Got to grips with the coffee maker - well, sort of! Definitely a forerunner of today's models.
Set off on foot to explore neighbouring Maiori. This involves hugging the edge of a very narrow roadBaca lagi

Bus adventures! Missed the first as we had no ticket. An hour for the next one so purchased tickets at Tabacchi then went for coffee and cake. Good choice.
Opted to get to bus stop 20 mins early.Baca lagi
Pengembara Most of my travel missteps and frustration involve transportation! Sounds like it worked out well. Another beautiful town

Loved the photos of the wedding Julie! What a wonderful trip you are having - photos show it so well - amazing places people living on steep cliffs! Sorry you had a sore throat and hope you're better now. My niece and husband were in Rome for the rugby match - they said it was so entertaining with bagpipes and kilts and LOTS of noise!! Wonder where you are now? You should do a Rick Steves series on Italy when you get back!! Love Helen [Helen Fox]
Pengembara Beautiful! Looks like an easy place to get used to 😊
Pengembara Yes, quite easy. Not as adventurous as you Pauline!
Just a small G&T then 😜x [Val]
