Exploring San Terenzo

Breakfast by the beach. A quiet location despite its proximity to the main thoroughfare through town. Located on the waterfront road it allowed us views of the Mediterranean and the locals making their way to work or to the beach. I tried several of my 50 word, Italian vocabulary to successfully order breakfast. Nourished we stretched our legs to explore more of the immediate waterfront. The historical connection with famous poets was revealed as we walked around the point and strolled at a most leisurely pace. Stephen explained its past links with poets like Shelley and Byron. The walk follows the base of steep crumbling cliffs of ancient lava flows. Flows so old that they are now crumbling and in many parts made safe by giant nets and ropes.
