Amalfi Coast

One of the many cities and/or villages along the Amalfi Coast.

If you thought US 1 down the California coast was something, be prepared to be blown away by the Amalfi coast. Zipped south to the wrong end of Amalfi on the Autostrade and drove back up SE to NW to Sorrento. Unbelievable villages seeming to slide down the hills to the sea. A road that isn't merely a marvel of construction, it's a miracle! Stunning views at every turn and the usual platoons of kamikaze drivers. Stopped when we could and finally wound through Sorrento to catch the ferry for Capri. Fifty Euros later, car and passengers were unloaded in Capri Town (only cars owned by residents or foreigners can go to the island, no Italians). Cute as it may be, there is simply no provision made for cars. Try as I might, I couldn't find the way out of town, nor even a parking spot (though one guy would let us in if we left our keys. No thanks.). To the eternal disappointment of Reggie, we caught the ferry to Naples and the Autostrade to Pompei. I'll never live down the fact that we went to Capri and didn't stay.
