We then caught a ferry to Amalfi and all along the coast there were houses balancing on the rocks over the ocean. It is a very pretty coastline and the trip was enjoyable. We got to Amalfi and walked around the little town and then decided to head for the beach. This was a dangerous expedition since the roads are narrow, very windy and there are no pavements. Besides the fact that the Italians don’t know how to drive. We arrived at a sandy beach and now we had to pay to sit there. A bit of negotiations and we had 2 chairs for a good price.

We had dinner in Positano and left quickly realizing we could not afford anything else. The bus trip back to Sorrento was more of a rollercoaster ride and it was packed. Unfortunately a few people got left behind at the bus stop. We did it the Italian way so we were fine, one has to push a little…
