I was warned about the steps in Dubrovnik, but they’re nothing compared to just about everywhere I’ve been in Italy (wait til we get to the Path of the Gods!).
I was warned about the roads on the Amalfi Coast and by jingo, they weren’t exaggerating.
After 3 hours of steps on our first day out we made bloody sure we didn’t miss the bus the next day. But I gotta tell ya, if you don’t like roller coasters, you won’t like the roads of Amalfi, especially in a crowded bus. And let’s not get started about the mystery of trying to find the right bus to get back home. We had several goes at it and it never got any easier to figure out. And if you didn’t get to your bus quick enough it meant you’re standing up all the way home and it’s not much fun standing up in a roller coaster.
Amalfi is a town situated along the Amalfi Coast. Most people have probably heard of Positano which is a bit further along the Amalfi Coast and a bit more expensive.
Amalfi was our central point to get to from where we were staying and then we decanted to other places before returning to do the bus shuffle to get home.

At least the view when we got home to Furore was tranquil. (That’s if we managed to figure out where our bus stop was in time)
These photos are from the misty morning in Amalfi before we headed up more treacherous roads to reach Ravello and a rainy start to the day. When we headed back to Amalfi in the afternoon the weather was glorious. (I’ll have photos of Ravello and the most gorgeous garden in the next post)
