Amalfi, Italy

Amalfi, Italy: Not a place to drive if you are intimidated by very narrow streets, roads that hang off of shear cliffs, cars buzzing around like flies and are not much bigger than one.  So settle in and relax, go to the square, have a coffee and Panini  (flat grilled sandwich) or a piece of pizza, you’re going to want to stay for a decade or two. The bells that constantly sound tell of the time to 15 minute intervals, the beginning of mass, the end of mass, start of school, end of school, lunchtime, back from lunch and sometimes they happily ring for, who knows.  Do explore the hills surrounding town, what appears to be a big horn sheep trail is really a sidewalk that weaves in and out of lemon groves.
