Driving The Amalfi Coast Is A Dream Come True

It is Thursday night here in Roma and we just got here today after two beautiful days in the Province of Campania, home to Napoli, Salerno and the famous Amalfi Coastline. Yesterday we drove from Napoli, through the mountains to Salerno and along the Amalfi Coast, stopping here and there along the way. The roads were treacherous, seeing tourist buses clear them was incredible, but the view of the sea and the towns built on the sides of the mountains was all worth it. So here are a few pictures of what we got to see. And remember, the pixels on the screen do not do it justice.


This will scare the crap out of my Mom, but I actually drove this stick-shift "Smart" car through canyons with hair-pin turns while buses threaten to clip the car if you don't get out of their way.


First we went to Salerno to grab a quick bite, before the curves of the Amalfi Coast began.


A scene from the madness along the coast.


Though when we got to Amalfi, the people, the architecture and everything about the town was all worth it.


And how can you beat this view?
