The Amalfi Coast!

We drove the Amalfi Coast today! It wasn’t quite expected but that is the route we found ourselves on to get to Sant’Agata. And what a drive! Cars (and really big tour buses) squeezing past each other on hair pin turns with the sea on one side and mountain cliffs on the other. All the while, scooters are passing you on blind corners and miraculously finding space in between your car and the one on coming. There was some spectacular scenery but it was hard to take it all in because of all of the traffic going on around you. From the glimpses we caught we are pretty excited to come back and check it out at a much slower pace. But after 2 hours of driving the novelty had worn off and Mike was happy to get to our apartment. And enjoy a well deserved beer on our terrace with an amazing view of the Tyrrhenian Sea. By evening, Mike and I weren’t hungry so stayed behind while John and Traudi went out to dinner. And found ourselves pretty blissful as we sat outside, wrapped up in a blanket, looking at the stars and the moon’s reflection on the sea.
