We caught the SITA bus and rode into Amalfi. It is a beautiful and charming town nestled into the cliffs. We quickly learned that Italian drivers on the coast have no concept of traffic laws whatsoever. Lanes? What lanes? Of course you can squeeze a bus, a Vespa, a Fiat and 10 pedestrians into the same 15 foot wide road! People stop wherever they want, a motorcycle with a grandmother driving it can rocket headlong into oncoming traffic and nobody bats an eye. One way streets? Those are for wusses. Michelle thought the ride felt amazing. She did not actually see the road as she had her eyes closed for the bulk of the bus ride. :-)
We explored the streets and ate the local version of fish and chips... very different! The girls explored the flea market of which there is no international difference whatsoever.
We discovered Limoncello. Wow. Very good. Very potent! Upon returning home, we walked up to the local grocery store and picked out items for a "snacking" dinner. It was very interesting buying goods in this tiny little family grocery. We bought a liter of wine that they filled for us and they went across the busy and narrow street to snip some basil from baskets hung from the street rail. By the way it was delicious!
