Immediately after lunch on Thursday, we set off for Salerno to see

the Christmas lights - yes, I know they wouldn't be on
when we arrived at about 3pm, but when we
last went on New Year's Eve's Eve 2011,
it took us over 2 hours to get there & another
45 minutes to find somewhere to park.
So we thought we'd go while there was less traffic
about, grab a coffee once we'd parked up & then
wander round the Centro Storico to take some
'before' pics until dusk settled.

The theme of the lights is Il Giardino Incantato, & when they are
switched on, it truly is enchanting.....

How pretty. Sad to say, much better than Milan!
ReplyDeleteNice to know the 'poor south' can outdo the affluent north occasionally!
