Italy, Friday Day 3, Positano

You don't know the meaning of "narrow, winding route" until you've shut your eyes tight on the Amalfi Coast. We started Day 3 leaving Sorrento for Positano and Amalfi. I've seen accounts that the locals are aggressive drivers, but faced with our bus, they were very well behaved. The scenery really is gorgeous if you're not sitting by the window ("don't look up, don't look down" were the first 2 rules I saw in a guidebook). The history of this area is a bit murky, with the first recorded information starting in the 9-10th centuries. But there are lots of wars, a fuedal system, maritime adventures and church squabbles to look into here.

Italy, going to the dogs, cats and cows

We saw scooters every where--women zipping around in high heels and mini-skirts, children, groups, and dogs. What we didn't see were traffic lights.
