13th September

Lucinda left her glasses at the restaurant last night so we went searching for them this morning. We then threaded our way through the narrow alleyways of the old town to reach the castle. The outer walls were more or less intact as was a chapel with frescoes. The views over the old town were spectacular with tiny coloured houses tumbling close-packed down the hill to the river. In the distance the white of sails signalled Sunday races taking place off the river mouth. We went for lunch at a Pizzeria which didn't sell pizzas at lunchtime. We set off back north in light winds which, as predicted, increased so we managed to sail most of the way. We planned to anchor for the night but decided it might be more comfortable in harbour. We should be able to stay for free on the public quay. Last time they got me to pay. Let's see what happens tonight.
