From May17th to May 21st, we entered the regions of Campania and Basilicata, rode both inland and along the Tyrrhenian Coast, saw ancient ruins in both Paestum and Pompeii, got a taste of vibrant Naples life, and visited Teano, a town with historical significance in Italy's history of unification.

| Hopping on train to Pompeii (some of us chose this as an alternative to cycling up the long hill out of the Amalfi coast). |
