We are now on the last section of our Italy trip. We are returning to Milano where we will leave Matilda while we return home. We are moving fairly quickly now, but we cannot miss the renowned Amalfi Coast.
However Joe has been spooked a little by his reading of other travellers to this Coast. He wants to travel northwards because he is concerned about how steep and narrow these roads are! He wants to be on the inland side of the drop-off! This may have been a mistake, for, as you will see from the videos on the Facebook page, most of the traffic (busses) goes from north to South so has to be met (passed) if we are going northwards. In addition the views are best seen from close to the sea - and the stopping places are designed for vehicles travelling southwards. So our recommendation is to do the Coast from North to South (west to east).
This Coast however is quite spectacular and quite do-able even for a vehicle like ours.
I'll let the pictures talk -but I have so many beautiful photos I don't know how to choose....
There are ceramic art places all along this Coast. This table-top is glazed onto granite! It is quite beautiful and indestructible. I'd love to have one at home.
Many of the cliff side hotels have small entrances like this on street level, with a lift down to the hotel itself.
And check out the bloke in the back -giving us the thumbs-up! We get a lot of this as we go along -people like Matilda!
