially since the one hostel in the entire town was closed for the season) but I wasn't going to let her know that. Instead I had her drop me off along the seaside where I knew from my brief phone book research that there were a number of B&B's and small hotels. I quickly discovered that Agropoli was down for the tourist season and things would be too expensive for me but the nice man at the hotel gave me a glass of wine and let me use the internet so I could take an hour and get myself sorted out. Then I hid my stuff in the bar and went out to explore the town before taking a bus north to Salerno. Here's what I found:
A better shot of the old town over the water.
The beachfront with a view of the old town and castle on the hill.
A memorial to those who served in the war in Iraq.
A very long and steep street leading to the old town.
Old church
The locks on the railing is something Italian kids got from a movie. So now young couples write their names on a lock and place it on a bridge railing, or in this case on the railing of the overlook.
