Amalfi to Puglia

Our day started really well with a driver on time to transfer us to the Salerno train station. We left in plenty of time as he wasn't sure of delays on the way. As it turned out we had heaps of time to spare so we found our platform and waited. Eventually our train arrived and then departed again leaving its passengers on the platform. It was all very confusing as a guard had stopped everyone from boarding.There were a number of us standing there in shock wondering what was going on. So we went to the ticket office to learn there wasn't another train to Taranto only a bus which didn't depart until 11.35am. We all insisted that they pay our bus fare which they did when they realised there were a few of us. An hour and a half later we were busing our way to Taranto. It turned out to be an enjoyable comfortable scenic drive.The concern was that we were meeting Lyn & Chris and the other 4 in our tour group at 3.30pm at their pickup point in Bari airport and there was no way we could manage that now. We made contact with Lyn and to save holding the tour group up we took a different route and caught another train after the 4hr bus ride that took us to Martina Franca which was only fifteen minutes from our destination in Puglia. 

Sitting at the Teranto train station with an hour to fill in so we taught ourselves how to use the camera timer on the phone.

After our long adventure it was great to see Lyn waiting at the train station to collect us. We were soon settled into our gorgeous little Trulli and then out to meet the rest of the team for drinks and dinner on the patio.
