Today we climbed aboard a bus and took the coastal road to Amalfi...what a hair raising trip. These roads are so narrow and there are so many switchbacks it took us 1 hour to go 17 Km (a little over 10 miles)...yes that’s 10mph! Ahhh but the views are awesome. If the bus windows hadn’t been so dirty I could have shot 300 pictures in that 10 miles. Everything is so vivid...the color of the water in places is emerald, the sky is deep blue, the clouds are bright white and the greens on the mountain are every shade imaginable.
We got off at the last stop which is this wonderful square that doubles as a bus station...the place is in chaos, there is so much life and excitement it is thrilling. This place is actually alive. I mean with all the people and cars and talking and walking and waving and the birds and boats and motorscooters and old men fishing and strolling and everybody eating and drinking and chatting and laughing...WOW. This was a most Excellent Day.
On the way home we had all the High School students on the bus with us...very interesting. So much overload for us...remember we just spent 2 months in Alviano...quiet, tame, slow motion Alviano. We need to pick it up if this is the real pace of life, today all we could do was stare. We’ll practice again tomorrow when we drive to Sorrento and catch the bus to Capri.
