Amalfi coast
indescribable
11/16/2008
Breakfast at Almalfi, lunch in positono, and dinner in Sorrento. Driving the coast was so far the best part of the trip. There really aren't enough words to describe it. The roads are insane around these mountains, twisting and turning with barely enough room for two cars to pass one another. Although some how the scooters and motorcycles still squeeze through the middle? These guys are fearless around these bends. For that matter it amazed me when cars would pass slower cars(us). The line in the middle of the road is only a suggestion as I have read and it's very true. This ride had got to be one of the best I have ever seen. Again how these people get there houses in the spots they do is just incredible. Some just dug a hole in the side of the mountain like a cave and called it home I think. When we got to Amalfi, which is a small but beautiful town we walked into or up through it in amazement that people really live on this mountain side. Little shops and stores just like any other community. Fish market, restaurants, church, supply store, the whole nine yards. I couldn't believe that there was enough business there for everyone to be sufficient and live. I know it's a tourist stop but everyone can't own a gift shop? I don't know I guess it works. Positono was the same way except a lot bigger and there were a lot more steps. Positono did have a beach where me and jess got to put our hands into the Mediterranean which was warm as hell by the way. We were finishing up lunch when out in the sea we could see the rain hitting the water and we knew it was time to go. Of course we were at the bottom of about a million steps. These people are in shape I'll tell you that. OH and the woman of this town....GORGEOUS!!!! They have a beautiful gene for sure!! I really don't know what to write about our coast drive. When you see the pictures you'll see why. I'm saving the Sorrento story for when I get a chance to explain it all.
