Early morning start for 0700 flight to Naples. (We had 2 days in UK to get over jetlag and buy shoes!)
Easy flight and arrived to sunshine. Met our driver who took us to our first stop, Minori, on the Czytaj więcej

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 road Czytaj więcej

Hung out the washing and hoped for sunshine. Off to Ravello which meant two buses, lots of hairpin bends. Almost 1.5 hrs in Amalfi for connection but a beautiful day and a lot more locals and tourists Czytaj więcej

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]
Podróżnik Beautiful! Looks like an easy place to get used to 😊
Podróżnik Yes, quite easy. Not as adventurous as you Pauline!
Just a small G&T then 😜x [Val]
