BUMPY

Italy is sometimes famous for being quite bumpy. In the case of the amalfitan coast this is more than true! To take an example: In Amalfi if you want to take a bus to reach your hotel  you may ask a carabinieri how to do it and he says « You will find on that place ( crowded) a man in green. He is selling the tickets! » Indeed after a while we found a man with something green on him and people queing up in the street to buy tickets. Then you wait at the bus stop where all the bus indicate as destination Amalfi ( the place where you are) then you need to ask the driver or somebody who knows to find your bus! 

OVER TOURISM Positano was the worst! In the small streets going down to the port and the small beach you have thousands of people who are there just for a few hours. They come with Pullman and leave after a short tour of the city. Bars and restaurants are quite empty and hotels are not that numerous. At night everything is much calmer ! 

GREEN

Arriving from Naples and going to Ravello you go up in the moutains which are beautiful and so green Going down to Ravello and discovering the vue of the sea in contrast with all that green is SPECTACULAR ​

​

NARROW ROADS

​

Driving along the coast is something of an exercise. The roads are very narrow and the motorbikes want absolutely to go without losing a second. You need to drive carefully along the coast which is BEAUTIFUL 

 

I can only name the places and say that they are all so BEAUTIFUL: Ravello Maiori Vietri sul Mare Amalfi Positano Sorrente ( to a less extent) are so pleasant to see and visit. The VIEWS are impressive everywhere. I don’t know what I preferred but I will always remember the DAWN in Amalfi : The light blue of the see, the pink of the clouds, the grey blue of the sky! 

 

Everything is beautiful and I remember having been there 25 years ago when it was much less crowded. I can only regret that over tourism is spoiling those places which are anyhow worth to visit​
