Day 2
Minori
March 1 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
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 (still mostly 2 way traffic) around the cliff edge. Not for the faint hearted but definitely a way of life here as people trek back and forth. Sadly we missed the market but we had a good wander around, sheltering in doorways when it absolutely poured!
We are in low season so everything is relatively quiet and not a lot of restaurants etc open. One can easily imagine how busy it soon will be. That said we went into the local deli in Minori and had the most amazing sandwich. The baguette was crammed full with fresh cut ham, mozza, tomatoes and arugula. Bursting with flavour! We enjoyed that on a seafront bench.
As you can tell, we are slowing down!Read more
Traveler Looks amazing! You are making me want to go to Italy. It sounds nice and peaceful there at this time of year.

Day 3
Amalfi

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. Good idea as the bus arrived 5 mins later. A hair raising, hairpin drive with fabulous coast scenery. Do NOT drive in Amalfi!
Lovely stroll through tiny side streets and passages to avoid the definitely touristy area of the main street. Everything printed with lemons or the name. Two way traffic thru what appeared to be a pedestrian area. Crazy, delightful chaos.
Found a great spot for lunch - home made vegetable soup, fish and lemon potato croquettes and a glass of local rose vino.
Checked out the impressive cathedral from the outside only & walked the waterfront.
Bus home, picked up supplies for pasta and salad. People so friendly and helpful.Read more
