Italy: The Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast: March 31 - April 14, 2017
The Amalfi Coast is gorgeous and, therefore, famous. Since Roman times. We left Arpino by car and made it to Salerno, a seaside town just below Naples, in time for lunch. From there we traveled by boat headed for Positano. Except that we had to land at another town because of rough seas. A bus took us up the curvy highway with breathtaking views of the Tyrrhenian Sea, a good distraction from the nail-biting driving along the narrow roadway.
Positano, built up along the mountainside, is such an attractive and vibrant town that provides incredible views of the royal blue sea. Couldn't get enough of that! Walking up to our hotel and down to the beach surrounded by restaurants, shops and other entertainment was a daily routine and great exercise.
On one day we took a boat trip to Capri. How can you be close and not visit the crown jewel of the Amalfi Coast? I had cousins there and had never met; so, that added a measure of excitement and all around rich experience.
