Amalfi Coast

Along the Amalfi Coast

I took this photo from a bus going between Sorrento & Amalfi

Breathtaking Views

The road with tight, twisting turns,
is about 500 feet above the Mediterranean

Another Hill Town

We passed several hill towns along the way

Rick Steves Says…

“You’ll gain respect for the 19th-century Italian engineers who built the roads-and even more respect for the 21st-century bus drivers who squeeze past each other here daily.”

Modern Art Figures

I found it interesting to find these figures
amidst medieval structures

One of Many Watchtowers

These stony towers were built to warn of Turkish pirate attacks
