      Dag 2 - Van Amalfi naar Maiori

      May 6 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      Om 7 uur worden we wakker gebeld door de kerktoren in het dorp. Waarom hij dan 10 keer slaat is ons een raadsel.
      We ontbijten op ons prachtige terras van het hotel en doen het rustig aan.
      Na het ontbijt beginnen we aan een dag wandelen. Via Atrani en Minori via de Sentieiro di Limone naar Maiori.
      In Amalfi via allerlei gangetjes, trappetjes, binnendoor, buitenlangs via een prachtige begraafplaats naar Atrani.
      Daar heerlijk koffie en lekkernij en verder naar Minori. Prachtige vergezichten, Mediterrané, zo blauw, zo blauw. Mooie terasbebouwing, veel citroenen, olijven, abrikozen ea.
      Mats schrikt van de hagedissen, wordt op een gegeven moment wat panisch. Als ik op een gegeven moment en behoorlijk grote zwarte slang zie wegschieten, zeg ik eerst niets tegen hem maar leidt hem langs de plek waar de slang in de muur schoot. Daarna vertel ik het hem. Basisfout. Hij moet huilen van de schrik en blijft daar even in hangen. Toen nog een blaffende hond en was het einde zoek. Na een tijdje en vooral na de lunch gaat het gelukkig weer.
      In Minori lekkere lunch en toen het laatste stuk (de Sentiero di Limone) naar Maiori. Dat laatste stuk is mooi, eigenlijk was alles heel mooi, maar hier echt heel veel van die belachelijk grote citroenen die ze hier groeien. Ook een beetje toerist trap. Daardoor wat drukker (maar nog steeds heel rustig). 1 Euro voor een bekertje citroensap aangelengd met water. We kregen er wel mooie foto's in de boomgaard bij.
      In Maiori welverdiend ijsje (-je), even pootje baden in heerlijk lauw zeewater.
      Met de pont terug naar Amalfi.
      Ilse en Mats naar hotel. Ik nog even kort gezwommen in zee. Heerlijk!!
      Vandaag kiest Ilse het restaurant. Het wordt een restaurantje waar we de ochtend langs gelopen zijn. Een heerlijke binnenplaats/tuin onder....... citroenbomen!! Hoe toepasselijk. Heerlijke pizza's en goddelijke citroen tiramisu.
      Nachtrust enigzins verstoord door continu blaffende hond. Echt urenlang. Hoe is het mogelijk....

      Amalfi - Tag 9

      September 13, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      Am Morgen danach wachte ich durch laute Stimmen am Gang auf und hörte jemanden auf englisch reden und diskutieren. Der obligatorische Blick auf mein Handy nach dem aufstehen verriet mir, warum Jojo nicht im Zimmer war. Er machte eine morgendliche Rollertour durch Amalfi… dann hörte ich mir die Sprachmemo an: „ Ich bin in Amalfi gewesen und bei der Rückfahrt zum Hotel bin ich gestürzt wegen so nem italienischen Volldeppen!“ die Stimmen im Flur kamen mir nun bekannt vor. Es war die Hotelbesitzerin und Jojo. Nachdem er mir den Vorfall geschildert hatte gingen wir zur Polizei die den Vorfall aufgenommen hatte. Nach einigem Suchen fanden wir das Revier und versuchten die Adresse vom Unfallverursacher zu ermitteln. Die Polizei meinte, dass es keinen Bericht gibt da keine Unfall passiert sei. Jojo stürzte nämlich während des Bremsmänovers und berührte somit nicht das Auto des Verursachers, welcher Jojo die Vorfahrt nahm. Nachdem wir die Daten hatten ging es zum Rollerverleih um die Schadensmeldung aufzunehmen. Nach zwei Stunden Diskussion schafften wir es erstmal nichts zu zahlen solange die Versicherungen sich nicht abgesprochen hatten und aßen zu Abend.Read more

    • Day 17 - Travels To Amalifi Coast, Italy

      July 26, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

      Hello my names Matt, and this is my story!

      This morning was an early start for Katie & I, 5.30am to get ready to fly to the next part of our trip - Italy!
      Dad & Desma woke at 5.45am to wish a cheerio and bon voyage on our next leg of the trip. Katie & I have thoroughly enjoyed travelling with Dad & Desma, I have learnt my father may be a math wiz but technology has a fair bit of a way to go! It was a great start to our trip and having someone been to Ireland before creating the route & seeing Malta with Charlie & Cornelia was amazing to start the trip off instead of diving into our own plans head first. I also now have bragging rights over the 3 sons, as I currently am the only one to have travelled to Mum’s home town with her and now Dad’s home town with him.

      After the farewell we jumped into a cab and headed for the airport. Once baggage was sorted and sitting on the plane, Ryan Air made the announcement we would be running late - 45minutes. No bother on our front just a very hot Matt sitting in a tin can, on a runway waiting for take off & also myself annoying Katie!

      Once in Naples we headed out of the airport to find the bus to get to Grand Central Station. While walking I had a few offers of ‘taxi’ at the same price as the bus - these were not in the taxi area and I wasn’t getting fooled!

      From Naples we travelled to Salerno, the gateway to the Amalfi Coast, by train. Train was running 10 minutes late, again no bother again as everything seemed to be coming in our favour with the delays.

      Got to Salerno, headed for the ferry to take us to Minori. As we were walking Katie was having trouble keeping her dress down due to wind, we also found out wind causes rough seas, rough seas causes cancelled ferries! Can’t win them all!

      So off to find the bus stop, as I brought the bus tickets I got a good luck from the lady, yep was going to need it. First bus we saw just kept driving past us full. So we walked to the first stop on the line and joined the masses. We got on the next bus. Everyone got on but he stopped at the next stop and only let two on!

      Hour and a half later, a lot of views and laughs watching the bus take very tight corners and take both lanes to do it we made it to Minori.

      Pretty stuffed from our travels we checked in, showered.
      Went for a walk and got a drink at California Beach cafe, decided on Dinner at La Locanda Del Pescatore - great food, arsehole of a waiter! - then bed time for us!

      Ravello

      May 14 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      We travelled thru very high hills with very steep cliff edges, that were extremely narrow. We arrived at Ravello, a small town with a villa that was started 1000 yrs ago. A church in the town square was equally old. Amazing views of the town which we are staying in from the villa.Read more

      NAPLES (AMAIFI COAST SERENTO AND POMPEII

      November 22, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Last excursion of the trip grey sky's turned blue once more me. The boat tour of the Amalfi Coast was beautiful. Spent a little time in the town of Amalfi had a lemoncello. Then, back to Serento, just a peak then lunch and then toured the ruins of Pompeii. They were pretty incredible, but my tour was to be Capri and Positanio . Apparently, some roads were closed for repairs, hence the change.Read more

      Ausflug nach Maiori

      May 29, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

      Wir fahren von unserem Berg hinunter an die Küste nach Maiori.
      Es sind nicht einmal 7 km bis nach Amalfi aber hier ist alles viel beschaulicher. Keine Menschen, kein Gedränge. Man kann gemütlich an der Strandpromenade flanieren.
      Im Hafen beim Fähranleger in der kleinen Bar haben wir den besten Limoncello Spritz unserer Reise getrunken - und wir haben viele probiert 😉
